Cookbook:Aj de Gallina
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Cuisine of Peru
Aj de Gallina
Aj de Gallina (Spanish for chili pepper chicken) is a traditional Peruvian dish which has its roots in the social upheaval of the French Revolution in 1789.[1] Chefs working for wealthy families lost their jobs after French aristocrats were imprisoned and executed. Some of these chefs travelled to the New World, including Peru, bringing with them French culinary expertise. Wealthy Peruvian creole families hired them to demonstrate their wealth to the ruling Spaniards. The fusion of local cuisines with French cooking traditions led to many new recipes, including aj de gallina. This is a shredded chicken dish in a spicy sauce flavored with cheese, garlic, nuts and Peruvian chili peppers.[2] Peruvians love eating this dish on cold days.
Ingredients
1300g (4 lb) chicken 120ml ( cup) of olive oil 1 large finely chopped onion 8 cloves of minced garlic 3 hot yellow South American chilis (seeds and filaments removed): Adjust quantity for individual taste. Salt and pepper to taste 1 chicken stock cube loaf of bread 110g ( lb) of chopped pecans 110g (4 ounces) grated Parmesan cheese 1 can evaporated milk 1.6 kg (3.5 lbs) boiled rice (tasted with chopped garlic and salt) 4 hard boiled eggs 6 potatoes 120g ( cup) black olives
Cookbook:Aj de Gallina
Preparation
1. Boil chicken in salted water together with the stock cube. Remove bones and break into bite size pieces, keeping the resulting chicken stock. 2. In a saucepan, heat oil and saut the onion, garlic, and finely chopped chili peppers and add salt and pepper. Fry this until the onions are cooked and golden. 3. Soak the bread in two cups of the stock from the boiled chicken and place in a blender for a couple of minutes and then add the resulting liquid to the saucepan. 4. Cook slowly for ten minutes. Cook slowly, stirring to thicken. 5. While the Aj de Gallina is cooking slowly, boil the rice: first fry the garlic for a couple of seconds, then add the rice and the salt, then add the water. When the water starts to boil, let te rice cook in a closed pot very slowly for about 20 minutes or until the water has completely evaporated (hint: to cook "peruvian" rice: cook a cup of rice in two cups of water) 6. Back to the Aj de Gallina: add the chopped pecans, grated cheese, and chicken pieces. Cook until it has a thick creamy texture. About five minutes before serving, add the evaporated milk and continue cooking on low heat. 7. Serve over the boiled rice and garnish with halved potatoes, eggs quartered lengthwise, and olives.

Arroz con pollo (rice with chicken) is a traditional dish that's common throughout Latin America especially in Cuba, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic. However, it resembles paella, a Spanish dish, both in its ingredients and cooking technique, and may very well be a New World adaptation of it. Common ingredients for arroz con pollo include rice, vegetables, fresh herbs and chicken.
Ingredients
A three to four pound chicken cut into serving pieces salt and pepper to taste olive oil 4 cloves of fresh, minced garlic 1 medium onion, chopped 8 oz diced red bell pepper 1 can (15 ounce) diced tomatoes 1/2 tablespoon sweet paprika 1/2 oz chopped cilantro 6 cups chicken bouillon a handful of cilantro 8 saffron threads or 1 teaspoon food coloring for yellow rice 2 cups medium or long-grain rice 8 oz canned peas (thoroughly drained)
Procedure
1. Season the chicken with two pinches of salt and a pinch of pepper. 2. Pour enough olive oil into a large skillet to just barely cover the bottom. 3. Saut chicken in oil until brown. There are two ways to proceed from here: Either remove the chicken from the skillet or keep it there. 4. Saut garlic until brown. Be careful, garlic burns easily. 5. Add the onion, bell pepper, tomatoes and paprika. Saut until the vegetables are tender. 6. Transfer the ingredients to a large stewing pot. 7. Add the cilantro, bouillon and saffron (or food coloring). Bring to a rolling boil.
Cookbook:Arroz con Pollo 8. Add the rice and mix well. Simmer over medium heat until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Add more broth or water if the liquid evaporates before the rice is cooked. 9. Add the chicken to the pot (if you removed it previously) and cover it with rice. Wait two to three minutes to allow the chicken to warm. 10. Sprinkle peas on top of the rice.

Arroz Negro
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Cuisine of Spain | Rice Recipes Arroz negro or arrs negre (black rice in Spanish and Catalan respectively) is a Valencian dish of cuttlefish (or squid) and rice which is very similar to seafood paella. In fact, some call it paella negra (black paella in Spanish). Arroz negro should not be confused with black rice, the collective name for several types of rice that have a naturally dark color. The traditional recipe for this dish calls for squid ink, cuttlefish or squid, rice, garlic, green cubanelle peppers, sweet paprika, olive oil and seafood broth. However, many cooks add other seafood as well, such as crab and shrimp. The dish's dark color comes from the ink which also enhances its seafood flavor. In addition to Valencia, this dish is popular in Cuba and Puerto Rico where on both islands it's known as arroz con calamares (rice with squid in Spanish). The below recipe[1] is based on the one by Juanry Segu, a prominent Valencian chef.

A stove large enough to accomodate the size of the paellera (You'll have to straddle two burners at once and rotate the paellera periodically for even cooking.) 2. A gas burne designed specifically for paelleras 3. A charcoal barbecue 4. A low, forged steel to support the paellera
Cookbook:Arroz Negro
Recipe
Please read Paella cooking techniques before attempting this recipe.
Ingredients
Paella 3 pounds diced squid 1 pounds green cubanelle peppers 6 cloves of minced garlic 2 cups Valencian rice 3 teaspoons squid ink 1 tablespoon sweet paprika 1 tablespoon sea salt olive oil
Broth 8 oz crab 8 oz smelt or fish heads 1 medium onion 1 medium green or red bell pepper 3 cloves of garlic 2 bay leaves 1 gallon of water
Procedure
Broth 1. Cut one onion and one bell pepper into quarters and place in a large pot with the rest of the broth ingredients. 2. Boil for about 30 minutes. Occasionally press the ingredients against the bottom of the pot with a potato masher or ladle to squeeze out their flavors. 3. Strain the broth and set aside. Discard the boiled seafood. Tip: To save time, start preparaing the paella once the broth starts boiling. Paella 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Pour enough oil into a paellera to cover the bottom and heat over a medium flame. Add one teaspoon of salt to cubanelles and saut until soft. Add squid and saut for two minutes. Add garlic and saut until brown (be careful not to burn). Add rice and braise until coated with oil. Add paprika and saut for no more than 15 seconds then quickly add four cups of broth to prevent the paprika from burning. 7. Add squid ink and mix well. 8. Bring broth to a boil and then simmer for two minutes. 9. Taste the broth and invite your dinner guests to do so as well. If it tastes bland, add one teaspoon of salt at a time until everybody approves. 10. Add the rice.
Cookbook:Arroz Negro 11. Begin tasting the rice after it's been simmering for about 20 minute and reduce the heat a bit. Make sure the rice doesn't get too soft. Check the rice again every 10 minutes and reduce the heat slightly after each taste. Your goal is to wind up with rice that has a slightly underdone center. The time it takes to reach this point can vary from 30 minutes to an hour depending on your cooking gear. 12. Your paella is done once you've accomplished the following three things: A) The rice should be slightly firm to the bite. Italians use the same approach when cooking pasta. They call this texture al dente. B) The paella should be a little moist but not soupy. C) You should have a bit of toasted rice on the bottom of the paellera. This is considered a delicacy throughout the Spanish-speaking world. 13. Remove the paellera from the heat and cover it with a white towel (NOT ALUMINUM FOIL). Allow it to sit for five minutes before serving.

Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Korean Cuisine Bibimbap (also called Bibimba or Bibimbop) or Dolsot Bibimbap is a typical Korean meal that literally means "mixed rice" The meal consists of a bowl of steamed white rice topped with vegetables, beef (sometimes tofu or chicken to suit tastes), a whole egg, and kochujang (Korean chili pepper paste). Kochujang is usually served separately to control the spiciness of the dish. It is often made vegetarian by substituting tofu for beef. The ingredients below are the most typical of the dish although many other ingredients and often served on the side depending on the cooks preferences. The quantity shown serves 3. If your bowls are large, you can pack more into each and share them.
Cookbook:Bibimbap

Overview
Start the rice cooking in a rice cooker or pot. While the rice is cooking make the namurus (side dishes). Then make the beef soboro. Finally, assemble the ingredients in the bowls and cook them. Grate the garlic and grind the sesame seeds for all the namurus as once. Sesame seeds expand when ground; 2 or 3 tablespoons of sesame seeds will make cup of ground sesame seeds.
Carrot Namul
Ingredients 2 small carrots 2 tbsp sesame oil 2 tbsp ground sesame seeds tsp grated garlic a pinch or two of salt
Procedure Cut the carrots into matchsticks. Boil in salted water for a few minutes covered. Drain. Rinse with cold water until cool. drain again, then put in a bowl. Add the sesame oil, ground sesame seeds, grated garlic, and salt. Mix with your fingers.
Spinach Namul
Ingredients 10 oz spinach 1 tbsp sesame oil 2 tsp ground sesame seeds tsp grated garlic
Procedure Put the spinach in a large covered pot with an inch of water. Bring to a boil and cook as usual. Stir occasionally to keep the spinach from sticking to the pot. The spinach is done when it's dark green and reduced to a small fraction of its original volume. Drain the cooked spinach. Cool by adding cold water to the pot and drain again. Squeeze the spinach in your hands to remove the water. Slice the cooked spinach into 1-inch pieces. Put the cooked spinach in a bowl with the sesame oil, ground sesame seeds, and grated garlic. Mix with your fingers.
Procedure Blanche the bean sprouts in a pot of salt water until they become clear. Drain and put the cooked sprouts in a bowl. Dress with sesame oil, ground sesame seeds, grated garlic, and salt.
Cookbook:Bibimbap

Beef Soboro
Ingredients 1 tbsp olive oil (peanut, vegetable, etc) 1 lb steak c soy sauce 1 tbsp sesame oil 1 tbsp ground sesame seeds tsp grated garlic
Procedure Slice the steak thinly, but not paper-thin. Heat the oil in a large frying pan on high. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, add the beef. Stir-fry. While the beef is cooking, add the sesame oil, ground sesame seeds, and grated garlic. Cook until the meat is well browned. Add the soy sauce. Continue cooking until the liquid has boiled off.
Egg Topping
Cook eggs over easy to your own personal preference.
Serving
Place rice in each bowl and add ingredients separately to sit on top in a color pleasing setting along with the chopped uncooked cucumbers. The egg sits in the middle. kochujang, kimchi and any other root or leafy vegetable is served on the side in small individual bowls for the table to help themselves.
Dolsot Bibimbap
If using dolsots to serve your Bibimbap the preparation is slightly different as it is a hot version of the meal so the process will heat the vegetables again. Rub the inside of the dolsots with sesame oil. Spread the cooked rice evenly over the bottom of the dolsots and part way up the sides. Place the namurus and the beef soboro on top of the rice, each in its own area. Cover the dolsots and cook over medium-high heat. Watch carefully near the end to avoid burning the rice on the bottom. To test, use a spoon to scrape the rice from the side. Remember that the bottom cooks more than the sides and that the rice keeps cooking after you remove it from the heat. Do no preheat the dolsots. Add an uncooked egg to the middle of each dolsot. Place dolsots on small pieces of wood to keep the heat from damaging the table. To eat, start by scraping the rice from the bottom and stirring the ingredients together with a metal spoon. The egg will cook as it breaks up. The rice on the bottom will be crunchy and sometimes hard to remove unless you continue stirring as you eat.

Alternative Ingredients
Vegetables that can be served on the side (in small individual bowls) include lettuce (instead of cucumber), Shitake Mushrooms, Duraji Namul, Kong Namul, Gaji Namul, Sukju Namul, Gosari Namul, and Hobak Namul. Other ingredients like dried sesame seeds, seaweed (gim: dried in paper thin sheets and often seasoned) are added to the mix at varying times, depending on personal taste.

As pan heats slowly add cooked rice (watch for splattering of hot oil). When rice is heated evenly add Teriyaki Sauce and mix it evenly. 4. When ground turkey is done cooking add it to rice in wok, mix it thoroughly and serve.

