80 chicken makes its Recipes

chili gravy (adapted from a robb walsh recipe) - makes 2 cups, vegetable oil, flour, black pepper, salt, powdered garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano (mexican oregano is preferred if it s available), chile powder, chicken broth (or water) (i used a combination of both), vegetable oil, corn tortillas, shredded cheddar cheese (can make it with velveeta for extra melting oomph and good ol tex-mex authenticity. i used monterey jack and cheddar as that s what i had), onion, diced, chili gravy

curry, mustard (powdered , if you have it, wet mustard, you might need more), paprika, mayonnaise, pickle juice, chopped dill pickles (not sweet relish, yeck!), pepper, celery seed, chives

elbow macaroni, butter (the original recipe calls for 9 tbsp. - i like to use 8 tbsp of unsalted - or 1 stick. you probably could get by with even less if you are so inclined...), shredded muenster cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, shredded monterey jack cheese, feel free to up the cheese quotient. and invite me for dinner! ), half-and-half, cubed processed cheese food (don tsp be a velveeta snob like i was - this makes the sauce so darn cheesy/creamy. if you want to remain a v-snob, then go for cream cheese, but it won tsp be the same. but hey, it s your thang - do what you wanna do. heh.), eggs, beaten, salt, dry mustard, ground black pepper, any combination ), ground meat, browned (turkey, chicken, beef, pork), breakfast sausage such as jimmy dean regular or hot (browned and drained - 1 lb.), keilbasa or andouille (cut into chunks and browned in a wee bit of olive oil), fresh chorizo, casing removed, browned and broken up, onion, diced and sauteed until translucent, jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped (for a milder taste, use poblano, or go crazy and use serranos or a habanero), crushed red pepper flake to taste, roasted red pepper, chopped, i have even added, artichoke hearts, drained and loosely chopped, cheesy note : another great cheese combo and 1 of my favorite spins is using shredded asiago, provolone, mozzarella and a sharp cheddar. delish, use a pepper jack cheese in the mix . or a smoked cheddar. i adore cheese and it all works for me and makes this recipe wonderful, comforting and lusciously decadent.

sweet unsalted butter (make sure it s unsalted), carton sour cream (i use full fat because i think fat free tastes funny, but that s my own personal opinion), carton half-and-half (you can use whipping cream if you would like the sauce to be richer), instant chicken bouillon granules (depending on the desired saltiness), chopped garlic (i used the jarred kind because its eaiser than chopping my own), dried basil, only crushed (i ve tried it with fresh basil and it doesn tsp even come close to taste!)

whole foods web site : there are endless variations on this soup, but the main elements are meatballs and greens. in our recipe, we make meatballs of ground beef and pork, and we add plenty of fresh herbs and kale for the green component. while the name indicates that the soup might be served at an italian wedding, it is actually a mistranslation of minestra maritata, which refers to the marriage of greens and meat in the soup., ground beef, ground pork, egg, fresh white breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, chopped garlic, chopped fresh oregano, chopped flat leaf parsley, ground nutmeg, paprika, salt, pepper, unsalted butter, chopped garlic, chopped white onion, chopped carrot, salt, pepper, low-sodium chicken broth, water, whole tomatoes, drained and halved, orzo (rice shaped pasta), shredded kale

risotto with sausage and cranberry beans, make risotto , you absolutely must use a specific type of rice called arborio rice (carnaroli and vialone nano are also used, some say superior, but are more difficult to find). these types of rice release starch when stirred in a liquid; it is this process which makes risotto, otherwise you just have a starchy mess of mush. these types of rice are identified by their fat round grains and pearly appearance. they can be used to make other sorts of rice dishes, such as pilaf, but other types of rice cannot be used for risotto. arborio is no longer that much of a specialty product; it can be found in most large, well-stocked grocery stores in the italian section. or sometimes, misguidedly, in the asian section., okay , so now we have the rice. you will also need some good, low-salt stock or broth - it should be low-salt not for health reasons, but because a good deal of it will evaporate, leaving its salt behind, and i like to have more control over the salt in a dish. it can be homemade, but i m not going to be a snob about it because, in truth, we go through gallons of store-bought stock in this household and i don tsp see that changing anytime soon. furthermore, risotto is actually a dish which can be whipped up out of thin air when it seems as though you have nothing to eat, as long as you have butter, rice, stock, maybe a few herbs, and some leftover parmesan. i like the kind of stock purchased in tetrapak cartons, because they are resealable and can be put in the fridge and used as needed. if you really want to use homemade but you don tsp have time to make stock or don tsp like the aroma of roasting bones in your house (i don tsp blame you), you can buy really great stock at north market poultry and game - it is expensive, but can be diluted with a 2- or 3-to-1 ratio of water to stock, so it stretches. my general guideline is to plan on 1/4 cup dry rice per person, and about 4 cups of stock to 1 cup of rice. of course, this isn tsp exact and will vary depending on your elevation and the phases of the moon, but it s a good place to start. i usually just use 4 cups of stock and then dilute with water or wine (or sometimes beer, if that s all i have) if i feel i m going to run out., well, we have rice and stock covered, now we just need our setup: place the stock in a saucepan on your rear burner, bring to a simmer, and leave it there with a 6-8 oz ladle in, and place a large, wide saute pan (must be really large, plan that your rice will at least quadruple in size) or dutch oven on the burner in front. get out your favorite wooden spoon and flex your stirring arm., nice thing about using sausage is it s so full of flavor you can leave out the usual onion/garlic/shallot/celery nonsense if you re tired and don tsp feel like chopping. furthermore, sausage goes from the freezer to the pan without suffering too much. okay, let s go, risotto with sausage and cranberry beans - serves 4, links italian sausage , or 1 lb bulk (or hot, or a combination - definitely with some fennel), casings removed, cooked cranberry beans or 1 can white beans, drained, arborio rice, beef , chicken or vegetable stock, butter, freshly, finely grated parmesan cheese , plus more for garnish, an oz) flat-leaf parsley, chopped finely, lemon juice , or juice from 1/2 lemon, salt and black pepper to taste, red pepper flakes to taste, optional, good balsamic vinegar , optional

