Notes about Recipes in this book

• White beans and shrimp

    The dish was very good. We will definitely make it again. It's a 4 out of 5. With caveats.... * 1. We had a smoked ham hock on hand and used it instead of the ham steak. * 2. Since we had the ham hock and used boxed chicken stock we skipped the salt. * 3. The beans were 5-6 years old, so the cooking time was more in the area of 3 1/2 hours instead of 1 hour called for in the recipe. That's on us and not a ding on the recipe. * 4. We decided to skip the shrimp. One might argue skipping the shrimp moves too far beyond the scope of the recipe, but what is nice about the recipe is the timing of ingredients and the technique used to cook the ingredients. The timing and technique really punctuates the flavor of the liquid. It will be part of our rotation.
