My Activity
Reviewed Garlic Chicken in Casserole with Israeli Couscous
"I tried this recipe despite some of the negative reviews because it sounded so good when Anne was making it on her show. However, my experience with it is that it's just OK.
While I like saffron and use it in other dishes, I found it muddied and overwhelmed the flavors of the dish in this instance. I would have liked a stronger garlic flavor-- maybe it would be good to incorporate some of the roasted garlic into the couscous?
In general, this was a lot of work for only OK results, so I wouldn't do the dish as is again. On its own the couscous is nice, and I might make it again with less saffron and some garlic and pair it with beef, or just a salad as a meatless dish. I felt that the chicken wasn't strongly flavored enough to stand up to the couscous.
I also noticed that like dmurphy431 says, that when browning the chicken, the marinade burned. It wasn't delicious brown food, but bitter burnt bits that got incorporated into the couscous. Not good eats!"