Cookbook:Coconut chicken
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes On a recent trip to the Caribbean I was impressed by all the roadside Barbecue stops that spring up on weekends, where you can buy, very cheaply, a portion of chicken, usually in a good, if rather sticky barbecue sauce, to take away and eat on a wonderful beach somewhere! I jokingly suggested to one enterprising young man, that he also offer chicken marinaded in coconut, herbs and spices as an alternative. He tried it and told me that evening that he had had almost more customers for this recipe, than for his barbecued chicken. It may become all the rage in the future !! It certainly is delicious!
Ingredients
chicken legs, breast or wings - skin on is best - sufficient for the number of people you are cooking for. The Marinade 1 400 ml tin of coconut milk the zest and juice of a lime 1 bunch of fresh mint, chopped a large sprinkle of paprika pinch of salt 1 small knob of fresh ginger grated 1 cupful of basmati rice per person 10 g butter for the rice (optional) 3 cloves
Procedure
1. Stab the chicken in various places to a depth of about inch so that they take on the taste from the marinade. 2. Mix all the contents of the marinade together in a dish and place the chicken into it so that the chicken is covered by the marinade. Leave - turning occasionally - for at least 3 hours, or overnight is possible (i.e.- the longer the better) 3. Place the chicken pieces on a barbecue, an electric grill or even in the oven, and cook until done, making sure, as they cook, you coat the chicken with plenty of the marinade as you go along. You should aim for a nice crispy skin.
The Rice
1. In a large saucepan bring to the boil some salted water, and add the cloves. Put in one cupful of Basmati rice per person and boil until the rice is cooked. Rinse under HOT water (to take out any accumulated starch), take out the cloves and discard, and return the rice to the pan and place on a low heat. Add about 1/2 cupful of the coconut marinade mixture (or any leftover coconut milk from the tin) to the rice, and heat through slowly. 1. Add the butter (this is optional) at the last minute and let it melt. If there is any left over, also add a handful of the chopped mint leaves to the rice as well 2. Fluff up the rice with a fork and place in the middle of your serving plate, place the grilled/barbecued chicken on top, sprinkle with a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and serve with a green salad. Exquisite !! 3. You can roast some bananas in the same oven to go with this - either in their skins, or in foil with a little cinnamon! Bon Appetit, Wikibookies

Dosa
Category Time
Fermented food recipes soak: 6-8 hours prep: 10 minutes ferment: 12-48hours cook: 5 minutes each dosa
Difficulty
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Indian Cuisine A dosa is a thin, spicy, crispy crpe-like food made from fermented rice, very popular in restaurants in South India. It may be served plain with sambar and chutneys such as coconut chutney (as pictured), or other curry or gravy. When served with potato folded inside, it is known as masala dosa. To make omelette dosa, simply pour beaten egg on the dosa before it is turned over. The procedure for making dosa starts out almost identical to that for making idli. The idli recipe in this cookbook has some very good tips and variations that apply equally to dosai.
First Variation
Ingredients
3 cups white rice 1 cup urad dal (black gram) handful of cooked rice (if required) pinch of sugar (if desired) teaspoon salt
Procedure
Batter 1. 2. 3. 4. Put the rice and dal in a large pot and wash twice. Fill with water until submerged by 2 inches. Soak for 6 hours. Grind in a blender, water and all, for 30 minutes. If the weather is cold, grind in a handful of rice and a pinch of sugar to help in fermentation. 5. Let ferment overnight in a warm place. Make sure the pot is twice as large as the amount of batter, as it will rise a great deal. 6. Add salt; at this point the batter can be kept in the refrigerator for more than a week until you wish to fry the dosas.
Cookbook:Dosa Dosas 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Heat a tava (large flat pan) or griddle over a high flame. Sprinkle water on the pan to cool it a little. Pour cup batter in the middle of the pan, depending on preferred thickness and crispiness. Spread the batter with the back of a spoon, starting from the centre and spiralling outwards until the dosa is about 10 inches across and very thin. Sprinkle a little oil around the edges of the dosa. Cover until the dosa shows brown through the thinnest parts. Turn the dosa around on its back and allow it to cook for a few seconds. Fold in half and remove with a metal spatula.
36
Makes 1015.
Second Variation
Preparation
Makes about 20 2 cups (360 g) rice, preferably parboiled 1/2 cup (90 g) split and husked urad dal ('dhuli urad') 1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds (methi dana) 2 tsp salt Oil for cooking doshas
Method 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Soak rice, dal, and fenugreek seeds together overnight. Grind these ingredients together to a very smooth consistency. Add the salt and enough water to make into a dropping consistency, and leave to rise for 5-6 hours, or overnight. Check consistency of the batter, and if needed, add enough water to make into a smooth pouring consistency. Heat tava (dosa pan) very hot, splash a little water over it, and with a ladle, immediately pour some batter onto it, spreading it thin, with a circular motion, without pressing too hard. (You will need some practice to get it right). 6. Lower the heat and dribble a little oil around the edges. When edges start browning a bit, it is almost done. 7. Turn the dosa around on its back and allow it to cook for a few seconds. 8. Add desired filling and fold over.
Filling Potatoes: 6 Medium Sized, Boiled and coarsely mashed Onions: 2 Medium Sized, Finely chopped Green Chili Pepper: 3 to 6, Finely Chopped
Cookbook:Dosa Ginger: 1 Tsp, finely grated Garlic: 1 Tsp, finely grated Oil: 2 Tbsp Mustard Seeds: Tsp Cilantro: 1 TBS, finely chopped Chana Dal: 1 Tsp Turmeric: 1 Tsp Curry Leaves: 1 Tsp, coarsely chopped Onion Chutney Coconut Chutney
37
Preparation Method
Batter On the day before, grind all the ingredients in a blender or specialized dosa grinder with water. The final consistency of the batter must be similar to pancake batter. Leave it overnight in a warm spot and allow it to ferment. This is a very important process and must not be skipped. During fermentation the batter may rise to almost twice its volume and therefore the container for the batter must allow for this. Chutneys Prepare the two chutneys as described in Onion Chutney and Coconut Chutney Filling In a wok or other deep vessel heat the oil. When the oil is hot add the mustard seeds and allow it to splutter. When spluttering starts to recede add the chopped green chilies, curry leaves and the channa dal. Stir until the channa dal turns brown. (Be careful as channa dal can go from browned to burnt within seconds). Add the onions and fry until browned and add turmeric and stir for 2 minutes. Add ginger and garlic and stir it in for a few seconds. Add the boiled and coarsely mashed potatoes into the mix and fold well. Turn off the heat and add lemon juice and the coriander leaves. Fold well.
Making a Dosa
Dosai can easily be made on a tava, iron frying pan or non-stick pan. Heat the pan on a medium heat until a drop of water evaporates on contact. Spread about 1/2 cup of batter on the pan (like pancakes) slowing spreading it outwards forming a thin, flat circular dosa. Allow it cook for a minute and using a flat, sharp spatula flip it over. As the other side cooks spread a layer of ghee-shortening mixture on the topside. Flip it over again. As the bottom crisps add a Tsp of the onion chutney on the top and spread it evenly. Add some of the filling onto one half of the dosa and fold the other side over. Serve with coconut chutney.

Cookbook:Fried Rice
43
Procedure
Prepare Ingredients
1. If using tofu, cook it. 2. Cook the rice as you normally would, but be careful not to use too much water. The rice should not be too sticky. It may help to let the cooked rice sit overnight in the refrigerator. 3. If using onions, dice them into whatever size you prefer. 4. If using bok choy, separate the stalk part from the leaf part. Slice the leaf part crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick strips, then tear the strips into 2-inch pieces. These pieces will be treated much like the bean sprouts, though perhaps with slightly more cooking. The stalk part will be treated as celery. 5. If using bean sprouts, wash them and discard any that are not white and crunchy. 6. If using meat, slice into desired sized pieces and cook.
Cooking
1. Add a generous amount of oil to a large frying pan, more than you think you'd need to avoid sticking. If using kielbasa, not as much oil may be needed because of the amount of fat. 2. Add the rice. Cook over the stove on medium high to high heat. 3. Add the soy sauce, meat(s), eggs, and all vegetables save for the onions and bean sprouts. 4. Add pepper, a pinch or two of sugar, and optionally some added salt. 5. Add the tofu, bean sprouts, and onion when the rice is almost done (depending on how fried you want them) being careful not to overcook them.

Wet the inside of the other end of the nori and press over the first end. The nori will stick together this way.
Common gunkanmakis
Uni (sea urchin) roe (eggs): roll sushi rice in nori. Cut into serving sizes and stand up, add sea urchin roe on the top of each piece. Quail egg: Form a small nugget of sushi rice. The nugget should be approximately 1-1/4 inches long and 3/4 inches wide and 0.5 inches high (3.2 cm x 1.9 cm x 1.3 cm). Take a piece of nori and cut it into a strip approximately 1-1/4 inches wide (3.2 cm) and 4.5 inches long (11.5 cm). Roll the nugget in the nori. The nori should create a band around the circumference of the nugget. The band will be taller than the nugget and will thus form a cup-shape, where the nugget is the base of the cup and the nori is the sides of the cup. Fill one side of the cup with fish roe (orange fish eggs) and fill the other side of the cup with one quail egg. Serve and enjoy.

Cookbook:Hyderabad Biryani
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Cuisine of India Hyderabadi Biryani is a popular variety of Biryani. The Hyderabadi Biryani is so named as it is seen mainly in the city of Hyderabad, India. The blending of mughlai and Andhra cuisines in the kitchen of the Nizam (leader of the historical Hyberabad state), resulted in a dish called the Hyderabad Biryani. It, like other biryanis, is made using Basmati rice which is only found on the Indian subcontinent. The spices and other ingredients remain the same, however the method of preparation involves more time. It is usually accompanied with Dahi ki Chutney, Raita (a yogurt dish) or Mirchi ka Salan. There are 2 styles of preparing this variety. The Katchi Biryani is prepared with the Katchi Yakhni method (with raw gravy). The raw meat is marinated in curd and cooked only by the dum, or the baking process, which is done with rice. This is a challenging process as it requires meticulously measured time and heat to avoid overcooking or undercooking the meat. In Pakki Biryani, where the meat is cooked with all the accompanying spices and then the rice is simmered with the resultant gravy redolent of mace, ittar and kewra in a sealed vessel with saffron and cardamom. It is accompanied by side dishes like Mirchi ka Salan, Dhansak and Bagara Baingan. The meat used in the preparation is usually mutton, beef - popularly called Kalyani Biryani - or, less frequently, chicken. There is also a vegetarian version of the Hyderabadi Biryani in which the place of the meat is taken by a mixture of vegetables such as carrots, peas, cauliflower and potato. The vegetarian version is called 'tarkari' biryani. The Hyderabadi Biryani version of the mixed Vegetable Biryani is the "Tahiri".
Ingredients
1 kg chicken preferably in 16 pieces and a couple of drumsticks 1 kg Basmati rice 1 cup finely chopped onions 2 tsp ginger and garlic paste 3 tsp chilli powder tsp turmeric 100 g cashew nuts 4 or 5 bay leaves 4 or 5 cloves 2 cm long cinnamon sticks 6 to 10 green chiles ground to paste 3 or 4 cardamom pods 1 or 2 tsp cumin 2 cups mint leaves 1 cup coriander leaves (cilantro) 2 tsp coriander powder tsp garam masala powder 1 cup coconut milk 1 lemon 1 tsp salt (according to taste) 1 cup ghee (clarified butter)
Cookbook:Hyderabad Biryani 2 tsp dried coconut powder, few strands of saffron, 2 cups finely sliced onions,
51
Procedure
1. Make deep incisions on the chicken flesh - deep enough for spices to get absorbed but making them too deep could render the pieces smaller. Mix turmeric, chilli powder, salt, garlic paste, yogurt, and half-lemon's juice. Thoroughly apply this paste onto the meat flesh and let marinate for an hour. 2. Heat about 100 ml of oil. Roast cumin, cloves, cinnamon, depodded cardamom, bay leaves, spoon cumin, 1 spoon coriander powder, and finally add onions(2). Wait a couple of minutes to add mint leaves. When onions turn slight brown, add marinated chicken and cook for about 20-30 min. It should NOT be fully cooked at this stage; add garam masala and coconut powder and turn off flame when about cooked. Gravy should not be much, chicken pieces should look roasted. 3. Meanwhile, while the chicken is still cooking, prepare the biryani rice. Slightly rinse 3 cups of basmati, and add water little less than the volume of the rice itself so that its only half cooked preferably in an electric cooker. Amount of water actually depends on kind of rice at hand and your experience helps to judge it. Also add 1-2 teaspoons of salt to it. Take a few semi-cooked grains of rice and colour them with diluted saffron for garnishing. 4. You will need a utensil of about 12" (300 mm) base. Place about half of semi-cooked rice in it. Next, layer half of chicken on it again topped by a layer of rice (half of the remaining). One more layer of remaining chicken, finally with layer of rest of the rice on top ends the rice-chicken layering stage. 5. Heat oil and deep fry half the sliced onions to golden brown. Similarly fry cashew. Garnish the top layer with these two along with 100 ml ghee, coconut milk, saffron rice grains and coriander. Lid the vessel and try making it airtight (but no pressure should build up). Put on high flame for 5 min before reducing it to low flame. The flame should NOT be at the vessel's centre, but on one side of it. Wait for 2-3 min and turn the vessel to heat other next part on its circumference. This way, keep rotating the vessel every 2-3 min for about 20 min. Every time you turn it, carefully disturb the contents by a shake/jerk so as to avoid settling of ghee at the bottom. 6. Put off the flame and wait for about 10 min before opening. Before serving, mix the medley from the bottom. Serve with boiled egg halves. Enjoy. Rightly and carefully made, its an epicure's paradise.

