Bacon & Leek Risotto with Fried Egg

Bacon & Leek Risotto

with

Poached Egg

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Recipe from Bon Appetit April 2011

I reduced the recipe slightly, to 1 cup rice an 3 cups broth. Used the big Calfalon skillet which was a bit too big.

Next time do the whole thing, its really delicious and I doubt it would serve six as they say. Maybe with a salad.  Really yummy.

I chose to soft fry the eggs in my CI omelet pan, on very low heat in olive oil, with a tight fitting glass lid, came out perfect and was easier than poaching. Might do poaching if I was doing many servings, and this could certainly be a meal for four or more.

Needs a good salad.

Chicken Salpicón

March 29, 2011

Dinner

26 March 2011


Chicken Salpicón

Chicken salad topped with avocado, radishes, spring Vidalias, green chilies and chipotle chilies.

=======================================================

Excellent! I did it once before with beef, but was not too impressed. See A-Z for references.

For the dressing I used oil and vinegar with diced up adobo from Chipotles en Adobo, minus the seeds.

Strips of chipotles, minus the seeds, were a great addition on the salad. A lot of the heat is in the seeds.

Cooked my own garbanzos, took a long while.

Great Company meal on a big platter. Maybe start with nachos or sopes.
