Here's how you cook good rice.

Take the rice, put it in a pan. Remember, the rice you start with will triple in size, so plan accordingly.

Put water in the pan, about an inch over the rice level.

Cook for approx 30 minutes or until rice is good and fluffy. Should be sticky, depending on the style.

[dmention7]

About 2-3 cups of uncooked rice go in a medium sized pan, BTW.

And this is for the good stuff, not Uncle Bens. Go be a big spender and drop $20 on a 25lb bag, instead of $3 on a teeny box of instant rice.

[mndsm]

Ayup, your tastebuds will thank you.

[Big Nate]

25lbs bag. wow how long will that take you to go through?

[mndsm]

FOREVER. I have like 10lbs in my house and it's been months.

[dmention7]

How about this one: Mint Truffles (these are f-ing amazing)

Pulverize one package of mint oreos to dust in a blender (works best to crush about 6 at a time)

Pour the oreo powder in a bowl and mix in a block (8 oz) of softened cream cheese and a few drops of mint extract until smooth

Refrigerate for an hour or so, then roll into little balls and place on a cookie sheet--place back in the refrigerator

Melt about one and a half packages of semi-sweet baking chocolate, use a spoon to dip the oreo/cream cheese balls in the chocolate, then place on wax paper to dry.

Use the leftover chocolate to cover up any bare spots on the truffles. You can even melt some white chocolate and make little designs on the truffles if you're enough of a badass.

Put em in the fridge until they're nice and cold, and you're done.

25lbs bag. wow how long will that take you to go through?

It lasts almost forever. Just keep it in a cool dry place, and the bag is good for a year at least.

[Picklz]

Those Truffles sound delicious!

[dmention7]

It's weird.. it's the simplest recipe in the world, but they are tasty as hell

[Big Nate]

Well I made Tom start this thread I better post a recipe in it.

This is for Steak Fajitas

1 lb of flank steak or skirt steak or any steak you have. I use the older stuff from the freezer

1 large yellow onion peeled and sliced and I dice mine but you can do whatever you want.

2 large bell peppers, stemmed, seeded, sliced lengthwise into half-inch wide strips

Marinade:
About the juice of 1 lime I like more
3 Tablespoons of olive oil
1/2 fresh Jalapeño pepper, seeded, finely chopped
A teaspoon of dried cilantro
A clove of minced garlic

Mix all marinade ingredients. I like to slice the steaks up first but you can do what you like. Set the steak in the marinade and let it sit at least an hour, the longer the better.

Cook steak to the desired doneness is reached. Now this is up to you ether cook the onions with the steak or on the side. Cook the onion and pepper till the onion is just turning translucent.

Serve it up with your favorite toppings on tortilla or hard tacos.

[Slim]

A teaspoon of dried cilantro

Fail.

Always use fresh cilantro, your tastebuds will thank you. A bunch is like $0.59 at the grocery store.

And you can take the rest of the bunch, pull it off the stems, chop it and put it in with the rice after you cook it, squeeze in some lime juice, put that in a tortilla with your fajitas and you've got your own Chipotle Fajita Burrito.

[Big Nate]

I think that NSX thread has gotten everyone flame happy.

[Slim]

You know I'm giving you crap right. ;)

Chicken & Ranch Pizza

-First grill your choice of chicken till fully cooked. A GF Grill works wonders for this! Cut to desired slices.
-Pizza Crust of your choice (either make your own or buy one from the store)
-Spread Ranch Dressing evenly as the pizza sauce, holds it's thickness, so what you put on is what you get.
-Add spices or your favorite pizza seasoning on the sauce as you see fit.
-Add grilled chicken, any addition toppings(we use green onlives and even cut up Dill Pickles), and your favorite pizza cheese.
-Heat oven to temp and cook as directed by direction on store bought crust (or to 400 degrees and till crust is golden brown if home made). Don't rely soley on a timer.

Banana Walnut Stuffed French Toast

1) loaf of un-sliced bread
2) bananas
3) chopped walnuts
4) brown sugar
6) corn flakes
5) french toast mix (substituting milk with vanilla soy milk is incredible)

Cut the slices of bread 2x as thick as normal. With a knife cut a slit in the side of the bread (enough to get your ingredients into without them flopping back out) Add banana slices and some brown sugar. dip the stuffed bread into the egg mix then into the corn flakes. Either cook on low heat in a pan or put them on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 (flip once). They are thick so it'll take some time.

The brown sugar will make them pretty sweet, so beware of how much syrup you use. I'd also suggest that instead of using maple syrup, you can use a strawberry syrup.

[mOjO]

Made this one this weekend: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/brown-butter-risotto-with-lobster-recipe/index.html

The costly part is about $40-$50 for the 1lb lobster.


Ingredients

* 1 pound (about 2 medium) frozen lobster tails, thawed
* 4 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken stock
* 4 tablespoon butter, at room temperature
* 1 cup finely chopped onion
* 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
* 1/2 cup brandy
* 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
* Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the lobster tails and boil for 8 to 10 minutes until the shells curl and the lobster meat turns white. Drain, transfer to a cutting board, and cool for 15 minutes. Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut through the top shell lengthwise. Remove the meat and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Keep hot over low heat.

In a large saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Cook until the butter begins to foam and then turns brown, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Add the onion and cook, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat with the butter. Add the brandy and simmer until the liquid has almost evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of stock and stir until almost completely absorbed, about 2 minutes. Continue adding the stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition of stock to absorb before adding the next. Cook until the rice is tender but still firm to the bite, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, the remaining butter and 2 tablespoons chives. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Transfer the risotto to a large serving bowl. Arrange the lobster meat on top of the risotto and garnish with the remaining chives.