Idli
Category Time
Fermented food recipes soak: 8-12 hours prep: 10 minutes ferment: 12-24 hours cook: 20 minutes
Idli is a round, fluffy bread roughly eight centimetres in diameter. Idli is made from ground rice or rice flour mixed with ground urad dal, salt, methi (fenugreek seeds) and water. The mixture is allowed to ferment prior to being steamed in an idli steamer. They are traditional to Southern India and are most often eaten with sambar.
Ingredients
1 cups rice 1 cup white urad dal (black gram, skinless) 2 teaspoons non-iodised salt 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds (methi) 4 cups water for soaking rice and urad dal 2 cups chlorine-free water for fermenting (see note) optional: fermentation starter (see note)
Procedure
Making the Batter
1. Soak the rice and urad dal in separate bowls for eight hours. You will need about twice as much water in the bowl as urad dal, as it expands as it soaks up water. 2. Drain the rice and urad dal, discard water (good for watering plants). 3. Grind the urad dal to a fine paste with about 1 cup of chlorine-free water. 4. Grind the rice to a paste with about 1 cup of chlorine-free water, less if you can. Grind coarsely if the batter will only be used for idli, but grind finely if it will later be used for dosa. 5. Mix the rice and urad dal pastes together well, with salt and methi. 6. Optional: add fermentation starter and mix well (see note). 7. Set aside somewhere warm to ferment for 12-24 hours (see note).
Cookbook:Idli
53
1. A traditional stone grinder is recommended for making idlis. The modern high speed mixer with metal blades won't work as well, but a blender will do a reasonable job. 2. Idli is made of black lentil and rice. The southern parts of India use boiled rice, while the rest uses raw rice. It depends on your taste. The black lentil should be the full, round variety. Avoid broken dal. 3. The ratio of black lentil to rice should not exceed 1:2 by volume. If you have good quality dal, you can stretch this ratio by increasing the quantity of rice. 4. Soak dal and rice separately for at least three hours, preferably eight. You can add half a teaspoon of fenugreek (methi) seeds to the dal for a good twist. 5. The rice is typically long grain white rice, but brown rice works well also and adds flavour, colour, and more nutrition. Brown rice needs to be soaked at least eight hours. 6. Use plenty of water for grinding the dal and make it a very smooth paste. But grind the rice coarse and granular. 7. Add salt. Don't be afraid of salt - idli needs a lot of it. 8. Mix the dal and rice batters thoroughly. It takes more time and energy than you might think. Uneven mixing causes many failures. Mixing them by hand works best! 9. A warm temperature is essential for fermentation. 25 to 28 C (77 - 82.4 F) will be ideal. If the weather is cold, keep some warm water in a large bowl and immerse the vessel containing the dough. To help maintain the temperature of the warm water bath, cover it with a blanket, or better, use a regulated heater, like a heating pad or aquarium heater. Even easier, turn on the light in the oven, and use that to keep the batter warm. 10. Allow at least 8 hours to ferment. If you don't see tiny bubbles the next morning, the dough will not rise and you have to start all over again. 11. If you can't get it to ferment by itself, try adding a fermentation starter like a spoonful of commercially prepared idli batter (commercial idli batters sold under refrigeration may have live culture), or a teaspoonful of kefir. Just bread yeast will not make for good flavour, as bacteria are needed also. 12. Use chlorine-free water when grinding, as this will be the water that the batter will have in it when fermenting. Tap water will work, but will inhibit the ferment a little. Most modern water filters remove both chlorine and chloramine. 13. In the morning, gently scoop the top layer of the batter and steam it. DO NOT stir or otherwise break the batter. The trapped bubbles should not escape; they are necessary for sponginess. 14. Steam the idlis in the idli pan. An open stove is preferable over microwave. The vessel should steam like an old locomotive. 15. Steam it for 10 minutes. You know it is done from the characteristic smell. If you are not sure, poke it gently with a spoon and make sure the batter does not stick to the spoon. 16. Allow it to cool for a minute. Sprinkle the idlis liberally with sesame oil and eat them with suitable side dishes, such as chutni, sambaar and idli powder. 17. Leftover batter that has lost its froth can still be used to make dosa.

Cookbook:Italian risotto
Cookbook | Recipes | Ingredients | Italian Cuisine Risotto is a traditional North Italian dish, made with a soft short-grained rice, for example, Arborio rice. This rice has a very high starch content, making for a thick and creamy texture in the finished product. You cannot make a successful risotto using long-grained rice, however hard you try. First the rice is sauteed in olive oil or butter to begin the cooking process, then liquid (stock and/or white wine) is added slowly, stirring continuously. The stirring helps to break down the grains and release more starch. Flavourings can be added either at the start (onions, chopped chicken, etc.) or towards the end (parmasen or grated cheese, spinach etc) depending on how long they need to cook. The actual rice will be cooked in about twenty minutes, making this a fairly quick if labour-intensive dish.

Jambalaya
Jambalaya, one of Louisiana's most famous dishes, is rooted in Spanish and French cuisine and is the New World version of paella. Jambalaya originated in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It was the accidental result of Spaniards attempting to make paella in the New World where saffron was not readily available due to import costs. Consequently, tomatoes became the substitute for saffron.[1] As time went on, French influence became strong in New Orleans, and spices from the Caribbean changed this New World paella into a unique dish. In modern Louisiana, the dish has evolved into many variations but primarily there are two types of Jambalaya: Creole and Cajun. Creole Jambalaya, also called red Jambalaya, is found primarily in and around New Orleans and is made with tomatoes which make it red.[2] Cajun Jambalaya, which has no tomatoes, originated in Louisiana's rural, low-lying swamp country. It has a distinct smokey flavor and brown color, the result of browning the meat in a cast iron pot.[3] Both versions can contain virtually any kind of meat and/or seafood but crayfish (called crawfish in Louisiana) is a popular inclusion.
Cookbook:Jambalaya This famous dish is surprisingly simple to prepare and works well as an everyday meal. The below Creole Jambalaya recipe includes poultry and canned tomatoes.

Prepare the canned tomatoes: tear them up, remove the stem ends, remove the seeds, etc. Keep the juice. Select a wide pan with a lid. Lightly fry the celery in the butter. Soften the celery but do not brown it. Add everything to the pan. You can add the basil, meat and mushrooms later if you prefer. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. The rice will absorb the liquid. Discard the bay leaf.

Ingredients
chicken onion yoghurt green chillies, chopped green chillies, whole mint leaves, chopped ghee garam masala, both powder and whole spices ginger and garlic paste rice saffron coriander leaves butter
Procedure
1. Marinate chicken with fried onions (should be red and just crush it with hand, don't blend), yoghurt (put a lot of yoghurt and onions if you want a lot of masala), chopped green peppers (don't use red mirchi powder, the taste won't be the same), chopped mint leaves, ghee, garam masala powder, salt, ginger garlic paste. Leave this to marinate at least 4-5 hours if it's chicken, and 12 hours if it's lamb or goat. 2. Meanwhile prepare for the rice by putting all these ingredients out, because the rice gets ruined if you start looking for everything while doing the ... mix food color or zaafran (saffron) in milk, chop coriander leaves, a few green peppers (whole, don't chop), garam masala powder, fried onions, butter or ghee, lemon juice. 3. Boil water, when it starts getting hot, put whole garam masala (long, big ilaichi - the black one, kala zeera (black cumin), whole black pepper, cinnamon sticks) and a little bit of oil so that the rice grains don't stick to each other (something I learned from my mommy) and salt... when the water comes to boil, put the rice in and boil slightly (I keep the mark by checking the rice and I strain it when the rice grain gets 3-4 lines on 'em LOL... cook it a lot less than you normally would for regular biryani because it has to cook more with the chicken...) 4. Once you strain the rice, leave a thin layer of rice on the bottom of the pot because the chicken/meat tends to stick, so if there's rice on the bottom, that'll stick, not the meat. 5. Dump the marinated chicken in the pateela, and cover the chicken with rice. 6. Cut the butter stick into 4 pieces and put each piece in a different part of the pot. 7. Pour the lemon juice over the rice, I like to make a smilie face with the color/saffron milk sticking the green peppers in the rice as eyes LOL... 8. Then put the coriander, fried onions and sprinkle a bit of garam masala powder.
Cookbook:Katchi Biryani 9. Cover the pot completely with foil and then the cover so that no steam gets out. Leave it on high heat for a while (maybe 10 mins) after that turn it to medium. 10. If you have a burner, its better than an electric stove because the heat gets everywhere; but to be on the safe side, rotate the pot every 10 mins so that the meat cooks evenly. 11. After about 30-35 mins, you'll smell the biryani because of immense steam coming out of the pot... you might want to check if the rice looks properly cooked... if so you can turn it off... if there's no steam coming out, then leave it a few minutes more...

Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Cuisine of the United Kingdom
Kedgeree
Kedgeree (or occasionally kitcherie, kitchari or kitchiri) is a dish consisting of flaked fish (usually smoked haddock), boiled rice, eggs and butter. It originated amongst the British colonials in India hence was introduced to the United Kingdom as a popular English breakfast in Victorian times, part of the then fashionable Anglo-Indian cuisine. During that time, fish was often served for colonial breakfasts so that fish caught in the early morning could be eaten while it was still fresh. It is rarely eaten for breakfast now, but is still a popular dish.
Ingredients
500 g (1lb) smoked haddock (Haddock is traditional. Smoked anything will substitute.) 6 hard boiled eggs, chopped fairly fine 1-2cups Basmati (preferably) or long-grain white rice 2-4cups decent chicken stock, canned low-sodium at a minimum, cartoned organic is much superior, but home-made still beats all comers. 1 bay leaf Liberal amounts of unsalted butter 3 medium shallots, or a medium onion, chopped fairly fine As much garlic as you can handle, chopped very fine or squished through a garlic press At least 3tsp of prepared English mustard (1tsp of dry mustard). Enough finely-chopped parsley or cilantro (coriander) to add interest and colour. Heavy cream Salt, at the final stage Fresh-ground pepper, plenty. Curry powder (alternatively mustard and pepper);
Cookbook:Kedgeree

Procedure
A rice cooker is not essential, but makes the whole thing brainless. One cup of rice will yield a dish that is dense with egg and haddock; Two cups will give you a dish with a more Asian proportion of rice. 1. Cook the rice in one and a half the amount of chicken stock with the bay leaf. When it is done and keeping warm, toss out the bay leaf, fluff the rice with chopsticks and place the raw smoked haddock slab on top. Close the lid and let the haddock steam on warm for 15 minutes. 2. Remove the haddock, and flake with forks to get rid of every last trace of bone. Place the haddock back in the rice cooker. 3. Saut the shallots until light brown, in excess butter. Add the garlic for one minute more, making sure to not brown it. Place it all in with the rice. 4. Add the chopped-up eggs, mustard, parsley, pepper, and throw in enough cream to make everything just slightly creamy. Mix it all up, gently and thoroughly (chopsticks are perfect for this). Add salt. 5. Serve, now or later it keeps well. Leftovers may be served in kedgeree omelettes with a dribble of soy sauce or Worcestershire Sauce (Lea and Perrins)
Variants
The addition of 3 or 4 Cloves (depending on quantity of rice) and a few Cardomam seeds to the rice whilst it is cooking and the addition of a level teaspoon of Cumin powder to the finished product gives the rice a wonderful and authentic aroma.

Category Bengali recipes Servings Time Difficulty 2 50 minutes
Khichuri is a Bengali cuisine once considered comfort food for the poor, now is a delicacy served warm in Monsoon rain. Like similar Khichdi, core ingredients are rice and lentils, but different variations exist, some adding vegetables, poultry or meat and named accordingly (e. g. Sabji khichuri for vegetable). Here is the recipe for the popular Bhuna Khichuri.
Ingredients
1 cup white fragrant rice (e.g Bashmati rice or short grained Pilau rice) 1 cup green gram or red split lentils (rice : lentil should be 1:1) cup split chickpeas (preferably dried Bengal variety) (optional) cup garden peas (optional) 2 tablespoons butter preferably ghee teaspoon turmeric powder (to give the dish a vibrant yellow colour) 2 whole green chilis slit in the middle, de-seeded if heat is not desired salt according to taste 4 cups of water for boiling Spices for seasoning 2 bay leaves 4 green cardamom pods 4 whole cloves 2 sticks of cinnamon 1 inch long teaspoon cumin seeds 2 cm piece of ginger, finely chopped For garnish 1 medium or 2 small onions, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons butter preferably ghee 1 bunch coarsely chopped fresh coriander leaves
Khichuri before garnish. Note the yellow colour is from Turmeric powder, lentils never give such vibrant colur.
Cookbook:Khichuri
71
Procedure
Step 1 Rinse rice, lentils and chickpeas ( if using dried chickpeas) in cold water separately. Dry rice in a colander or on a flat surface. Leave lentils and chickpeas to soak in water for 30 minutes. Step 2 Drain lentils and chickpeas; then roast them briefly until they emit an aroma, set aside to cool Heat water in a kettle to use later. Add it to the cooking before it boils thoroughly. Semi-crush cardamom, cinnamon and cloves Step 3 Heat 2 tbsp butter in a heavy based pan in medium flame. Throw in bay leaf and semi-crushed spices in the hot melted butter, once they start to sputter (in less than a minute) add sliced ginger and cumin. Stir in 1-2 minutes until ginger yields a nutty flavour. Put green chili and garden pea and stir once or twice. Then add rice to the mixture and stir gently for 2-3 minutes making sure the oil coats it thoroughly. Add lentils, chickpeas and salt; stir again for 1-2 more minutes Add hot water to the pan. The level of water should be approx 1 inch above the mixture. Lower the heat slightly, cover and simmer until done. Check regularly to make sure rice does not burn at the bottom. Rice and lentils are done when there is no hard part in rice, it is medium firm, each one is easily separable, but not very soft or sticky. This should take around 10 minutes. Step 4 When the rice is simmering take a separate frying pan and heat the remaining butter. Fry the onion on a medium heat until it starts to brown. When rice mixture is done put onion with accompanying oil on top. Garnish with coriander Turn down the heat to the lowest and cover until served which should not take long.
Ritual Eating!
Bhuna khichuri is a romantic dish especially suited for a rainy day. Serve warm with Bengal fish curry and Chutney as a condiment.
Warnings
Slicing onions may irritate eyes. This can be avoided by cutting under water, not very convenient though! Ethnic ingredient shops often sell fried onion pack.

Author's note
This recipe originated when I tried to adapt my saffron rice and beans for a barbecue. I planned on heating saffron rice and beans over a wood fire at the barbecue as a vegetarian main course, but didn't make enough rice, and added some raw ingredients at the last minute before slow-cooking over the fire. Later I liked it so much that I made it in the oven.
Ingredients
2 Onions cut into chunks 3 tomatoes, cut into large chunks several carrots, cut into large chunks One can Canned chickpeas or black beans Other vegetables, zucchini, bell pepper, etc, cut into chunks 1/3 cup of olive oil 1 tablespoon curry powder 5-10 cloves garlic Misc spices, good ones include paprika, cumin, ground chili or chili powder, ground oregano , etc 1 cup basmati rice 750 ml red wine -- the cheapest you can stand to drink -- I use Charles Shaw merlot, although any of the equivalently priced box-wines will work, so long as you get the red.
Procedure
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Put one tablespoon of olive oil in saucepan, heat. Stir in curry powder Stir in rice, fry rice briefly (5 minutes or so -- although the dish works if the rice is raw too) while stirring Pre-heat oven to 250 Turn off heat, put vegetables, spices, and garlic, followed by rice with curry oil, followed with the can of beans and half the bottle of wine in a casserole dish
With a cover. Stir briefly to mix, and make sure some at least some rice is on top. 1. add rest of olive oil to casserole dish, fill with either water or remainder of wine until all vegetables, beans and rice are submerged in fluid 2. Place casserole dish (covered) in oven, drink any remaining wine 3. Wait for a couple hours, periodically checking to see if rice is soft. 4. Once rice is soft its ready to eat.

