Risotto alla crema di scampi (Risotto with Shrimp Cream)

Risotto alla crema di scampi (Risotto with Shrimp Cream) by Frank Fariello

As I have mentioned before, Rome is not really risotto country. But there is at least one risotto dish that appears on almost every menu in town: risotto alla crema di scampi, or risotto with shrimp purée. It is one of my favorite risotti, but I hadn't had it since leaving Rome four years ago. As I pondered what to make for dinner…

Risotto all'indivia belga

Risotto all'indivia belga by Frank Fariello

Risotto is one of my 'go to' dishes when I don't feel like cooking anything elaborate. That may sound odd: risotto has a reputation for being a lot of work and easy to get wrong. And yes, when done badly, risotto can be a rather goopy mess. But it is not really very hard to learn the right technique and, if you use a pressure cooker,…

Salsicce con broccoletti

Salsicce con broccoletti by Frank Fariello

Is there any meat more satisfying than sausages? If there is, I haven't found it. And, in this typically Roman dish, sausages marry particularly well with broccoletti, the cruciferous vegetable known in English as 'broccoli rabe'. The slight bitterness of the broccoletti sets off the savory richness of the sausage perfectly.

Polenta con salsicce e spuntature

Polenta con salsicce e spuntature by Frank Fariello

Rome is not especially known for its love of polenta, perhaps because its winters are relatively mild compared with those up in true polenta country skirting the southern rim of the Alps, but there is one polenta dish you are bound to find if you visit Rome in the cold weather months, polenta with sausages and spareribs simmered in…

Barbacoa De Cabeza

Barbacoa De Cabeza by Sergio Hernandez

Barbacoa de Cabeza is a slow cooked dish prepared with parts from the head of a cow, such as the cheeks. Popular in South Texas, I've adapted the dish to be cooked using your Slow Cooker, Pressure Cooker, or Smoker/Oven Combo to create this tasty dish.

Chinese Braised Oxtails with Root Vegetables

Chinese Braised Oxtails with Root Vegetables by Joyce Leung

A hearty oxtail dish with star anise, Chinese mushroom, daikon and carrots. The oxtails turn tender when cooked slow and the bones add a lot of favor to the meat.

Carnitas

Carnitas by Sergio Hernandez

Carnitas are the Mexican version of pulled pork. Braised first in a spicy sauce, pork shoulder is slow cooked until so tender the meat just shreds easily with a fork, then it's roasted at high heat to make crispy browned bits full of flavor.

Lamb Shanks with Orzo and Vegetables

Lamb Shanks with Orzo and Vegetables by Jason Freund

A delicious Mediterranean one pot wonder meal that combines a tomato base with orzo pasta, veggies, and lamb shank. The hard part is finding the largest possible large lamb shanks. Restaurants seem to have no problem getting 1.5lb+ shanks, but I'm lucky to find 0.80lb shanks at most grocery stores. If I have to make due with…

Pork Loin w/ Roma Tomatoes & Capers

Pork Loin w/ Roma Tomatoes & Capers by Yvonne Tally, Your Fit Gourmet

Do not boil the liquid, just simmer lively otherwise the meat will cook too fast and be tough and dry. Using a pork loin rather than tenderloin is less expensive by about $1 per pound. Have you butcher slice it for you in 1/2 – 3/4 inch thick medallions.

Lamb Curry

Lamb Curry by Maria Ferrari

This is Jamie Oliver's friend's Peter's lamb curry. Indian food usually seems so indulgent but besides the 1/4 T butter per serving there's not really anything bad for you in this, and you can throw in all sorts of veggies near the end. You can make the curry sauce one day ahead of time. I use lamb shoulder if I can't find shank.…

Beef with Barley and Wild Rice

Beef with Barley and Wild Rice by John Spottiswood

I went to Russia a few months ago and had a delicious lunch of Beef over barley and wild rice. It was substantial and healthy, so I promised myself that I would try to copy it. This is what I came up with. If you try it, I don't think you will be disappointed. It's delicious!

Carnitas

Carnitas by coachjeff

Of all the mexican style meats, Carnitas is by far my favorite. Its great to serve in simple tacos or as a main course. Made of flavorful pork with minimal seasonings, its the two step cooking process that puts carnitas over the top. First its braised, or slowly roasted until its fork tender. Then its fried until a fine crust adds a…
