Risotto Milanese
Submitted By: 
Recipe Type: Side
 
Ingredients
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion, cut into ¼-inch dice
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 cups Carnaroli or Arborio rice
  • 2 large pinches saffron
  • 3 to 4 cups chicken stock, kept HOT
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ to ¾ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Instructions
  1. Coat a large saucepan generously with olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and salt and sweat them until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Add the rice and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, letting the rice slightly stick to the bottom of the pan and scraping it off. It should also sound crackly.
  3. Add the saffron to the hot chicken stock; the stock should turn bright yellow.
  4. Add the wine to the pan until it covers the surface of the rice. Season with salt and cook over a medium-high heat, stirring continuously until the wine has absorbed into the rice.
  5. Add the saffron chicken stock to the pan until it covers the rice. Cook over a medium-high heat, stirring continuously until the stock has absorbed into the rice.
  6. Repeat this process two more times with the hot saffron chicken stock. When the third addition of the stock has absorbed and the rice is very creamy, bite a couple grains of rice to be sure it is cooked perfectly. If it is still a little crunchy, add a little more stock and cook the rice for another couple of minutes. When the rice is cooked perfectly, remove it from the heat.
  7. Toss in the butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano and “whip the heck out of it.” The rice should be creamy but still flow and hold its own shape.

Refried Beans
Submitted By: 
Recipe Type: Side
 
Ingredients
  • 2 c pinto beans(wash and sort; place beans in a crock pot and cover the beans with about 6 c water and soak overnight with ½ t salt and 1 clove of garlic)
  • ¼ chopped onion
  • 2-3 T bacon grease
  • Monterrey jack cheese grated, or your favorite cheese
Instructions
  1. After the beans have soaked overnight, turn the crock pot on high until the water starts to boil.
  2. Reduce the temperature and maintain a medium boil. I boil these all day long(8-10 hrs) until they start to fall apart. When this starts to happen, remove most of the excess water and reserve in a bowl.
  3. At this point, the beans should mash pretty easy with a potato masher.
  4. After they are mashed, heat bacon grease and saute chopped onion until tender.
  5. Add mashed beans, and fry. If they dry out to fast, you can add some of the leftover juice.
  6. Salt and pepper to taste.
