'Country Captain'
Hub Blog last night ventured out of my New Englander's cooking comfort zone and tried homemade 'Country Captain,' a popular dish in Charleston, S.C., and Savannah, Ga. It's ultimately a comfort food, so I won't sing its praise too much. But it's quite good and easy to make. The recipe is here. FYI: 1.) Currants, for all you fellow gourmet-challenged New Englanders, are virtually the same in texture and taste as raisins (I didn't know that until last night). 2.) I'd put in a little extra curry. 3.) I strongly suspect that Country Captain, like most good comfort foods, is even better as leftovers. So guess what I'm eagerly looking forward to eating tonight.
