cut up chicken, skin removed (i used a pack of broiler or fryer pieces, i usually will cut the breasts into 2 pieces so they cook ), shrimp, peeled, eckridge smoked sausage , cut in 1 1/2 - 2-inch pieces on a angle, onion, chopped, green pepper, chopped, tomato sauce (now i often use a garlic herb, basil oregano, or any combination you like, but even just plain sauce), white wine (1/4 to deglaze the pan, 3/4 cup for the sauce), butter (to saute the chicken), minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper

if you do not have a lot of leftovers , use your judment on the ingridients, a little less rice or margarine ect., white rice cooked (see my recipe for fast rice), frozen vegetables peas-corn-beans-broccoli ( use the ones that are cut small), margarine / 1 of olive oil, green onions chopped into small pieces, soya sauce, scramble eggs, now for the best ingredient your leftover s = you can use, any leftover bbq, chicken, hot dogs, burgers, turkey, breakfast sausages, bacon, you get the idea

chicken breast, thin sliced, black beans, rinsed and drained, roasted red peppers, roasted corn about 3 ears of corn (now it doesn tsp take long to roast in the oven and to me it really makes the dish, but if you want yo), green chilies (you can more or less depending of hot much heat you want), onion, cut in half and thin sliced, taco seasoning mix, water, olive oil to saute the chicken, tortilla, olive oil , to brush on the tortilla for grilling

chicken breast for every 2 people being served. i usually use boneless/skinless for this unless i am going to cook them over a wood fire. then i would use skin on and bone in, thick cut bacon (apple smoked or maple will add another flavor level). choose a bacon that you love the taste of., amounts of the vegetable you use depend upon how many people you are feeding . for only 2 i would use 1/2 of each color of bell pepper for example. for 8 i would probably use a whole or nearly whole bell pepper., red, green, yellow, orange bell peppers, cored , seeds removed, sliced into strips., vidalia onions (sweet and mild ) or red onions (zing) cut into strips, yellow and green squash cut slightly thick then in half, asparagus cut into 1 1/2 inch bites, grape tomatoes, garlic cloves left whole for now, mushrooms (your favorite type , of course!), fresh green beans, broccoli and cauliflower can be used too; but make them bite sized pieces, olive oil (have at least a cup or two available depending on how many you are cooking for. you need this to roast the vegetables and for making your croutons!), day old french or italian bread cut up into good sized bites, bigger than what would come in a box of croutons, i cut it up 1 1/2 to 2 inches., fresh grated parmesan or romano cheese, garlic granules , fresh cracked pepper, italian seasonings...or fresh marjoram, basil and thyme, (cut up the basil into small bits), some times i ll add some peas and corn to this as well. also optional would be a couple of boiled eggs..., kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper (white pepper could be added, but it is going to add a significant jolt in the heat/pepper pop department!)

this earthy-tasting , full-flavored pork and hominy stew originated in mexico, although it is now extremely popular in the american southwest. this stew is typically accompanied by an assortment of crunchy toppings (each in a small bowl) and warm tortillas. verde means green in spanish and green pozole, not surprisingly, is lighter and more refreshing than red pozole. green pozole is prepared with lots of cilantro, fresh jalapenos, and tomatillos. these ingredients are cooked for a very short time; the flavors are bigger, brighter, and fresher than pozole with red sauce. a slightly different set of garnishes accompanies green pozole as well: diced tomato, diced avocado, and minced jalapeno. in other words, forego the cilantro, oregano, and ancho chile puree garnishes suggested for pozole rojo., stew, bone-in pork picnic shoulder roast , (about 5 lb), salt and ground black pepper, vegetable oil, onions , chopped coarse (about 3 cups), garlic cloves , minced or pressed through a garlic press (about 5 tsp), chopped fresh oregano leaves , or 1 tsp dried mexican oregano, low-sodium chicken broth, hominy , white or yellow, drained and rinsed, verde sauce, tomatillos , husked, washed, and quartered, jalapeno chiles (medium) , stemmed, seeded, and chopped coarse, onion , chopped coarse, water, fresh cilantro leaves and stems (about 5 cups), limes , cut into quarters, head romaine lettuce , sliced crosswise into thin strips, radishes , sliced thin, onion , minced, fresh cilantro leaves , roughly chopped, fresh oregano , or dried mexican oregano, chopped, corn or flour tortillas , warmed

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
