Questions & Replies

  1. Is it really only 1/2 cup of broth? Seems like it’s not enough to serve 4??

  1. This smelled so good while it was cooking, I could hardly wait to get it on my plate! I took Leah K.'s advice and added some cornstarch, and I used less spinach. Overall, a very tasty dish!
     
  2. A really easy,quick,and delicious dinner. I added some cornstarch to thicken the sauce a bit, and served it with steamed rice.Yet another winning recipe from the kitchen of Mirjam Dorn.
     
  3. This was such good soup! I love soup with spinach. I came down with a terrible cold today, so decided to make soup instead of the other chicken dish I was going to make. So far, it's been the only up side to having a cold. I had to put noodles in it so the kids would eat it, and I left out the beans because I don't like beans at all. Thank you for a great soup recipe!
     
  4. Thanks for this delicious stew that's become part of our regular rotation! The key to the flavour is in the rosemary and garlic - we substitute a tablespoon of fresh rosemary for the teaspoon of dried rosemary called for in the recipe. We also make it more nutritious by adding a can of chopped tomatoes and substituting double kale for the spinach (I also prefer the texture of kale to spinach in soups and stews). Because we're trying to reduce our meat consumption, we also use half the amount of organic, locally raised chicken. When we want to make it heartier, we add more beans and/or potatoes.
     
  5. This was delicious! I'm going through a phase with cannellini beans at the moment and I can't get enough - all the flavours along with the beans and chicken made this a winning dish which we will definitely be having again!

  1. My, but this was delicious! I used kale instead of spinach (more tradition in Tuscan cooking), and I used about 1 cup broth instead of 1/2 cup as it seemed a little dry. It didn't make very much, but it was just enough for my husband, our toddler, and me (so long as we aren't ravenous or wanting leftovers!). I think I didn't use quite enough chicken breast (I used 2 boneless skinless halves out of a bagful). Next time I think I'll try 3. Also, since kale requires more cooking than spinach, I added it after 2-3 minutes instead of after 10 and stirred it around a couple of times while it all cooked. The kale was excellent in it--I don't think I'd like the flavor of spinach nearly as well. Overall, it was absolutely delicous; we all loved it (even Mr. Fussypants the 2-year old ate some!). I served it with ciabatta bread and some cheeses, which made for a nice, rustic supper.
