Saffron rice with chicken/apple sausage; brussels sprouts.


message 3210: by Scout (new)

Scout (goodreadscomscout) | 3598 comments I have so many questions. Do you buy saffron and cook the rice, or is this something you buy already cooked? And I've never heard of apple sausage. Is it sausage flavored with apple? Apple flavored with sausage? And how are the brussels sprouts prepared? I know it's a lot.

Do you have a rice cooker or do you know how to cook rice the old fashioned way?

The saffron is cooked in with the rice. A cheaper and equally tasty alternative is to use turmeric in the rice. A little olive oil mixed in with the rice frees more of the flavor of either saffron or turmeric and helps hold it into the rice. Some people use a rice bran oil.

Apple sausage is just a sausage that has apple mixed in during the grind and may or may not be applewood smoked.

Brussel Sprouts can be boiled, steamed, pressure cooked, sauteed, baked . . .

If they are large as in over an inch and half in length or diameter cut them in half lengthwise prior to cooking. Garlic butter is a classic prepartion for flavoring if the Sprouts are strong. Personally I like them boiled or steamed and then dipped in aioli or a flavored mustard.

Happy Holidays to you, Cynthia.

I have what the internet calls a cheeseburger quiche in the oven, although I'm not really a fan of that name. Ground beef, onion, and parmesan is what's in it. Midway through the prep I spilled my beaten egg/milk mixture all over the counter. Oh well, as the Bible says, you win some, you lose some.


message 3241: by CD (new)

CD  | 1577 comments Boneless skinned chicken breasts wrapped in applewood smoked bacon. Rice and asparagus.

Now to figure out dessert amid the 'Holiday Cheer'.

Homemade deep dish pizza. Not entirely successful, too liquidy.


message 3243: by evie (new)

The leftovers will be my lunch tomorrow.

Cynthia Paschen | 7333 comments I am now officially an Iowan. I bought half a hog from a local farmer who I met at the farmer's market. So far it is wonderful, but I will be looking for recipes for pork, if anyone has a favorite. This weekend we had some pork steaks from the grill with a red wine marinade. Delicious.

Friday I used a package of chorizo to fix tacos. Yum.

About 100 pounds. Some of it is fat, bones and organs, which I hope to turn into suet for the birds and dog treats for a friend.
