ORANGE CINNAMON RICE PUDDING

Recipe courtesy of Food Network Magazine

Ingredients

1 strip orange peel, plus 1/2 teaspoon grated zest

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Kosher salt

1 cup Arborio rice

4 cups whole milk

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 cinnamon sticks

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 cup mascarpone cheese

3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Ground cinnamon, for sprinkling

Directions

Combine the orange peel, 2 cups water, the butter and a pinch of salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the rice and return to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

Bring the milk, granulated sugar, cinnamon sticks and vanilla to a low boil in another saucepan. Add the rice and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring, until the liquid is mostly absorbed, about 15 minutes. Stir in the grated orange zest and 1/4 cup mascarpone.

Transfer the rice pudding to a large bowl and let cool, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold and set, about 2 hours.

Beat the remaining 1/4 cup mascarpone and the confectioners' sugar in a bowl. Remove the cinnamon sticks and orange peel from the pudding. Serve topped with the mascarpone and cinnamon.

When I go to Sams I buy a bag of real bacon which is cooked and crumbled, it is a large bag and last a long time and can be used in so many dishes. Keeps me from having to fry up just a few slices of bacon for my recipes. And really bacon goes on pretty much anything! If you look for it is is not in the fridge section it is usually with the big seasoning containers or with the salad dressing. I often have to ask they keep moving things.

Italian Sausage with Celery Root Slaw (Real Simple) Give ordinary coleslaw a twist by using grated raw celery root, which lends a fresh, mild celery flavor. Using sour cream instead of mayonnaise to dress the slaw lightens things up and adds a pleasant tang. 1 tablespoon olive oil 8 links Italian sausage (about 1 1/2 pounds) 1 small celery root (1 1/2 pounds), peeled 1/2 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard kosher salt and black pepper 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 2 dill pickles, cut into thin strips Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Meanwhile, in a food processor fitted with the coarse grating disk, grate the celery root. In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, lemon juice, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the celery root, onion, parsley, and pickles and toss to combine. Serve with the sausages.

I've never cooked eggplant, but the idea of ratatouille intrigues me. I think you either love or hate eggplant....how many of you like it? This is a recipe that's a Mediterranean relish or antipasto. The instructions look long and daunting, but it's just cooking it in batches. If you like antipasto, this should be delicious! Caponata gets better overnight, so make at least a day ahead if possible. It will keep 3-5 days in the frig. Serve with pita bread or Italian bread or crostini. Caponata----Relish/Antipasto (Mediterranean Harvest cookbook) 1 1/2 lb (1 large) eggplant, cut in half lengthwise 3 tbsp olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped 3 large garlic cloves, minced 2 red bell peppers, cut into 1/2" dice 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes 2 tbsp plus 1/4 tsp sugar 3 stalks celery, sliced 1/2" thick and blanched in boiling salted water 3 tbsp capers, rinsed and drained 1/4 cup coarsely chopped green olives 1/4 cup wine vinegar or sherry vinegar Preheat oven to 400*. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush the foil lightly with oil. Score the cut sides of the eggplant halves with a small knife, cutting down to the skin, but not through. Place on the baking sheet, cut side down and bake 20 minutes, until the eggplants collapse and the skins begin to shrivel. Drain and cool, cut side down in a colander. When cool enough to handle, pull off and discard the skin, scraping any eggplant that adheres, and chop. The eggplant should be soft and is not meant to hold its shape. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring until tender but not browned, 5 minutes; and add 2/3 of the garlic. Cook 1 minute until the garlic begins to smell fragrant; add bell peppers and 1/4 tsp salt. Cook, stirring, until just about tender, 8 minutes. Add 1 tbsp oil and the eggplant, and cook, stirring, 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Transfer to a bowl. Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and the remaining garlic to the skillet. Cook 30 seconds, just until the garlic begins to color, and add the tomatoes, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp sugar. Cook, stirring 5-10 minutes until the tomatoes have cooked down somewhat; they should not be dry however; and they smell fragrant. Return the eggplant mixture to the pan and stir. Add the celery, capers, olives, vinegar, salt to taste, and remaining 2 tbsp sugar. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, 15-30 minutes, until the vegetables are thoroughly tender and the caponata is quite thick, sweet and fragrant. Season with salt and pepper and cool to room temperature.

I love this at Olive Garden. This sounds like it.

ZUPPA TUSCANA

1 lb. Italian sausage (or half regular, half turkey sausage)
1 large onion, chopped
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine to deglaze the pan
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
2 russett potatoes, peeled and cut into Ã¯Â¿Â½-inch chunks
2 cups fresh kale, chopped
3 cups chicken broth
2.5 cups water
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper

Place a large stockpot or Dutch oven on the stove over medium heat. Crumble the sausage into the pan and cook until well browned. Remove the cooked sausage from the pot with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl; set aside. Add the chopped onion to the pan and sautÃ¯Â¿Â½ until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the pan and cook for a minute more, just until fragrant. Add the wine to the pot and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Add the potatoes, kale, chicken broth and water to the pot. Return the sausage to the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high, bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer on medium-low. Cover and let simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and cooked through. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
