29 January 2004 - Can You Catch the Cacciatore? My latest endeavor into low-fat cooking had rather blah results. I took a recipe that I pulled from a magazine a while ago and attempted to adapt it to a lower-fat dish. I'm so sure why, but it was really quite bland when it was done...odd, because I usually love chicken no matter how it's cooked (as long as it's cooked!), and chicken cacciatore is normally one great dinner. Maybe my taste buds had taken a leave of absence or something that evening. I served it with a not-so-great side-dish of stir-fried savoy cabbage and peppers...not bad but I think I cooked it a bit too long, waiting for the chicken to finish cooking, so the cabbage was just a bit wilted. The cabbage was a recipe I saw on Oliver's Twist (Jamie Oliver) a while ago and tasted okay but limp cabbage is neither attractive nor is it really very palatable, honestly. S. was appreciative of the dinner; he even claimed that the chicken tasted good...which is nice of him since I'm the one on the diet, not him.