Ingredients
sushi rice topping wasabi (as needed) nori (as needed)
Procedure
For nigirizushi requiring a band of nori to hold the sushi together, cut the nori into strips about 1/4 inch wide and long enough to wrap around the finished sushi with at least 1 inch of overlap. Place one such strip on the preparing surface. Hand form the sushi rice into suitable sized sushi bases. Generally, this means a rectangular block from 1/2 inch to 1 inch wide, 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch long, and 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch high. It takes considerable experience to form pleasing sushi bases by hand (beginners may find a plastic sushi mold helpful for forming the bases). Wetting the hands in water prior to forming each sushi base keeps the rice from sticking to the hands. For nigirizushi requiring wasabi between the rice and topping, add a small dab of wasabi on the rice. Add the selected topping on top of the sushi rice. If nori is used, wrap one of the nori band ends up and over the nigirisushi topping firmly, so that it sticks to the rice and topping. Wet the other nori band end with a small amount of water, and wrap it up and over the topping so that it overlaps the other nori end. The water causes the nori ends to stick together.
Common nigirizushis
Broiled eel: sushi rice, broiled eel, nori band. Top with eel sauce and bonito and/or sesame seeds. Salmon: sushi rice, salmon. Shrimp: sushi rice, shrimp. Clean and butterfly the shrimp prior to using. Mackerel: sushi rice, mackerel. Tuna: sushi rice, tuna.

Paella Roja
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Cuisine of Spain | Rice Recipes Paella is a Spanish-cuisine rice dish that derives its name from the utensil used to prepare it, a paelleraa flat round pan with two handles. Paella roja is a classic version of mixed paella in Spain (not including the Valencian region). Paella aficionados refer to it as mixed because it combines meat from land animals with seafood. The recipe below is based on the one displayed on Spain-recipes.com[1] but with more ingredients. This lightly seasoned dish takes its name from sweet-roasted, red bell peppers and tomatoes. A chicken and seafood broth enhances this paella's flavors as well. Paella roja requires some time to prepare but it's well worth the effort.
Equipment
A 38-centimeter (15-inch) paellera A 7.6-liter (two-gallon) pot A rice skimmer A sharp chopping knife for meat and vegetables A large serving spoon A potato masher A clean, white towel large enough to cover the paellera A wide heating source such as: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. A stove large enough to accommodate the size of the paellera A gas burner [2] designed specifically for paelleras A charcoal barbecue A low, forged steel tripod to support the paellera over a wood or charcoal fire Cinder blocks or heat-resistant bricks to support the paellera over a wood or charcoal fire

Recipe
Please read Paella cooking techniques before attempting this recipe.
Ingredients
Broth 225 grams ( pound) chicken wings 225 grams ( pound) of any of the following: frouncesen seafood mix; fish heads; whole crabs; shrimp heads; smelts 1 medium onion 1 green bell pepper 3 garlic cloves 3.8 liters (1 gallon) of water 2 bay leaves Paella olive oil 1 to 2 red bell peppers cut into strips Salt to taste 340 grams (12 ounces) boneless chicken breast or chicken tenderloins 6 large garlic cloves, diced 225 grams (8 ounces) onion, diced 450 grams (1 pound) red bell pepper, diced 1 pound tomatoes diced 1 tablespoon sweet paprika 225 grams (6 ounces) of canned beans (optional), thoroughly rinsed and strained; Use any of the following: chickpeas; butter beans; great northern beans; lima beans. Note: Never use stewed beans. 500 grams (2 cups) Valencian rice 1 tablespoons food coloring for yellow rice; (See note below.) 340 grams (12 ounces) squid mantles (diced or cut into rings), or 340 grams (12 ounces) shrimp 340 grams (12 ounces) scallops 24 live mussels, cleaned with beards removed
Note: Throughout history, saffron has been the natural ingredient used in Spain to color rice yellow. However, it's very expensive (a pound costs over US$1,500) because it's labor intensive to process and each saffron crocus yields a minuscule amount of saffron. Consequently, supermarkets sell only a few grams per container for three or four US dollars. The best solution to this problem is to use commercially manufactured food coloring containing both natural and artificial ingredients (but usually no saffron). The two most popular US brands are Bijol and Badia. These companies sell containers each holding several ounces of coloring for less than five US dollars.
Cookbook:Paella Roja

Procedure
Broth 1. Fill a pan with about an inch of water. Bring to a slow boil and add the mussels. Cover the pan and wait about two minutes. Remove the open mussels. Continue checking for open mussels about once every minute. Throw out the ones that wont open but SAVE THE WATER. Twist off the half shells without meat and discard. Put the half shells with meat in the fridge until you're ready to put them on the paella. 2. Cut one onion and one bell pepper into quarters and place them in a large pot with the rest of the broth ingredients including the water from the previous step. 3. Boil it down until you've got about a half gallon of broth. Occasionally press the ingredients against the bottom of the pot with the potato masher to squeeze out their flavors. 4. Strain the broth and set aside. Discard the boiled seafood and chicken wings. (If you don't like the idea of throwing out food then eat it as a snack but don't include it in the paella. At this point, it has very little taste after all the boiling). 5. Taste the broth. It should have a strong seafood flavor and moderate chicken flavor. Paella 1. Cut the red bell pepper into strips. 2. Pour a pool of oil into the center of the paellera. The pool should be about two inches from the edge of the paellera on all sides. Heat over a high flame. 3. Cook the pepper strips just long enough to scorch them. Remove them and set aside. 4. Add one half tablespoon of salt to the chicken and saut until golden brown. 5. Add the garlic and saut until its brown but be careful not to burn. This step should only take about a minute to 90 seconds. 6. Add the tomatoes, paprika, onions and diced peppers. Saut until all the vegetables are tender. Youve just made Spanish sofrito. 7. Add 960 milliliters (four cups) of broth along with the food coloring and another half tablespoon of salt. Mix well. 8. Bring the broth to a rolling boil then lower the heat a bit to allow the broth to simmer for about two minutes. 9. Taste the broth and invite your dinner guests to do so as well. (This is a custom in Spain.) The broth should have a very lightly salted flavor. 10. Add the rice and mix well. Once again, bring the broth to a rolling boil then reduce the heat to create a moderate simmer. 11. Frequently mix the ingredients well to prevent burning. Begin tasting the rice after it's been simmering for about 20 minute and reduce the heat a bit. Make sure the rice doesn't get too soft. Check the rice again every 10 minutes and reduce the heat slightly after each taste. Your goal is to wind up with rice that has a slightly underdone center. The time it takes to reach this point can vary from 30 minutes to an hour depending on your cooking gear. 12. Add the seafood (except for the mussels) along with the beans and cover it all with rice. Allow the paella to simmer for 10 more minutes. Don't mix the ingredients during this final phase. 13. Your paella is done once you've accomplished the following three things: A) The rice should be slightly firm to the bite. Italians use the same approach when cooking pasta. They call this texture al dente. B) The paella should be a little moist but not soupy. C) You should have a bit of toasted rice on the bottom of the paellera. This is known as socarrat and is considered a delicacy throughout the Spanish-speaking world. Once you've accomplished all of this, your paella is done. 14. Remove the paellera from the heat and cover it with a clean, white towel (NOT ALUMINUM FOIL). Then allow it to sit for five minutes. This will give the rice some time to absorb more water.
Cookbook:Paella Roja 15. Remove the towel and place the mussels around the edge of the paellera with the round part facing down and push them down into the rice. (If your mussels have become very cold from sitting in the fridge then heat them in a microwave oven for no more than 30 seconds.) Arrange the pepper strips on top of the paella like spokes in a wheel. Your paella is now ready to serve.

Paella Valenciana
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Cuisine of Spain | Rice Recipes Paella Valenciana and its seafood variation originated in the early 1800s in Spain's Valencian region near lake Albufera. Prior to the 19th century, the ingredients for Valencian paella varied greatly with the most unusual being marsh rat.[1] Valencians consider Valencian paella and seafood paella as authentic. They view all other variations as impostors. This recipe is based on the one that Chef Juanry Segui serves in his restaurant with plenty of detailed explanation for those attempting this for the first time.[2]
Equipment
A 38-centimeter (15-inch) paellera A 7.6-liter (two-gallon) pot A rice skimmer A sharp chopping knife for meat and vegetables A large serving spoon A clean, white towel large enough to cover the paellera A wide heating source such as: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. A stove large enough to accommodate the size of the paellera A gas burner [2] designed specifically for paelleras A charcoal barbecue A low, forged steel tripod to support the paellera over a wood or charcoal fire Cinder blocks or heat-resistant bricks to support the paellera over a wood or charcoal fire

Ingredients
Please read Paella cooking techniques before attempting this recipe. 500 gr (17.5 ounces) chicken 500 gr (17.5 ounces) rabbit (or duck) 20 gr (3/4 ounce) salt 8 tablespoons olive oil 250 gr (10 ounces) chopped green bell peppers (optional) 1 clove garlic (optional) 1 tablespoon sweet paprika 500 gr (17.5 ounces) diced or grated tomatoes 2 liters (2 quarts) water (preferably hard water) 24 boiled snails (optional) 125 gr (4.5 ounces) large haricot beans (canned or fresh) 100 gr (3.5 ounces) small haricot beans (canned or fresh) 125 gr (4.5 ounces) runner beans or pole beans (fresh only) 8 to 10 threads of saffron and/or 1.5 teaspoons yellow food coloring (See note below about saffron and food coloring.)
Procedure
Clean the snails, poultry and rabbit thoroughly. Cut the poultry and rabbit into small pieces and salt them generously. Pour olive oil in a paellera and, when hot, saut the poultry and rabbit pieces until golden brown. Add green peppers and saut for one minute. Add the garlic and saut until brown. Be careful; garlic burns easily. Once the garlic is brown, add the paprika followed quickly by the tomatoes to prevent the paprika from burning. Saut until the tomatoes become dark and pulpy and the mixture has reduced a bit. Add the water and bring it to a rolling boil. Then add the snails, fresh haricot beans (if canned, continue reading to see when to add these), runner beans (or green beans) and saffron (and/or food coloring). Allow the mixture to boil for 10 minutes over a high flame. After 10 minutes have passed, you should have a flavorful broth. It's customary at this point to allow your dinner guests to taste it. The purpose is to determine if the broth needs more salt. If so, add more salt, a pinch at a time, until everybody is satisfied. Add the rice and stir it using the rice skimmer. Then, once again with the skimmer, spread it over the bottom of the paellera. The coating of rice should be one centimeter thick. Let it cook over a high flame for 10 minutes. Then reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for four minutes. Add the canned haricot beans and reduce the heat again to low and let it simmer for another four minutes. Taste the rice about once every four to five minutes. You'll know it's done when it's slightly firm to the bite. Italians use a similar approach when cooking pasta. Italians call this texture al dente. At this point, there should be some toasted rice sticking to the bottom of the pan. This is a delicacy in Valencia called socarrat. If no socarrat has developed, increase the flame to high and listen for the crackling sound of rice toasting at the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to low once the aroma of toasted rice wafts upwards. Remove the pan from the heat when the rice is almost dry and place the rosemary branches on top. Cover with a clean, white towel (a white towel prevents dye from leeching onto the paella) and wait five minutes before serving to allow the rice to absorb the remaining broth.

Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Cuisine of Spain | Rice Recipes Paella de marisco (seafood paella) is the world's most popular paella recipe. It emerged in its modern version in Spain's Valencian coastal region in the early 1800s. Prior to the 19th century, the ingredients for seafood paella varied greatly with the most unusual being eel.[1] Valencians consider seafood paella and paella valenciana (Valencian paella) as authentic.

Ingredients
300 grams of crab 300 grams of shrimp heads 1 bay leaf 4 or 5 whole garlic cloves 500 grams yellow onion cut into quarters 4 liters water
Procedure
Boil the above ingredients in water. Allow the liquid to reduce until there's two liters of broth. Occasionally mash the ingredients against the bottom of the pot with a ladle or potato masher to squeeze out their flavors. Strain the broth and set aside.
Note: Throughout history, saffron has been the natural ingredient used in Spain to color rice yellow. However, it's very expensive (a pound costs over US$1,500) because it's labor intensive to process and each saffron crocus yields a minuscule amount of saffron. Consequently, supermarkets sell only a few grams per container for three or four US dollars. The best solution to this problem is to use commercially manufactured food coloring containing both natural and artificial ingredients (but usually no saffron). The two most popular US brands are Bijol and Badia. These companies sell containers each holding several ounces of coloring for less than five US dollars.

