Lemon Herb Haddock

I don’t make fish nearly as often as I should. It’s mostly due to the fact that I’m pretty picky about what seafood I will eat… And, I’m even pickier about what seafood I will cook.

I usually stick to pretty basic recipes when it comes to fish… I’m always afraid I won’t cook it right or that it will be too fishy, so I tend to keep it simple. A few weeks ago, I was inspired to try making salmon for the first time. I ended up making a version of this recipe… My husband thought it was great, but I couldn’t eat it. There’s something about knowing that there’s skin on the bottom of my fish that renders it completely inedible to me. Plus, I wasn’t thrilled about the taste. I gave it a fair chance, but it wasn’t my thing.

Slow Cooked Lentils with Chorizo

I realize that for someone who spends as much time in the kitchen as I do, you would expect that I could make rice. I would expect that I could make rice. But here’s the thing… I was a stirrer. I would stir and stir away, adding liquid when the rice would star to seem dry. I would end up with rice that would make a great substitute for wallpaper paste.

Everything changed last week. I decided to make these smokey, slow cooked lentils with chorizo in my slow cooker. I originally thought I would make some sourdough bread to go with the dish, but the Spanish-inspired flavors just begged for rice. I had to (finally) learn how to properly make rice, so I decided to go to the best source I know… Twitter!
