05-15 Quick Paella

In Spain this is taken seriously...taking hours to prepare properly.
this is a "cheater" version, around 20 minutes, if you chop quickly=)
This has a very mild flavor.

Saute about 1 minute
1 T olive oil, hot in pan
2 c diced onions
(if using 1 fresh colored pepper, thinly cubed - add here, OR if using 1/2 c canned & roasted pepper, add with tomatoes)
then add:
4 garlic cloves or 1 1/2 t minced garlic
about 1 minute. Now add:
3/4 lb boneless, skinless chicken, cubed and cooked OR
if using raw chicken, brown on each side for 2 minutes before adding:
1/2 c Valencia or Arborio rice
Stir one minute to coat rice then add:
1 1/2 c chicken broth
1-2 zucchini, sliced thin
4 large roma tomatoes, cubed
1 c frozen peas
1/4 t saffron
Bring to a boil then simmer for 15 minutes
the liquid will be absorbed and you can now season with
salt and pepper to taste
2-4 servings

We ate it with a green salad and artichoke antipasto on sourdough
and had plenty of room for your lemon scones later=)

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!

Hot Chocolate

 Hot Chocolate from scratch makes it easier to serve a group all at the same time Melt 1/2 lb dark chocolate pieces in  1 quart of milk Stir constantly to almost a boil - careful not to burn the bottom Remove from heat Toppings: whipped cream or frozen coconut cream orange zest cinnamon, cardamom, saffron