Cookbook:Pandora's Feast
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Vegan cuisine | Rice Pandora's Feast is a complete vegan meal that can be served several times a week due to the ease with which it can be modified. The meal is easy to prepare in a rice cooker.
Ingredients
1 cup brown rice 2 cups water also some or all of the following 1 cup black, pinto, kidney or other beans Thai sweet black rice 1 cup potato, cubed 1 cup sweet potato, cubed 1 cup squash, cubed 1 clove garlic, chopped
1 cup beet, cubed 1 cup kale, chopped and for finishing touches olive oil, hemp oil, flaxseed oil, or other nutritious oil nutritional yeast soy sauce black sesame seeds
Procedure
1. Add the brown rice and water to the rice cooker. If you have "Thai sweet black rice" or "Chinese forbidden black rice", replace about 10% of your brown rice with this and your finished product will be a lovely purple and will have a different taste. 2. The beans should either be pre-soaked for at least 8 hours and boiled briskly for 20 minutes (preferred) or from a can. Drain, rinse, and add these to the rice cooker. (It is important to soak and pre-cook dried beans. Dried kidney beans will cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea unless they have been boiled briskly (the slow cooker will not do it can even make things worse) for at least twenty minutes to destroy the very indigestible phytohaemagglutinin that they contain - they will then need another 60-90 minutes slow simmer to be tender. Tinned kidney beans are quite safe and do not need pre-cooking as their preparation involves sufficient heat to destroy the toxin.) 3. If using, add the garlic to the cooker. 4. If using, add the sweet potato, squash, beet or potato, chop into cubes 1cm x 1cm for optimal cooking. 5. On a fuzzy logic cooker, set the cooker to the brown rice setting and turn it on. For an on/off cooker, turn it on. 6. If using, chop the kale. 7. In about 2040 minutes, your cooker will complete cooking the rice. When the cooker is finished, open the lid, add the kale, and wait about another minute or two. 8. Open and serve. Top with oil, yeast, soy sauce and/or sesame seeds, to taste. Total prep time is about 3 minutes, cooking time 2040 minutes. Serves 1

Meanwhile, bone the fried fish, reserving the cooked fillets to be served over the rice. 3. Add the head, bones and skin of the fish to the fried onions and cook with four cups of water in a pressure cooker for 15 minutes, or for a longer time in an open pan. 4. Strain the broth and boil the rice in it using 1-4 cups of broth for each cup of rice (this will depend on the absorbency of the rice you use). 5. Simmer the rice on a low fire so that most of the broth will be absorbed. Some of the broth may be flavored with a few drops of lemon and served on the side as a sauce for this dish.

Risotto
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Cuisine of Italy | Rice Risotto is an Italian rice dish, most popular in the north of Italy. Historically, risotto is the name given to all recipes that use rice as the main component and are served as first dish in a traditional Italian lunch or dinner as usually pasta also is. Rice, arriving in Italy six centuries ago from the Far East, found an ideal location to its cultivation in the Po river plain and during the Renaissance gradually replaced rye, barley and millet for its ease of preparation and nutritious power. Its diffusion across the country gave origin to hundreds of recipes which contain components of different local cultures. But the founder of all risotti is the Milan risotto, also called saffron risotto. Generally the rice is slowly cooked in stock, but other liquids can be used. What's described here is a basic risotto recipe. Grated or ground parmesan cheese is almost always sprinkled on top. It can be eaten as is, but risotto is generally enjoyed with one or two ingredients added. In Italy, risotto is, like pasta, usually served as first course, the second course being meat or fish.
Ingredients
400 grams (14 ounces) risotto rice (plump, medium grain rice that contains a lot of starch, the types Arborio, Carnaroli or Vialone Nano are traditionally best) 1 onion 1 glass of dry white wine 25 grams (1 ounce) butter (a good rich butter is best) about a liter of stock/broth, but it's a good idea to have more than you need (as the amount needed is difficult to predict). What type of stock depends on the flavour you're trying to achieve, but since the flavour of the stock will become the main flavour of the dish, good stock is a wise investment. Canned is better than cubes or powder, home-made is usually best. Make sure the stock isn't too strong or too salty, as it will be greatly condensed. Make sure the stock is clear too, or the texture of the risotto will become gritty (The article on stock contains information on clarifying stock).
Cookbook:Risotto
122
Preparation
Make sure your stock is simmering before you begin. It's important that the temperature is as high as possible, without letting the stock boil. The surface of the stock should just be moving a little. A large thick pot is best for the risotto. 1. Finely chop the onion and sweat it very gently (cook over medium heat, without letting it brown) in some butter or olive oil. This is known as a soffritto in Italy. 2. Add the rice and cook until it has a transparent look (this shouldn't take long). Add some salt and pepper. 3. Add the wine. A hot pan will cause the alcohol to evaporate more quickly (and create a nice dramatic effect), but make sure you don't burn the rice or the soffritto. 4. As the wine cooks away you will see the remaining liquid getting thicker as it's absorbing the starch from the rice. When its more or less gone, add some stock. Do not add too much stock. The rice should never be submerged in stock. Keep stirring it and keep adding more stock as it cooks away. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes. 5. Taste to see if the rice is done. The rice should be soft, but have enough bite to it to feel the individual grains of rice. The choice between a liquid risotto or a firmer one is a matter of personal preference. When put on a plate, it should spread out slowly. If it sits still, it needs some more stock; if there's liquid coming from the risotto, it needs to cook down a bit more. 1. When it's done, stir in the butter in small chunks at the time, taste to get the amount of butter right. Season with more salt and pepper to taste. 2. Let it rest for a few minutes, and then serve. Risotto won't keep beyond the meal, but rehydrating it with some soup or stock can yield edible results. With risotto, practice makes perfect because there are many factors that influence the outcome. Experiment with several varieties of rice, choose the one you like best and then fine-tune the various parameters like cooking temperature, selection of the proper pot, the amount and timing of seasonings etc.

Tips
Think of risotto as a way of making stock edible with a fork: the quality of the stock you use is the most important factor in the quality of your risotto. Use a different type of liquor to replace the white wine; vodka, whiskey, champagne and martini work well. Keep in mind that the color of the liquor will affect the rice. Using red wine will create a red risotto (which looks nice with fish or tomatoes). Ros wine will make a pink/purple risotto, which looks nice with asparagus. Saffron added to the stock is risotto alla Milanese. Using large roasted breadcrumbs instead of parmesan cheese will create a nice contrast in texture with the risotto. Put the breadcrumbs on top of the risotto at the last minute and don't stir, or they will soak up too much moisture and lose their crunch. After step 3 you can move the contents into a rice cooker with the stock and left to its own devices to finish it off. The end result isn't quite as good, but the saving in effort makes it worthwhile. Left over risotto is not particularly nice reheated on its own. So as not to waste the leftovers, you can form day old risotto into cakes or patties, coat them in flour and shallow fry them in olive oil, making risotto cakes. This can be served with a salad.
Variations
Mushroom risotto. Add mushrooms to the soffritto. Cashew nut and cucumber risotto. Add chopped cucumber and roasted (unsalted) cashew nuts. Feta cheese and rosemary risotto. Add the rosemary to the soffritto and stir small chunks of the feta cheese through the risotto at the end. Use roasted breadcrumbs instead of parmesan cheese. Paella is similar to a risotto, but uses a very different cooking method. Add sliced mushrooms, sliced sun-dried tomatoes and shredded pepperoni before adding the wine. Add tin of asparagus just before it finishes, or fresh asparagus stalks just before the wine. Sweet pea risotto: add sweet peas about 10 minutes before mantecatura.

Cookbook:Risotto ai funghi
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes Risotto ai funghi is probably the most renowned of all risotto dishes, and should ideally be cooked with porcini mushrooms when they begin to come into season in July in Italy. However, dried porcini (or indeed any other mushroom) is fine. Being originally a peasant's dish it's dead easy, and very tasty.
Ingredients
250 g Arborio, Vialone Nano or Carnaroli risotto rice 25 g salted butter 1 small (150 g) white onion, finely chopped 1 large clove garlic, minced 1 litre of chicken stock 200 g of porcini mushrooms, fresh or about 50 g dried a small bunch of flat-leaved parsley 1 cupful of white, dry wine 100 g freshly grated Parmesan Reggiano cheese
Procedure
1. If using dried mushrooms, soak them for at least 20 minutes in 200 ml of warm water. If the instructions on the packet say they should be soaked for less time, ignore them. Once they have reconstituted properly, chop about of them into small pieces and roughly chop the rest. There's no need to soak fresh mushrooms. 2. Melt half the butter in preferably a medium sized frying pan, or saucepan, on a medium heat. 3. "Sweat" the onion and garlic in the butter until the onion is translucent. Under no circumstances should the onions and garlic burn. If they do burn, throw them away and start over. 4. Now add the rice and swirl it around in the pan until it is also coated in the butter. Leave for about 30 seconds. Again it should not even come close to burning. 5. Now splash in the wine - it should fizz and steam dramatically - and wait for it to evaporate. 6. Add about half the stock slowly, one ladle at a time. Some feel slowly adding the stock is nonsense because they are off doing something else risking the rice "catching" and burning. Some feel makes no discernible difference to the taste. Most would agree that this doesn't effect the taste, but does change the texture. If you don't mind a different texture, you may also use a food processor at this step. 7. Stir the rice about every 2 minutes to release the starch and add more stock if there is the slightest chance of the rice drying out. 8. After about 5 minutes of cooking add the mushrooms and their juice (or liquor as it is called). If using dried mushrooms, make sure to avoid adding the dirt that has sedimented at the bottom of the container in which
Cookbook:Risotto ai funghi they've dried. The secret of Risotto is that the rice should be cooked to a point the Italians call al dente - which means the rice should have a bit of bite left, rather than be squashy and flaccid. This takes anywhere between 15 and 20 minutes, but be sure to start testing small spoonfuls after about 15 minutes cooking. The rice should be fairly glutinous and not too runny. Ideally is should spread out on its own across the plate when served, not remaining in a lump in the middle. 9. When you feel the rice is cooked, take it off the heat and add the chopped parsley, the remaining butter and about 2 Tbsp of the Parmesan cheese and mix it all in together. Adjust the seasoning as well. The Italians call this The Mantecatura period ! 10. Now let it stand for about 2 minutes and serve. Personally (and many will disagree) I feel this is a dish that stands best on its own, and should not be served with anything other than a green salad or maybe a cold Green Bean Salad.

Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Cuisine of Japan In Japanese cuisine, sushi ( , , ) is vinegared rice, usually topped with other ingredients including fish (cooked or uncooked) and vegetables. Outside of Japan, sushi is sometimes misunderstood to mean the raw fish by itself, or even any fresh raw-seafood dishes. In Japan, sliced raw fish alone is called sashimi and is distinct from sushi, as sashimi is the raw fish component, not the rice component. The word sushi itself comes from an outdated grammatical form of a word that is no longer used in other contexts; literally, sushi means "it's sour." Sushi can be eaten as is or dipped into shoyu (Japanese soy sauce) and then eaten. Much care is put into the creation of the dish and the many methods of preparing the food indicate the importance of appearance to the educated consumer. If you did not understand this explaination, sushi is basically a dish composed of rice, nori (and sometimes seaweed) and fillings such as seafood, chicken, tuna etc. Sushi is made by first cooking rice, then cooling it, wrapping it in nori; using a bamboo mat to help and then cut into smaller pieces. Usually served cool and with soy sauce/shoyu. (The description above is one that is only relative to making makizushi).
History
Beginning as a method of pickling fish centuries ago, sushi has evolved into an artful, unique dining experience. In its earliest form, fish was placed between two wads of rice, producing a moderately complex chemical reaction as the fish fermented, helping to preserve it. Sometime between the 14th and 16th centuries, rice vinegar started to be added to the rice to help speed up the process which took several months. Around this time the rice also started to be consumed with the fish it was used to preserve. Nori (red algae seaweed paper) was added about this period as a way to keep one's fingers from getting sticky, thus creating the first ancestor of modern 'makizushi', or rolled sushi. Sometime in the mid to late 18th century, a restaurant in Edo (modern Tokyo) started serving sushi rice alone with thinly sliced fresh fish pressed into it. This was the start of Edo-Mae sushi, which is also known as 'nigirizushi', or pressed sushi. Sometime after this, a chef took this one step further and eliminated the sushi rice all together: the birth of sashimi. It is important to note that sashimi specifically refers to thinly sliced raw or mostly raw fish and shellfish. It is hard to tell when exactly the wasabi and pickled ginger were added, but it is probable they came in with the Edo-Mae sushi, as this was when the focus of sushi became enjoying the taste of the exceedingly fresh fish, and the condiments heighten the experience.
Types of Sushi
Sushi types include makizushi, nigirizushi, oshizushi, and inarizushi.
Makizushi
Makizushi (rolled sushi), or maki for short, is the kind that is most common to North American consumers (see California Rolls) as it is basically sushi layered on top of nori, rolled into a tube, and cut into thick slices. Easy to make and even easier to mass produce, it has found a wide proliferation as a new form of fast food, but still manages to be found in Japanese restaurants that still respect the tradition.