seasonal fish and vegetables are used in tempura. the ingredients for tempura in the recipe below are only a few of the many, many common ingredients that lend themselves to this treatment. shrimp; squid; small whole fish like perch, smelt, and goby; white-fleshed saltwater fish; eggplant; green beans; onion rings; sweet potato slices; bell pepper strips; mushrooms - the list could go on for several pages. chicken, beef and pork, however, are not usually prepared as tempura because of their relatively heavier, identifiable taste. chicken and pork are deep-fried in other ways, and beef is often given a more highlighted preparation, say, in sukiyaki., http://japanesefood.about.com/od/tempura/a/cookingtempura.htm, basic steps for cooking tempura, prepare the ingredients ., make tempura batter ., heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 340-350f degree., lightly dip ingredients in the batter and immediately fry them until crisp. it takes longer to fry vegetables than to fry seafood., drain tempura on a rack ., serve right away with tentsuyu (tempura dipping sauce) or salt. tempura is best served hot. *grated daikon radish is a common condiment., tempura batter recipe - japanese recipe, http://japanesefood.about.com/od/tempura/r/tempurabatter.htm, egg, ice water, all purpose flour, preparation, beat an egg in a bowl. add ice water in the bowl. be sure to use very cold water., add sifted flour in the bowl and mix lightly. be careful not to overmix the batter., tempura dipping sauce recipe, tempura dipping sauce is called tentsuyu in japanese. serve this sauce with tempura., dashi soup stock, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, preparation, put mirin in a pan and heat. add soy sauce and dashi soup stock in the pan. bring the sauce to a boil., tips for making crispy tempura, by setsuko yoshizuka, tip 1: ice, use ice water for the batter. this is really important to prevent the batter from absorbing too much oil., tip 2: batter (tempura batter recipe), do not make the batter ahead of time. try not to over mix the batter and not to coat ingredients with the batter too much., if you are frying both seafood and vegetables, fry vegetables first. then, fry seafood. fry vegetables at 340f degree and fry seafood at 350f degree., tip 4: oil temperature, check the temperature of frying oil , drop a little batter into the oil. if the batter comes up right away instead of sinking to the bottom of the pan, it s about 360 f degree. if the batter goes halfway to the bottom and comes up, it s about 340f degree. this is said to be the right temperature to fry tempura.

most of my recipes are open to fit your tastes and i usually add some options to make the recipe more to what you like., risotto is a very nice dish than can be use as a complete meal or a side dish. the preparation for risotto requires more simmering than boiling and 1 must be gentle in the cooking process., rice (use what kind you like)( i have made this with several kinds of ), olive oil (and/or butter), chopped onion, rice per person if it is a main dish or 2 oz per person if it is a side dish., canned or homemade chicken broth, white wine ( a good your favorite), saffron ( pinch), parmesan cheese (use your tastes on this ), chopped spinach, chopped porcine mushrooms, chopped asparagus, other vegetables to your taste, i have also used orzo to make a version of this., when buying rice to make a risotto, choose short-grained round or semi-round rice; among the best rices for making risotto are arborio, vialone nano, and carnaroli. other short-grained rices such as originario will also work. long grained rice such as patna won tsp do, because the grains will stay separate. nor should you use minute rice -- it won tsp absorb the condiments, and again the grains will remain separate.

dried corn husks, lard or vegetable shortening (i used . it adds flavor. it s not that bad once in a while, it s a saturated fat yes, but vegetable shortening is a trans fat, and i think that s worse for you. you can render your own using the cut off fat from pork roast and pork chops. do not use salt pork or bacon - ask your butcher for about 1 1/2 lb of pork fat), baking powder, blue corn meal ( is coarser than yellow, but if you want to make yellow tamales, get masa harina for tamales), water, chicken stock, preferably homemade, salt, poblano chilies, seeded and cut into a small dice, fresh or frozen corn (thawed if frozen ), monterey jack cheese , cut into a small dice
