Saw <a href=”http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_34214,00.html” target=”_blank”>this</a> on an episode of <a href=”http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_da/0,2661,FOOD_21436,00.html” target=”_blank”>Good Deal with Dave Lieberman</a>, it looked tasty, seemed pretty cheap, and it was my turn to prepare a meal.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, it wasn’t that tasty unless good amounts of salt were added on your plate. Once it was added though, it was a pretty good meal… The family enjoyed it (note: the recipe makes a solid portion for 5 people).<br/><br/>The prep time was way off, which I’m used to with food show recipes, but I am not used to it being off by as much as it was; figure two hours to make this start to finish. Clean up time was also very lengthy as there are many cooking vessels and containers involved.<br/><br/>Given the time and effort this entire meal took, it wasn’t worth it. I doubt I’ll be making it again unless someone makes a special request for it. The only real positive I have to say about it is that you’re left with 3/4 a bottle of wine that must be drank.<br/><br/>Cost: ~$4/serving<br/><br/><span style=”font-weight: bold;”>6.5/10</span> – Took a long time, wasn’t all that good<br/>
