Risotto with butternut Squash and saffron

So Dorothy asked for a good Risotto recipe. Here is one of my favorites I stole from Ms. Barefoot herself. It's a-ma-zing (but only if you cook it right and use homemade stock!)

Ingredients:

1 butternut squash (2 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cups Dan's chicken stock (recipe below)
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
2 ounces pancetta, diced (you can usually get this from any Italian deli)
1/2 cup minced shallots (2 large)
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon saffron threads
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (please, for the love of GOD, don't use Kraft)

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Peel the butternut squash, remove the seeds, and cut it into 3/4-inch cubes. You should have about 6 cups. Place the squash on a sheet pan and toss it with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing once, until very tender. Set aside.

Meanwhile, heat the chicken stock in a small covered saucepan. Leave it on low heat to simmer.

In a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and saute the pancetta and shallots on medium-low heat for 10 minutes, until the shallots are translucent but not browned. Add the rice and stir to coat the grains with butter. Add the wine and cook for 2 minutes. Add 2 full ladles of stock to the rice plus the saffron, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir, and simmer until the stock is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes. Continue to add the stock, 2 ladles at a time, stirring every few minutes. Each time, cook until the mixture seems a little dry, then add more stock. Continue until the rice is cooked through, but still al dente, about 30 minutes total. Off the heat, add the roasted squash cubes and Parmesan cheese. Mix well and serve.

Dan's Chicken Stock

Ingredients:

15 lbs of chicken parts or 3 to 4 carcasses from the butcher (go ask your butcher for the neck and back of any bird, they will usually give them away)
3 large yellow onions, unpeeled and quartered
6 carrots, unpeeled and halved
4 stalks celery with leaves, cut into thirds
4 parsnips, unpeeled and cut in half
20 sprigs fresh parsley
15 sprigs fresh thyme
20 sprigs fresh dill
1 head garlic, unpeeled and cut in 1/2 crosswise
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns

Directions:
Ok kids, it doesn't get much easier than this. Place the chickens, onions, carrots, celery, parsnips, parsley, thyme, dill, garlic, and seasonings in a 16 to 20-quart stockpot. (the bigger the better as they say) Add 7 quarts of water (there are four cups in a quart. I was never good at math, so you can do it)and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, for 4 hours. Strain the entire contents of the pot through a colander and discard the solids. Chill the stock overnight. The next day, remove the surface fat. Use immediately or pack in containers and freeze.
Here's a good tip on freezing your stock that I learned from Ms. Stewart herself... take some muffin tins, place it on a cookie sheet and fill with the stock. Freeze overnight. Remove the stock from the tin and place in a freezer ziploc bag with the date. Each tin is usually a half a cup. This way, when you need it for gravy or whatever, you know exactly how much you need to thaw out to use! Usually stock stays good in a freezer for three to four months. It usually doesn't last that long anyhow. Voila! There you have it. Now you can tell Swanson to kiss it!

Damn! I guess Jakey really is straight! (sigh)

Guest Blogger Recipe: Jennifer Curran

Hey There. I'm starting a Guest Blogger Reicpe Series. First up is one of my best friends, Jennifer Curran. She's sharing a delish recipe for Black Bean and Sweet Potato Enchilades. Go visit her blog at Growingupgranby@blogspot.com



Black Bean and Sweet Potato Enchiladas

Ingredients:

8 corn tortillas (may be substituted for whole wheat)
2 medium sweet potatoes or yams, cooked and cut into cubes (you can choose to peel or leave peels on)
1 can black beans
1 yellow onion, diced
1-10 jalapenos, seeded and diced (choose according to how spicy hot you want these)
1 – 2 cloves garlic, minced or chopped finely (unless you love garlic like me – then go for 3 or 4 cloves!)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon chile powder
1 Tablespoon olive oil

Guacomole (optional):

2 – 3 Hass Avocados, ripe and soft to the squeeze
1 lemon
Chile powder to taste
Season salt, Adobo or Mrs. Dash to taste

Directions for Guac:
Cut the avocados in half and scoop out the delicious insides into a bowl. Toss skin and pit. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice in there, a few dashes of chile powder and your favorite seasoning (I use Adobo). Stir it up until its, uh, well, guacamole! Taste and see if you need more chile powder. For this dish, I go a bit spicy!

Directions:

1. Saute the onions in olive oil until clear, then add garlic.

2. After onions and garlic are softened, add everything else and cook down until everything starts to thicken-up nicely.

3. Heat the tortillas on a dry griddle, or nuke for a minute to soften (keeps them from tearing when rolled).

4. Spread the inside of the tortilla with some guacamole if you like, then spoon filling on tortillas, and roll.

5. You can spread a bit of the filling or guacamole under the edge to really seal these up nicely.

6. or added American effect, you may place your enchiladas on baking dish (spray with cooking spray first!), seam side down and cover with a favorite salsa. You can add a slice of Veggie Slices “cheese” or sprinkle with Veggie Shreds.