Nigirizushi
Nigirizushi (hand formed sushi), or nigiri for short, is, as stated above, a hand-formed small bed of rice with an ingredient on top (ranging from tuna or salmon to eel or egg). Nigiri sushi that is served without the rice is called sashimi. Gunkanmaki (battleship roll or boat sushi) is a nigirizushi where an oval piece of sushi rice is surrounded by nori and topped with a topping such as fish eggs.
Oshizushi
Oshizushi (pressed sushi) is similar to nigirizushi but it is formed by pressing with the aid of an oshibako, a wooden mold. Generally, the topping is placed in the oshibako first, the rice is added on top, then the combination is pressed together with the oshibako top or lid. After pressing, the sushi is removed and cut to serving sizes.
Inarizushi
Inarizushi (stuffed sushi) is generally a pocket or pouch containing the rice and other ingredients. Materials used to make the pocket include tofu, bean curd, egg, and cabbage leaves.
Sashimi
Sashimi (basically sliced raw seafood, mostly fish without any rice) is often the most artistic form, with thin slices of fish and shellfish being formed into a range of different shapes, especially flowers. While technically not sushi, sashimi is often grouped together with the different types of sushi.
Saikuzushi
Saikuzushi is an artistic type of sushi, which makes a beautiful image. It is quite difficult to make this, and also quite expensive when bought. Rice is tinted with different colors and later sliced to make an image.
Chirashizushi
Chirashizushi, is scattered sushi with rice in a box or bowl and seaweed on top. Different kinds of seafood and fish are placed on top, including octopus, squid, tuna, alongside with chopped cucumbers and green onion. Chirashizushi has two main regional types, the version of Tokyo, and the Osaka Version.
Edomae or Temakizushi
Edomae, or Temakizushi, is one of the most common types of sushi, with rice and fish rolled up in seaweed. Crab, octopus, tuna, shrimp, and several other types of seafood is rolled up inside the rice. It is even found in convenience stores in Japan.
Eating Sushi
An authentic sushi-eating experience can include miso soup, makizushi (sushi rolls), sashimi (pieces of fish with no rice), nigirizushi and garnishes of wasabi, soy sauce and pickled ginger. Hot, fresh, green tea is an excellent beverage to drink with your meal, as is beer or plain water. While sake can be consumed with sushi, because it is made from rice it is considered to be too much rice in one meal. In Japan, sushi chefs will apply a small amount of wasabi to the appropriate types of sushi during preparation. For example, sushi that features its own unique sauce will be prepared sans wasabi so as not to compromise the flavor. Western sushi chefs may do this, but some may not apply wasabi to any sushi. Sushi can be eaten with chopsticks or by hand; nigiri sushi in particular may be eaten by hand because the rice is packed lightly and may fall apart if eaten with chopsticks.
Cookbook:Sushi Start your meal with simple miso soup but do not spend too much time on any one item as this is the proper Japanese etiquette. Instead, rotate through your meal to appreciate the quality of each aspect. Many people start with a mild sushi, such as tamago (a sweet, cold omelette on rice), and end with a stronger taste at the end of the meal, like a darker fish. Between different items it is recommended that a piece of pickled ginger be eaten to cleanse the palate and ensure that none of the subtle flavours of the sushi is missed. Enjoy!

Serving Sushi
There are different types of seafood used for sushi, and the most common ones are tuna, salmon, squid and octopus. Using expensive seaweed makes sushi taste much better. Expensive seaweed is darker in color, and is less likely to break when folded or rolled. Cheap seaweed is usually greenish in color. The type of soy sauce (shoyu) used also affects the taste of the sushi; the most commonly used brands are Kikkoman and Yamasa. Many people like to mix wasabi, which is a green coloured, spicy condiment with their shoyu, which makes it quite spicy and wakening.
Condiments
Sushi is generally served with wasabi green horseradish (a cheap wasabi substitute) gari (pickled ginger) soy sauce kabayaki sauce (eel sauce) (often served on some sushi, may be used for dipping instead of soy sauce)

Cookbook:Sushi Rice
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes Sushi rice, termed sushi meshi or shari in Japanese, is a key ingredient for sushi and a staple of Japanese cooking. It consists of short-grain rice dressed with seasoned vinegar called sushisu. The rice is then cooled and dried for easy manipulation and to give a glistening appearance.
Ingredients
2 G (300 g) of uncooked, washed, short-grain Japanese rice (The Japanese measure their uncooked rice using a measurement called a G. This is roughly equivalent to 150 grams when used to measure Japanese rice. One G is also the standard size of a rice cooker's measuring cup) 400 mL of water 1 small sheet of Kombu (optional) 1 metric tablespoon (15 mL) of Sake (optional) Sushisu (Seasoned rice vinegar dressing): 3 metric tablespoons (45 mL) of rice vinegar 1 to 2 metric tablespoons (12 to 24 g) of sugar (depending on how sweet you prefer it) 1 to 1.5 metric teaspoons of sea salt
Utensils
Rice cooker Hangari (rice barrel), optional Shamoji (rice paddle), optional Fukin (cloth), optional Sensu (fan), optional
Procedure
About 30 minutes before starting, fill the hangiri with water and let it stand. The water saturates the wood, which prevents the rice from sticking to it. 1. Make the sushisu 1. Mix the vinegar, sugar, and salt. 2. Heat the mixture in a sauce pan until everything is dissolved, but do not boil. 3. Set aside to cool. 2. Cook the rice 1. Rinse the rice. Put the rice in the cooking pot, half filled with cold water, and swirl it around with your hand. The water will turn chalky white. Carefully drain off the water, and repeat the process several times, until the water remains clear. 2. Allow the rice to stand for 30 minutes. Some recipes say the rice should remain in the cooking pot submerged in its cooking water; others say to transfer it temporarily to a colander to drain. 3. Add a 8cm-sized sheet of kombu to the cooking pot, and the sake if you are using it. 4. Boil the water in the cooking pot. 5. Remove the kombu from the cooking pot just as the water boils, and reduce the heat. 6. Simmer the water and rice in the cooking pot for 20 minutes. 7. Turn off the heat but do not remove cover from the cooking pot for 10 minutes (no peeking).
Cookbook:Sushi Rice Note: A rice-cooker is often used instead of a cooking pot; these generally produce good, consistent results. The manufacturer's directions will generally be similar to the above. 3. Add the dressing to the rice. The rice and sushisu should be mixed immediately after the rice is finished cooking with sushisu at room temperature. 1. Transfer the rice from the cooking pot to the hangiri; if you do not have one, use a large bowl or cookie sheet. 2. Cut the sushisu gently into rice with the paddle, trying not to break the kernels. (For Western chefs: this "cutting" motion is similar to the cut-and-fold used for gentle treatment of egg whites.) When finished, the rice is evenly coated with the dressing, giving it a shiny appearance. 3. Cover the rice with a cloth for a couple of minutes so the dressing is absorbed. 4. Cool the rice to body temperature by fanning it, while continuing to cut it with the spatula. A traditional hand fan or modern battery-powered fan may be used. Note: Some sushi chefs prefer natural cooling, rather than fanning, and instead let the rice rest in the hangiri for fifteen minutes, then re-cut the rice, and continue with this process until the rice is cool. According to some, the faster the rice cools, the better (but see above about natural cooling, which yields a slightly different texture). The rice is best if used quickly: you can use it to make sushi for a few hours; it certainly cannot be prepared a day early.

Tapai
Category Indonesian recipes Servings 6-8 Time prep: 30 minutes ferment: 2-4 days
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Fermentation | Cuisine of Indonesia Tapai, also tape (pronounced "tah-pay"), is a traditional fermented food of Indonesia, although present in some form throughout South-East Asia. It can be made from various starchy staple foods including grains and tubers, each giving it a distinctive taste and texture, and often a specific local name. Tapai tastes sweet, tangy, a bit yeasty, and is slightly alcoholic (or not so slightly, if left to ferment longer). The following recipe is for a common variant called tape ketan (ketan means glutinous rice; when made with black glutinous rice, it is tape ketan-hitam).
Ingredients
2 cups glutinous rice (sticky rice) 4 cups water 1 cake of ragi tapai (see notes) Optional: a couple of drops of pandan paste (to colour it green)
Procedure
1. Rinse the rice and cook it in the water, unsalted. If adding pandan paste, add it now. The absorption method is usually easiest: bring the water to boiling point with the rice in it, then put the lid on the pot and turn the element or flame down to lowest possible setting and simmer for 15 minutes. 2. Allow rice to cool down to about 30C / 86F. To help it cool down faster, sit the pot in a basin of cold water. 3. Crumble the cake of ragi tapai over the rice and mix in well. 4. Loosely pack the mixture into a large jar, cover with a cloth, and set aside in a warm place to ferment (about 30-35C / 86-95F).
Fermentation
The tapai will ferment over the next two to four days. After about two days, it should start to show a little liquid at the bottom of the jar, and will start producing a distinctive smell of tapai. At this point, the tapai can be considered complete, although it will taste better after a couple of days kept in the refrigerator.
Cookbook:Tapai also be purchased on-line from some stores; try this Google search [1]. The liquid that collects at the bottom is actually a rice wine, called brem. It will be very low in alcohol after only a few days, but if kept and allowed to ferment, it will become more alcoholic.

Ingredients
2 cups (480ml) long-grain rice, cooked 2-1/2 teaspoons salt 1 medium eggplant, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch (1cm) cubes vegetable oil 2 tablespoons whole coriander seeds 2 teaspoons yellow split peas 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 3/4-inch (4cm) stick of cinnamon 3 tablespoons dried unsweetened coconut 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
Procedure
This great Indian dish should be served at room temperature. It's not hot, but it is spicy. 1. Place the eggplant into a large bowl and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Mix well and allow to sit for half an hour. 2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over a medium flame. Add the coriander, seeds, split peas, cumin, and cinnamon. Stir well.

Ingredients
olive oil garlic cloves ripe tomatoes salt ground black pepper fresh cream oregano
Procedure
1. Finely chop tomatoes or pure them in a food processor this depends on what consistency you want. Chopping gives a chunkier sauce while using pured tomatoes yields a smoother sauce. 2. Grind garlic to paste. 3. Heat oil in a pan. Using a pan with non-stick coating needs less oil. 4. When oil is hot (but not too hot), turn down heat and add garlic paste. 5. When garlic is golden-brown, add tomatoes. 6. Tomatoes have to be cooked until done - they'll look and smell cooked instead of raw, and will be a deeper, redder colour. 7. Half way there, add salt and pepper. 8. When tomatoes are almost done, add fresh cream (more if you want, but less is good too). 9. After half a minute, add oregano. 10. Cook for another minute, and your pasta sauce is ready. 11. Add cooked pasta and vegetables and serve hot. 12. add herbs e.g. basil, rosemary

1 whole egg 1 cups flour 2 to 6 tablespoons of water 1-2 teaspoon of olive oil (optional)
Procedure
On a smooth surface, heap flour. Push a hole in the center of the flour (it should look like a volcano). Break egg into flour (add oil now if you choose to do so - it will change the flavor and texture). Either knead with hands or mix with a fork. Slowly add water one teaspoon at a time while kneading the dough. You probably will not need all six tablespoons of water (though you may possibly need more). Knead dough until it has a consistent texture.
Manually
Divide dough into manageable sections. Select one section at a time and keep the rest covered. Roll each section to desired thickness and cut into noodles with a knife.
Pasta Machine
Divide dough into manageable sections. Select one section at a time and keep the rest covered. Roll dough through smooth rollers repeatedly at progressively thinner settings. When the dough reaches desired thickness, cut with grooved rollers.
Use
These noodles can be laid out to dry for later use or dropped immediately into a boiling pot of water. Cook to taste. They are good with a variety of sauces.
Notes
I would recommend using a pasta machine as it drastically speeds up the process. Ingredients can be multiplied without changing the instructions. One tip for success, the drier you can keep the dough, the better it will come out. If the dough gets too wet it will stick to itself and cook down to one blob. To stop pasta sticking to itself as it cooks, toss the freshly made pasta in flour first, and keep the pan of water at a rolling boil to keep the water moving. To make the dough more easily, ingredients can be put in a food processor. They will form a breadcrumb texture. These 'breadcrumbs' can then be pressed together to make the dough. This means the dough can be made more quickly.
Notes
The homemade noodles made using any of these recipes can be served with a variety of pasta sauces, such as pesto sauce.

Cookbook:Fiddlehead-Portobello Linguine
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Vegetarian | Pasta This is a simple way to serve fiddleheads. If fiddleheads are unavailable or out of season, asparagus or artichoke hearts could be substituted with good results. It goes well with a simple salad, crusty bread and a nice dry white wine.
Ingredients
1 pound fiddleheads, cleaned and trimmed 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 small onion 1 large portobello mushroom cap 170g (6 ounces) oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes (approx) half a box of linguine 1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts
Procedure
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Slice the mushrooms, onions, and sun-dried tomatoes into long strips and set aside. Saut the ferns and garlic in the olive oil for about 5 to 10 minutes. Add the onions and saut until they start to wilt. Add the mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes. Continue to saut for another 5 minutes or so. Season with salt and pepper, toss in the pine nuts, add a splash of water, reduce heat and cover. Let sweat for about 10 minutes (or so). 6. During this have the linguine begin to cook so that it is ready when the topping is ready. 7. In a pasta bowl, add the veggies to the linguine, sprinkle on the cheese, and toss. 8. Serve immediately.
174
Ingredients
250g fresh egg pasta 2 mozzarella balls (cow or buffalo) - Works well with Brie as well About 10-15 small tomatoes or 4/5 larger tomatoes (you need about the same amount as the mozzarella) A good handful of basil leaves, about 15-20 Extra virgin olive oil (what else?) Salt & black pepper
Procedure
The secret here is to prepare all the ingredients except the pasta ahead of time and let them soak together. I tend to stand the prepared bowl of ingredients in a sink full of hot water, so that the mozzarella starts to soften and the juices from the tomatoes start to run. 1. Chop the mozzarella and the tomatoes roughly and put them in a big salad type dish. You're looking to create small cube shapes between 1 cm and 1 inch (i.e., about 2.5 cm). 2. Now tear up the basil and sprinkle it over the mozzarella and tomatoes. I always tear basil as I've read that it's the best way to preserve the flavour, but others may disagree. 3. Drizzle on lots of extra virgin olive oil - at least 3 tablespoons (I usually do more - for me it's pouring, not drizzling!) 4. Finally add a really good amount of salt and just a little black pepper. The salt will start to leech moisture out from the other ingredients and create a sauce. 5. Wait! 6. When you're ready, boil up the egg pasta, drain when cooked al dente (as usual) and then pour, still hot, on the other ingredients. Stir it up, coating everything really well, and serve.

