Mushroom Risotto

Monday, September 26th, 2016

Amazon had a great lightning deal on Instant Pot electronic pressure cookers. Several of my friends have been raving about theirs, so I finally hit the buy button. I gotta say, I do love it! We tried the kalua pork that's in the instruction manual, which turned ...

Chicken and Rice

Tuesday, October 7th, 2014

This is a great way to use up leftovers and bits and pieces of veggies. I used leftover steamed rice, leftover chicken from one of our cider roasted chickens, some carrots, and some peas. Mushrooms would also go very well in this. I didn't end up seasoning ...

Chicken and Shiitake Stir Fry and Stir Fried Snow Peas

Saturday, July 9th, 2011

An easy and healthy dinner tonight using shiitake mushrooms and snow peas from my CSA boxes :-) This is infinitely adaptable to your tastes in meats and veggies. The sauce has a bit of a kick from the red pepper flakes, so omit them if you prefer. ...

Mushroom Risotto

Saturday, November 6th, 2010

Starting from my basic risotto recipe I added sauteed chopped chanterelle mushrooms and just a little finely grated black truffle on top to this version for a rich and delicious side dish. The black truffle is of course easily omitted; I just saw them in Central Market next to ...

Simple Broiled Flanken Cut Short Ribs and Easy Brown Rice

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

I was going to do some galbi tonight, but the lack of motivation is still quite present, so I just sprinkled the meat with some kosher salt and black pepper and broiled them until nicely browned. With some grape tomatoes and a cup of brown Minute Rice, one of ...

Bibimbap (Korean Mixed Rice Bowls)

Saturday, April 17th, 2010

This is a Korean dish that is very versatile. The name literally means "mixed rice." I make mine with galbi marinated thinly sliced beef; stir fried zucchini, carrots, and cabbage; and a fried egg. Kimchi is more traditional, but I'm not much of a fan, so the ...

Jambalaya

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

A day late and a dollar short, but here's some jambalaya in celebration of Mardi Gras. I suppose it's Mercredi Gras for us :-P I got the inspiration for this version from this recipe (originally from Cooking Light, April 2005). I tweaked my version ...

Chicken Fried Rice

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

This is an easy and tasty meal that uses up leftover steamed rice. Next time I'm going to add a little fresh garlic just before adding the rice to the wok. This was very good but could use just a little more flavor to push it to excellent. Chicken ...