7. Bake in a 400 degree oven until everything is hot.


(I hear that Corona Light might go really nicely with this.)

Dan's Homemade Fries to go with the Parmesan Chicken Sticks Below.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 pounds baking potatoes
1 teaspoon vegetable oil or olive oil based on your tastes
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper
* cayenne is optional, just gives it a little bite. If you don't like cayenne, cut down the salt to 1/2 tsp and add a 1/2 tsp of garlic salt to them. Very good!

Directions:
1.Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil, and coat well with vegetable cooking spray. Scrub potatoes well and cut into 1/2 inch thick fries.

2.In a large mixing bowl, toss potatoes with oil, sugar, salt and red pepper. Spread on baking sheet in one layer.

3.Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until potatoes are tender and browned. Serve immediately

Parmesan Chicken Sticks.. something for the kids.

A healthier alternative to those nasty frozen chicken nuggets that are filled with preservatives and other crap. Hint, use freshly grated parmesan cheese. Makes all the difference in the world.
Also, it can't hurt to add a dash of oregno to the bread crumbs.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts (3 to 4)
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 extra-large eggs
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Unsalted butter
Good olive oil
Bamboo skewers (6 to 10 inches long)

Directions:
Lay the chicken breasts on a cutting board and slice each diagonally into 4 or 5 large strips.

Combine the flour, salt, and pepper on a dinner plate. Beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water on a second plate. Combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan on a third plate. Dredge the chicken breasts on both sides in the flour mixture, then dip both sides into the egg mixture and roll in the bread-crumb mixture, pressing lightly to coat.

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saute pan and cook the chicken strips on medium-low heat for about 3 minutes on each side, until just cooked through. Don't crowd the pan. Add more butter and oil and cook the rest of the chicken breasts. Serve each strip on a skewer or stick with dipping sauces. I like honey mustard the best.

Also, you can keep the chicken breasts warm for about 15 minutes on a sheet pan in a preheated 200 degree F oven.

Dan's Precious Pico de Gallo

Ok, here's something easy and amazingly delicious. You guys can serve it with fajitas, quesadillas or just dip some nacho chips (the white kind, please) in there and use it as a salsa for any party or gathering. We had Sophie over for dinner last night and she enjoyed it so much she's making it tonight for another get together she's having. I'm telling you.. it's THAT GOOD! Here it goes...

Ingredients:
4 large tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup chopped scallions (white and green parts)
3 jalapenos, chopped (seeds removed)
2 cloves of garlic, chopped finely (that means small pieces, very small)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (you can use the upper stems, not the bottoms)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
Coarse salt (like sea salt) and freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions
1.In a medium bowl, mix together tomatoes, scallions, jalapenos, garlic, cilantro, oregano, and lime juice; season with salt and pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for an hour and a half to two hours and then serve. Make sure you let it sit. It gets so much better after 90 minutes.

Spice Rubbed Broiled Pork Chops

I made this the other week for Pierre and I. Not only is it healthy, but so delicious and very easy and very quick. Place the chop on top of the beans drizzled with lemon. So yummy.
You can also service it with some rice. I prefer jasmine over plain white. Brown is ultimately the best for you, though.

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp unpacked brown sugar
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
4 lean boneless pork chop, 1/2-inch thick chops
1 pound(s) green beans, steamed
1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions
Preheat broiler and coat broiler pan with cooking spray.


In a small bowl, combine chili powder, sugar, cumin and garlic powder. Add Worcestershire sauce and stir until paste forms.


Rub paste onto both sides of each pork chop, place on prepared pan and broil 4 minutes on each side until inside is no longer pink.


Serve with string beans drizzled with fresh lemon juice.

Braised Chicken With Shallots

I will be cooking this on Sunday. Looks absolutely delicious. I'll let you know how it comes out.

5 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
Fresh tarragon leaves, for garnish (optional)

Directions
1.Season chicken with salt and pepper; coat with flour, shaking off excess.

2.In a Dutch oven or 5-quart pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat oil over medium-high. Cook chicken until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove; set aside.

3.Add shallots and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add wine; cook until evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in mustard and 1 1/2 cups water; bring to a boil.

4.Return chicken, bone side down, to pot. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until chicken is tender and cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; loosely tent with aluminum foil to keep warm. Add tomatoes to pot; season with salt and pepper. Cook on high until sauce has thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and return chicken to pot; cook until heated through. Serve, garnished with tarragon, if desired.
