Annatto Rice

Annatto Rice by Bob Vincent

Annatto oil gives this rice dish a nice yellow color. The oil doesn't add much taste but makes for a nice presentation. It can be used instead of butter or oil when cooking long grain rice. I used parboiled. If you use a different type of rice vary the cooking time accordingly.

Mom's Zucchini Casserole

Mom's Zucchini Casserole by Bob Vincent

This is adapted from a recipe my Mom made for the family years ago. She used summer squash. I used zucchini instead. Any squash will work so use what you grow or have on hand. I added more onions than she used and also included herbs de Provence to add some flavor. Be cautious in adding salt as the soup has plenty in it. If you…

Mango Chipotle Sauce/Glaze

Mango Chipotle Sauce/Glaze by Bob Vincent

This is a good sauce/glaze for almost anything. It is easy to make and stores refrigerated well for several days or if air tight much longer. I use it on grilled fish, chicken or pork. It can be used hot as a finishing sauce or cold as a glaze during the last few minutes of grilling. Adjust the chipotle peppers to your taste.

Banh Mi Brat Sandwich

Banh Mi Brat Sandwich by Bob Vincent

This recipe is adapted from one that appeared in Cuisine At Home recently. Banh Mi is a Vietnamese term for bread and a popular sandwich served on a French baguette. The original recipe used a hot dog which I changed to a German Bratwurst. I also decreased the amount of ham as the sausage was much larger than a hot dog. I…
