Also, when I do Italian sausages, I put that, plus about 1/4 cup water to keep it moist, in a round casserole with lid also and nuke for 5 minutes; if it isn’t fork-firm, I just stick it in for another minute or two.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Sometime soon, I’m going to try my hand at a nice lentil/chickpea/lamb stew I read about recently, with all kinds of nice seasonings and even orzo and lemon juice, plus lamb chops which I intend to cut into bite-sized pieces with kitchen shears and not even bother browning.