Cookbook:Lasagne
Cookbook | Recipes | Ingredients | Cuisine of Italy | Pasta Recipes Lasagna is a popular oven-baked pasta dish of fresh egg pasta squares. It is a traditional dish from Bologna in Northern Italy, where the sheets are always green through the addition of spinach or nettles to the egg dough. In Bologna, these home made sheets are layered with small amounts of real Bolognese rag (made with both beef and pork, very little tomato and no southern herbs like oregano and basil but a little nutmeg instead) and simialrly small amounts of "besciamella" or bchamel sauce in an oven dish. There are at least 5 layers of pasta dough, and the layers stay separate and do not "merge" together into a mush. A light sprinkling of Parmigiano-Reggiano , and a few dabs of butter end the dish which is then baked for about half an hour. The use of Mozzarella in place of Bchamel suggests a Neapolitan variation to the original Bologna classic, as does the use of Ricotta. Lasagne refers to multiple sheets of pasta; lasagna refers to the dish or to individual sheets of pasta. In Italy but especially outside, many lasagna variations exist today. Vegetable lasagna, lasagna without bchamel sauce, lasagna without any sauce (just vegetables and/or meat) or even lasagna without sheets of pasta. When assembling a lasagna, start with the main ingredient (ragu, vegetables, seafood, etc.), add a layer of bchamel sauce, then one layer of lasagne pasta sheets and then the main ingredient again. Continue until the oven dish is full. End with a layer of pasta, spread some bchamel sauce on top and sprinkle the cheese over it.
The Pasta
When it comes to the pasta dough there is, as always, a choice between home-made pasta and store bought sheets of dried pasta. Since dried pasta is made with just water and flour and home made fresh pasta usually includes eggs, there is a distinct difference in flavour and texture. The main difference, however, comes from ease of use. Making pasta from scratch can be a lengthy process and takes some practice to get it right. See the pasta page for a fresh pasta recipe. Dried pasta is usually precooked, so it can be put in to the oven dish straight out of the packet. In the US, pasta sheets generally have a curvy surface. Outside the US, they are almost always flat. Apart from the plain lasagne sheets, the green ones that Bologna favours are also common. These are called lasagne verdi and are flavored with spinach. They work well with white sauces (bechamels or cream-based sauces and seafood.
Cookbook:Lasagne A Scacchi or mina is a lasagna-like dish made during Passover by some Italian and Sephardic Jews, using broth or water-soaked matzo as the starch layer and generally containing ground beef or lamb, spinach or other greens, and other vegetables as ingredients.

Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Cuisine of Italy | Pasta Recipes Fettuccine Alfredo is a dish of fettuccine pasta with a sauce made of cream, butter and cheese. In popular American cooking the cream preparation is considered to be a sauce, though this is not the Italian convention. This recipe will sauce one pound of pasta and serves 6 as a first course.
Ingredients
1 cups (400 ml) heavy cream 6 tbs. unsalted butter 8.5 ounces (240 grams) grated Parmesan cheese or asiago cheese 1 tsp. salt fresh-ground black pepper pinch of fresh-ground nutmeg
Preparation
1. Combine 1 cups (300ml) cream and the butter in a sauting pan large enough to accommodate the sauce and later the pound of pasta. 2. Heat over a low flame, stirring frequently, until the butter is melted and the cream comes to a bare simmer. 3. Remove the pan from the heat once the butter is evenly incorporated into the cream. 4. Cook the pasta, draining it a little before it reaches the al dente stage. The pasta should be slightly undercooked before being added to the sauce because it will continue to cook while the sauce is being finished. 5. Drain the pasta. 6. Add the drained pasta, cup (100ml) of cream, the cheese, the salt, the nutmeg, and several grinds of the pepper mill to the pan 7. Heat the pasta and sauce over a low flame, tossing continuously, until the cheese melts into the sauce and the sauce thickens slightly, about one to two minutes. You can add chopped parsley as a garnish mixed into the sauce.

Notes
Alfredo Di Lelio, for whom the dish is named, was a Roman innkeeper. Between the 1910s and the 1950s he owned a popular restaurant named Alfredo all'Augusteo in Piazza Augusto Imperatore in the center of the city. The original name of the dish, created in 1914, was Fettuccine al triplo burro (Fettuccine with triple butter). He served it with golden forks given to him by Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. Fettuccine is the traditional pasta for Alfredo and its variations because the broad noodles provide just the right platform for the rich cream and cheese. Fresh egg pasta is greatly preferred over dried pasta for cream and cheese sauces because the sauce clings more readily to fresh pasta than it does to dried.

Melanzane Parmigiana
Category Time
Melanzane Parmigiana was originally a Sicilian dish called Parmiciana di melenzane, parmiciana being the slats of a wooden shutter which resemble the layering of the slices of eggplant in the dish. In the form in which it is now known worldwide, it is generally an oven baked dish consisting of aubergine, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella and tomato sauce.
Ingredients
3 or 4 big eggplants (aubergines) tomato sauce about 200 or 300 grams of mozzarella cheese, sliced grated Parmesan cheese flour or breadcrumbs oil to fry salt
Procedure
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Wash eggplants and cut them in slices about 1-1.5 cm thick. Salt each slice on both sides and put them on a big plate. Cover them with another plate, pressing a bit. Let them rest for 20-30 minutes or more, time permitting (up to 2 hours). Then wash the slices under running water and let them dry a while. Alternatively, place salted eggplant slices in a large strainer and place a weight (e.g., a smaller pot of water) on top to help squeeze out the water. 7. Dust the slices with flour and/or bread crumbs and fry them. (Or, bake them in an oven at 180C/350F for ten minutes with a very small amount of olive oil on each slice to make them somewhat lighter than if fried.) Do not overcook, as they will spend some time in the oven later. 8. Take a pan for the oven and make a layer with eggplants slices, then one with the tomato sauce, then one with some slices of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Some cooks add fresh basil leaves and cooked egg slices.
Cookbook:Melanzane Parmigiana 9. Make as many layers as you wish, but 3 or 4 should be enough. Be sure the last one to be completely full of Parmesan cheese, that will make a nice crust when cooked. 10. Now everything is finished, put the pan in the oven at 180C (350F) for about 20-30 minutes.

Pesto
Category Sauce recipes Time Difficulty 45 minutes
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Sauces Pesto is a sauce that originates in the city of Genoa in the Liguria region of northern Italy (pesto alla genovese). It can be used as a sauce for pasta or meat, or can be used as an ingredient in a variety of dishes. One classic use is to spread the pesto onto slices of bread before toasting. The word "pesto" derives from the Italian for pestle, pestello. This recipe substitutes Romano cheese for the usual Parmesan.
Ingredients
4 oz (100g) fresh basil approx. 8 oz (200g) extra virgin olive oil 1/3 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese or a 1:1 mixture. 1/4 cup pine nuts (optional) 4 cloves garlic Freshly ground salt and pepper (to taste)
Procedure
Preheat the oven to 425 F (220 C). If using, Toast the pine nuts in an ovenproof pan for 1015 minutes, checking every 5 minutes to prevent excessive browning or burning. In a small frying pan (skillet), heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil on medium heat. Crush the garlic and saut in the oil until soft, about 23 minutes. Combine the basil, garlic, cheese, pine nuts and oil in a mortar and pestle until it forms a smooth paste, or use a food processor or blender and chop finely, slowly adding the oil to reach the paste-like consistency. The sauce can be used immediately, when covered with a thin layer of olive oil and refrigerated in an airtight container for one week, or when frozen for several months. The cheese can be omitted to allow longer storage, as it is the most likely ingredient to spoil. Grated cheese can then be added before use. It's possible to store pesto in jars for longer periods, but it's advisable to add a little extra olive oil on top of the filled jar, otherwise the top of your pesto will turn brown as it oxidizes in the air.
Cookbook:Pesto
191
A common change to the recipe is to replace some or all of the pine nuts with sunflower seeds, walnuts, pistachios, or almonds. This significantly reduces the cost of the sauce. Besides being cheaper, it is also necessary for people with nut allergies. For a creamy sauce, take two tablespoons of the pesto in a pan and heat on medium-low. Add one cup light cream and bring to a simmer. Use for pasta. Serves two. The pine nuts can be replaced with an equal quantity of sun-dried tomatoes. You may change the taste by changing the base of the pesto from basil to other easily obtained herbs/vegetables. Some variations include using cilantro (coriander, for a more aromatic taste) or spinach (more "bang for your buck", as spinach is much cheaper than basil, yet still has its own distinct flavor). Try to mix up the standard basil/garlic combo by introducing shallots (sweet onions) into the mix, as they add a slight sweet taste to the paste. Mix fresh chives, marjoram, and thyme with the basil to produce something akin to Valdostano-style pesto. Another variant replaces the basil with equal parts of leaf parsley and spring onions. Arugula may also be substituted for basil with surprising, spicy results. For another variation of a creamy sauce, add cream cheese to the recipe. A vegan variant can be made by mixing walnuts, fresh basil, olive oil and small amounts (such as a table spoon per cup) of white miso paste.

Spaghetti alla carbonara (literally: coal miner's wife spaghetti in Italian) is an Italian pasta dish based on eggs, pecorino romano, guanciale and black pepper. It was created in the middle of the 20th century.[1] Recipes vary, though all agree that pecorino romano, eggs, cured fatty pork and black pepper are basic. The pork is fried in fat (olive oil or lard). Then, a mixture of eggs, cheese and olive oil is combined with the hot pasta, thereby cooking the eggs. All of the ingredients are then mixed together.[1][2][3] Guanciale is the most traditional bacon for this recipe, but pancetta is a popular substitute.[4][5] In the US, it is often made with American bacon. Cream is not common in Italian recipes, but is used in the United States[6][7], France, the United Kingdom[8], Australia[9] and Russia (especially in Moscow). Other Anglo/Franco variations on carbonara may include peas, broccoli or other vegetables added for colour.[7] Yet another American version includes mushrooms. Many of these preparations have more sauce than the Italian versions.[10] In all versions of the recipe, raw eggs are added to the sauce and cook with the heat of the pasta.
200
Ingredients
spaghetti: 450g (1 pound) pancetta: 225g ( pound) egg yolks: 5 Pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated: 360ml (1 cups) olive oil, extra-virgin: 3-4 tablespoons pepper, freshly ground: tablespoon salt
Utensils
large pot large skillet bowl measuring cups and spoons fork
Procedure
1. 2. 3. 4. Dice the pancetta into small pieces (1 inch [2.5cm] will do). Bring a big pot of water to a boil and add salt when it begins to simmer. Cook the spaghetti until it is al dente and drain it, reserving cup (118 ml) of water. As spaghetti is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the pancetta and cook for about 10 minutes over a low flame until the pancetta has rendered most of its fat but is still chewy and barely browned. 5. In a bowl, slowly whisk about cup of the pasta water into the egg yolks, using a fork. Add the Parmesan cheese and pepper. Mix with a fork. 6. Transfer the spaghetti immediately to the skillet with the pancetta. Toss it and turn off the heat. Add the egg mixture to the skillet with the pasta and toss all the ingredients to coat the pasta. Taste the pasta and add salt and black pepper, if necessary.
Beverages
Ideally this dish is served with a red wine (Merlot, Chianti, Montepulciano dAbruzzo), allowed to decant for several hours, and served at 65F (18C).

Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Cuisine of Italy | Pasta Recipes | Clam recipes Spaghetti alle vongole (spaghetti and clams) originated in Naples and is very popular throughout the surrounding Campania region in addition to Rome. Italians prepare this dish two ways: with tomatoes (in rosso) and without (in bianco).[1] The below recipe is based on the one found in the recipe book published by La Accademia Italiana della Cucina (The Academy of Italian Cuisine).[2] It differs from the Academy's recipe only in that it includes clam broth and canned clams in addition to the traditional ingredients.
203
Ingredients
4 liters (1 gallon) water 450 grams (1 pound) dry spaghetti olive oil (See below for quantities.) 20 grams (3/4 ounces) garlic, minced 1 kilogram (2 pounds) live clams 225 grams (8 ounces) diced plum tomatoes (Use for in rosso. Omit for in bianco.) 225 grams (8 ounces) canned, shelled clams, thoroughly rinsed (optional) 120 milliliters (4 fluid ounces) bottled clam broth (optional) a handful of parsley, minced olive oil (See below for quantity.) salt to taste (See below for quantity.) Peperoncino or, less commonly, black pepper to taste
Procedure
1. Boil the water in a large pot with a tablespoon of salt. 2. Add the spaghetti once the water starts boiling. Cook until the pasta is al dente. This should take 7-8 minutes. 3. Pour olive oil into a large, wide pan so that it barely covers the bottom and heat the oil. 4. Add the garlic, along with the peperoncino, and saut until golden brown. This should take about a minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic. 5. Add the live clams and diced tomatoes. 6. Put the lid on the pan and cook for about eight minutes. Shake the pan every minute or so to help the clams open. Throw out those that don't. 7. Drain the spaghetti and put it in the pan with the live clams and tomatoes. Reduce the heat to low. 8. Add the canned clams and clam broth to the pan. 9. Season with salt (and pepper, if the peperoncino is not used) to taste and toss until the pasta is well coated with tomatoes and oil. Add another tablespoon of olive oil if you like. 10. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. 11. Serve hot.
Tip
Resist the urge to add cheese. This recipe is intended as a light summer dish.

Spaghetti alla puttanesca (Italian: "whore's spaghetti") is a spicy, tangy and somewhat salty Italian pasta dish. Italians refer to the sauce as sugo alla puttanesca. The earliest reference to spaghetti alla puttanesca in print, cited by the Grande dizionario della lingua italiana, occurred in Raffaele La Caprias 1961 novel Ferito a morte. Also, Italy's Professional Association of Pasta Makers agrees the sauce became popular in the 1960s.[1]
Origin
According to Annarita Cuomo, writer for Il Golfo, a newspaper serving the Italian islands of Ischia and Procida, sugo alla puttanesca was invented in the 1950s by Sandro Petti, co-owner of Rancio Fellone, a famous Ischian restaurant and nightspot.[2] The moment of inspiration came, writes Cuomo, when near closing one evening Petti found a group of hungry friends sitting at one of his tables. Petti was low on ingredients and told them he didn't have enough to make them a meal. They complained that it was late and they were hungry. "Facci una puttanata qualsiasi" (make any kind of garbage), they insisted. In this usage, puttanata is a noun meaning garbage or something worthless even though it derives from the Italian word puttana, meaning whore. Petti had nothing more than four tomatoes, two olives and some capers; the basic ingredients for the sugo. So I used them to make the sauce for the spaghetti, Petti told Cuomo. Later, Petti included the dish on his menu as spaghetti alla puttanesca.

