Chicken and couscous with black beans

I would have preferred this with chicken, actually, but it was pork’s turn in the rotation, so hands tied.
I used a pound of frozen cauliflower for this one. It was bland. I ended up adding rice, peanut butter, and chicken bouillon to turn it into a sort of porridge.

This cornbread was crossing into cake territory, which I appreciated because it stayed moist after the first day.
I cooked the beans with anchovies, which works pretty well if you don’t mind them tasting like anchovies.
I made Chef John’s dynamite rice again.
I used shrimp and tilapia for the topping, which came out surprisingly tender. I think the mayonnaise somehow helps keep the seafood from overcooking. It would be interesting to try this technique with chicken breast.
This was inspired by some “chicken pot pie soup” recipes I’ve seen. I used some frozen mixed vegetables and precooked chicken to make it easier.
For the salad, I shredded the last of my daikon, salted it, and mixed it with some gochujang, chili flakes, and sugar. It was awful.
I used a simple peanut sauce made from coconut milk, peanut butter, and sugar. Thai curry paste also works in this sauce but I don’t think it’s necessary.
