by Sarah Steimer
- 2 1/2 cups chopped leeks (about three leeks using mainly the white and light green parts)
- 1 cup aborio rice
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 4-5 cups hot stock (chicken or vegetable)
- 1/4 cup finely diced chorizo, if you can find the cured version. If not, use one chorizo sausage and remove from its casing. Cook as you would ground beef
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/3 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- 1 lemon (zest and juice)
- 2 cups blanched fresh OR frozen peas
- 1/4 cup fresh mint
- 1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley
- salt and pepper, to taste
Begin heating the stock on the stove.
In the meantime, puree 1 cup of peas (ONLY ONE), lemon juice and zest, mint, parsley, and salt and pepper. Pulse in a food processor until it resembles a pesto. Set aside.
Add the oil and butter to a large pan with high sides. Allow the butter to melt before adding the leeks. Sauté, stirring frequently, until the leeks have wilted and the white parts are translucent. Add the rice and stir for about one minute, so the butter and oil coats the rice. Add the white wine and simmer for until the liquid is absorbed.
Add the hot stock to the pan one cup at a time, waiting to add the next cup once the first is absorbed. Repeat either until all the stock is used or the rice reaches your desired consistency. I used a little less than four cups.
Turn off the heat and add the pea-mint puree, cheese, chorizo and additional salt and pepper, if desired. Stir until fully combined. Serve warm with additional shredded cheese.
Makes four to six servings.

-
3 slices bacon, chopped
-
1/3 cup sweet onion, diced
-
1/2 cucumber, chopped
-
1 carrot, grated
-
1 stalk bok choy, diced
- 1/2 cup peas
-
2 cloves of garlic, minced
-
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger root
- 3-4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 3 cups cooked rice (I went with brown basmati rice)
- 1 egg, whisked
Over medium meat, cook the bacon pieces until crisp. Add garlic, onions and ginger to the pan and cook until garlic and onions become slightly translucent. Add the rest of the vegetables to the pan and cook until the bok choy is wilted.
Push everything to one side of the pan and add the eggs, cooking them until they firm up and mixing them with everything else. Add the soy sauce and rice, adjusting for taste.
Makes three to four servings.

Pea, feta and crispy prosciutto salad
Posted in Side dishes, tagged Caitlin Saniga, dkscooks, feta, feta cheese, food, green onions, peas, prosciutto, recipe, salad, scallions, side dish, SoHungryBlog on April 21, 2011| Leave a Comment »

- 2 thin slices prosciutto (2 ounces)
- salt and pepper
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and place the prosciutto in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake until beginning to darken, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool (the prosciutto will crisp as it cools), then crumble.
Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the peas and cook until tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
In a large bowl, toss the peas with the oil, Feta, scallions, prosciutto, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

For biscuits
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2/3 cup of milk
Stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center and add milk all at once. Stir just until dough clings together.
On a lightly floured surface, knead dough gently for 10 to 12 strokes. Roll or pat dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter (or, if you’re like most and don’t have a “biscuit cutter,” a drinking glass works just fine). Bake at 450 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden.
Makes about 10 biscuits.
For chicken:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 cups chicken, poached and cubed
- 1/2 cup (or more) celery, chopped
- 1/2 cup (or more) carrots, chopped
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 can peas
Sauté celery and carrots in a pan with a tablespoon of the butter then remove from the pan. Add the rest of the butter to the pan along with the flour, salt and pepper, stirring constantly. Add milk and chicken broth all at once. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly. Cook for about a minute more, while stirring.
Add vegetables and chicken. Heat thoroughly. Serve over the biscuits and spoon peas over top, if desired.