Recipes
Ingredients vary a bit among chefs and cooks according to individual tastes. However, the version from Lazio always includes anchovies while the Neapolitan version never does.[3][4] An Italian-American version of this dish has emerged that omits butter and oregano but includes onions, anchovies and chili peppers.[5] Also, Americans tend to call the Italian-American version pasta puttanesca rather than spaghetti alla puttanesca. Finally, both recipes below contain very little protein. However, shrimp and scallops sautd in olive oil go beautifully with this dish. If you can't eat shellfish then add canned tuna or broiled salmon to the pasta before coating it with sugo.
Procedure
1. 2. 3. 4. Put the following in a skillet: butter, olive oil, garlic and anchovy paste. Before the garlic browns, add the olives, capers, tomato sauce and chili peppers. Add two to three pinches of salt, mixing at high heat. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in salt water (at least 4 quarts of water per pound of spaghetti being cooked). Strain it when it's al dente. Place it in a large serving bowl and coat it with sauce. Then sprinkle it with chopped parsley. 5. Mix and serve hot.

Most food historians agree that the union of spaghetti with meatballs is an American culinary invention with Italian roots. According to Alton Brown, early 20th-century Italian immigrants in New York City were the first to make these dishes. However, food critic and author Kyle Phillips [1] says he has found evidence to the contrary. "...though Spaghetti with meatballs are rare in Italy there are Italian precursors: I have had spaghetti with tiny meatballs in Puglia, Pino Correnti (a Sicilian cuisine expert) notes that meatballs were a common addition to feast day pasta sauces in Sicily, and Ada Boni [2] gives a recipe for pasta with meatballs in [her book] Il Talismano della Felicit"[3] In the vast majority of cases, however, Old World-Italian cuisine calls for mixing heavy meat sauces with fettuccine and tagliatelle but not spaghetti.[4]
Recipe
Ingredients
Pasta 3 tablespoons salt 1 1/2 gallons (5.76 liters) of water 1 pound (454 grams) dry spaghetti Meatballs 2 pounds (907 grams) ground chuck 2 pounds (907 grams) ground pork shoulder 12 ounces (340 grams) seasoned bread crumbs 1 cup (240 milliliters) grated Parmesan cheese or Romano cheese 3/4 cup (180 milliliters) fresh parsley, minced 4 eggs 1 1/2 tablespoons finely minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Cookbook:Spaghetti and Meatballs 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt olive oil 3 garlic cloves
208
Sauce 1/2 teaspoon crushed red chile pepper flakes 4 cloves garlic, crushed or chopped 1 small, finely chopped onion 1 cup (240 milliliters) beef, stock (available on soup aisle in market in small paper boxes) 28 ounces (794 grams) crushed tomatoes A handful chopped flat-leaf parsley 10 leaves fresh basil, torn or thinly sliced
Procedure
1. Fill your largest pot with one and a half gallons of water along with three tablespoons of salt. Place it over high heat on the stove. 2. Combine ground meat, bread crumbs, grated cheese, minced parsley and lightly beaten eggs (add eggs one at a time while stirring ingredients together). Sprinkle with minced garlic, two tablespoons of olive oil and seasonings. Then mix well until everything is combined. 3. Form meat mixture into meatballs, using an ice cream scoop or your hands, pressing lightly, just enough so that meat holds together, but not so much that the meat is very compressed or the meatballs will be tough and dry. 4. In a heavy skillet, heat olive oil over medium low heat. Add whole garlic cloves. Turn the garlic cloves to color them on all sides, then when lightly roasted, press them into the oil; as they brown, remove them. 5. As soon as the oil is hot, add the meatballs to the skillet, leaving about one and a half inches between them so that they can be easily turned. Turn them often using a spatula or large spoon so that they don't stick. Make sure there is enough oil in the pan (about one half inch). You don't need extra virgin olive oil for this, any good quality Italian olive oil will do. 6. When the meatballs are browned well on all sides, remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Then add the next batch to the pan and continue until all are cooked. 7. Add the pasta to the water now boiling in your pot and cook until al dente. This should take about 12 minutes. 8. Add pepper flakes, garlic and finely chopped onion in the same oil you used to cook the meatballs. Saut five to seven minutes, until onion bits are soft. Add beef stock, crushed tomatoes, and herbs. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. 9. Toss hot, drained pasta with a few ladles of the sauce. Turn meatballs in remaining sauce. 10. Place pasta on dinner plates. Top with meatballs, sauce and extra grated cheese.

211
Ingredients
a large handful of fresh spinach 8-12 cloves of garlic (depending on your preference/size of meal) 4 tablespoons olive oil 100-200g feta cheese 200g pitted kalamata olives a small package of snap peas 1-2 breasts chicken (can substitute salmon or steak) approximately 500g linguine Pesto
Procedure
1. Lightly saut the garlic in a pan - this is not meant to completely cook it, but to take a little of the bite off of it. Chop the garlic up a bit in a food processor, then add the spinach bit by bit (stems may be left on if you like). When you have completed mixing the garlic and spinach together, add the olive oil and mix. Put into a bowl and set aside. 2. Strip the snap peas of the stringy bits and the hard ends and place those aside in a bowl as well. 3. Start the water on the stove at a medium temperature to prevent the water from boiling, but able to easily obtain a boil at your whim. Start the barbecue/grill and put the chicken (or other meat) on at a medium temperature. When it has heated up, put a bit of olive oil on each side to prevent sticking. When the meat is about a quarter done, you want to have the water boiling. Put the linguine in, and if you wish put a bit of olive oil in that as well for flavor and to prevent the pasta from sticking together. 4. While you are doing this, put the snap peas in a small fry pan with some olive oil at a low-medium temperature to warm them up a bit. 5. When the pasta and meat are cooked (try and get these finished cooking at the same time), slice the chicken into strips (in the case of the steak/salmon, it may be better to just leave it in fillet/steak form for presentation purposes). Strain the pasta, and put it in a fry pan along with some of the pesto (by portion) to heat the pesto up a bit. Make sure it is not at a high temperature, as that will cause the pasta to crisp up. When you have finished this, put it on a plate and top with feta and olives. 6. Arrange the snap peas and meat strips on top as well, and there's your dinner! Makes 3-5 portions.
Variations
You may alter the pesto at will; it works equally well to either add sundried tomatoes to the spinach pesto, or, if you like, you could also just do a traditional basil pesto. Other variations on pesto include adding Romano or Parmigiano Reggiano (or other, softer Parmesan cheeses), or adding different kinds of nuts (pine nuts, almonds, etc) for a different taste to the pesto. In keeping with the tangy taste the kalamata olives bring to the pasta, sundried tomatoes really help enhance the flavor of the dish.

Category Pasta recipes Servings Energy Time Difficulty 3 700 Cal/2900 kJ 20-25 minutes
Ingredients
300g (10 oz) large pasta spirals (dry) 2 table spoons of extra virgin olive oil, more if you like it 2 large garlic cloves, crushed and finely chopped, more if you like it 4 large ripe tomatoes, well chopped, seeds and skin included. Remove the seeds and skin if you like, but it isn't mandatory. handful of well ripped basil leaves salt and pepper, to taste 4 tablespoons of freshly, finely grated Parmesan-style cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano recommended!)
Procedure
1. Cook dry pasta in plenty of salted boiling water for 10-12 minutes. By the way, the proper cooking time should be indicated on the pasta box itself. If it's not, you better taste one pasta piece from time to time, and stop the cooking when it's still crispy but not tough though(it should be al dente). Prepare the sauce while the pasta is cooking: 2. Sauce: Heat the olive oil gently in a large frying pan or wok. When moderately hot add the garlic and gently fry until lightly coloured only. Avoid overcooking. Add the tomatoes and cook for several minutes, stirring and folding the ingredients. If there is a lot of liquid from the tomatoes, turn up the heat a little and reduce it a bit. Stir in the basil and turn the heat down. 3. By this time the pasta should be cooked. Turn off the heat to the pasta and use a slotted spoon to transfer the pasta to the sauce in the other pan. Don't worry if a little of the cooking water is transferred - this is a good thing as long as you don't swamp the sauce with it(you could also use a colander to drain the pasta alternatively). Season to taste, stir and pour into a large pasta bowl for serving. Scatter the cheese over the whole dish, reserving some for the table.

Cookbook:Caesar Salad

Cookbook:Caesar Salad
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | California cuisine | Salad The Caesar salad is a traditional salad served in American restaurants, often prepared table side. It is referred to by some as the "king" of salads. Its origin is largely credited to Italian immigrant Caesar Cardini, a restaurateur and chef in Tijuana, Baja California del Norte, Mexico. Cardini reportedly tossed the first such salad table side at his restaurant on July 4, 1924.
Ingredients
1 head Romaine lettuce, roughly chopped[1] 1/4 cup (about 50ml) extra-virgin olive oil, divided 2 soft-boiled eggs Heavy pinch of sea salt. Don't use table salt, or else you're not making Caesar salad. Freshly ground black pepper Drizzle red wine vinegar 3 shots Worcestershire sauce Garlic crotons (below)
Procedure
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Drizzle lettuce with 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil. Toss to coat. Add salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Add vinegar and toss to coat. Drizzle Worcestershire sauce over lettuce. Toss to coat. Crack eggs over salad. Toss to coat. Top with garlic crotons and serve.
Notes
[1] Contrary to popular belief, chopping the lettuce will not cause the edges to brown. If we were using a more delicate leaf, say radicchio, then we would tear it, but we're using Romaine, which isn't that delicate.

Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts 2 cups tightly packed arugula lettuce, roughly chopped 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 tsp Dijon mustard 6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the chicken (pick the good stuff) Salt and freshly ground black pepper Shaved Parmeggiano-Reggiano cheese (always shaved, never grated)
Procedure
1. Brush both sides of chicken with extra-virgin olive oil. Season both sides liberally with salt and freshly ground black pepper. 2. Grill over a preheated charcoal grill, turning often, until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. 3. Move to a plate and cover with aluminum foil. Let rest 10 minutes before shredding with two forks. 4. Whisk together mustard and lemon juice. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Season, if desired, with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. 5. Toss chicken with lettuce and dressing. Top with shaved Parmeggianno-Reggiano cheese and serve chilled.
Notes
You probably realized there's no vinegar in our "vinaigrette". That's because a vinaigrette can use anything for acid, not just vinegar. The definition of vinaigrette is "a basic mixture of acid and fat held together in emulsion, usually with other flavorings", so technically our "vinaigrette" qualifies as a vinaigrette.

1. Cut the tomatoes into chunks, about 1.2 inches in diameter. If using tomatoes that are small, cut each one at least once. Remove the core and, optionally, the gooey parts. 2. Cut the celery crosswise, with 1-inch spacing near the thick base and 2-inch spacing near the narrow top. 3. Distribute the celery and tomato pieces evenly in the bottom of a wide bowl. (the salad bowl) 4. Holding the sprouts so that they do not separate and entangle themselves, wash them under running water. 5. Place the sprouts into a bowl full of water. Gently dunk them and change the water a few times, removing the seed casings without getting the sprouts all tangled up. 6. Drain the sprouts well. You may need to shake them a bit. 7. Spread the sprouts over the tomatoes and celery, still being careful not to make a tangled mess. 8. Sprinkle the bacon bits over top of the sprouts. The sprouts should be well-covered; use more bacon if needed. 9. Drizzle oil over the bacon. The oil will adhere to the bacon better than it does to the sprouts. 10. Sprinkle vinegar over everything.

Cookbook:Tabula
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Mediterranean | Middle Eastern cuisines Also spelled and pronounced Tabouli - regional pronunciations vary.
Ingredients
1/2 cup bulghur wheat (fine grind is best, medium grind acceptable) 2 bunches parsley (flat leaf or curly Italian) 1 bunch green onion Tomatoes - at least 2 cups chopped 5 or 6 stalks fresh mint 2 to 3 lemons - to taste Olive oil Salt Cucumbers (optional) Romaine lettuce leaves (garnish and scoopers, optional)
Procedure
1. Soak the bulghur wheat in at least three times its volume of cold water. Fine grind only needs a half hour of soaking. Medium grind needs longer. Bulghur wheat has already been parboiled before cracking or grinding, so it doesnt need further cooking to be edible in tabbouli. 2. Drain bulghur. 3. Chop the parsley leaves, green onions, mint, tomatoes and cucumbers. 4. Chop the parsley quite fine, using a knife, not food processor. 5. Mix veggies and bulghur together. Douse with strained lemon juice. If you are not ready to serve immediately, then cover and hold in a cool place. Do NOT add salt and olive oil until immediately before serving.

Tarbes Salad
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Salad Recipes Tarbes salad is a sweet and sour salad that is both tasty and easy to make.
Ingredients
Salad
1 white or yellow onion 1 tablespoon of olive oil Half a head of your favorite lettuce About 5 walnuts, broken into bits 1 ripe orange, cut into small pieces Small chunk of hard blue or Roquefort cheese, diced
Dressing
50 ml extra virgin olive oil 25 ml Balsamic vinegar 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard A squirt of lemon juice salt and pepper to taste
Procedure
Cut the onion into half moons and brown it in a bit of olive oil. Make it nice and crispy. Once it's done, put it aside in a bowl and squirt a bit of lemon juice on it. As the onion is cooking, wash the lettuce thoroughly. Soak it several times. Nothing is worse than gritty lettuce in a salad. Break the lettuce into bite-size pieces and drop them in your spinner under running water. Once it's washed, spin it until it's dry. Wet lettuce will dilute the dressing. Once the lettuce is dry, put it in a bowl. Add the onions, walnuts, orange and cheese. To make the dressing, just mix the ingredients in a jar and give them a good shake.
