Triple Red Dinner

In the mood for something different for dinner. As I opened my pantry, a bunch of red food packages stared at me, thus the triple red dinner theme.

First, a can of crushed tomatoes was used to cover a half chicken along with fresh jardin marjoram. The chicken was thrown into the oven to braise slowly on low heat.

Then a package of equita whole jasmine red rice from Thailand. You can find this at Ten Thousand Villages.

The rice took twice as long to cook as the package instructions indicated and the jasmine aspect was much weaker than typical jasmine rice. But it sure was red and was nicely consumed.

The third red was a bag of Leuchtenberg Apfel Rotkohl (available at European Specialty Importers).

These are already prepared red cabbage sauerkraut with apples. All you have to do is heat them up with a bit of butter and serve.

Put the three reds together and a fancy triple red dinner was served. How fun.
