CRISPY BLACK CHICKEN WITH APPLE CIDER VINEGAR SAUCE AND ROASTED GARLIC, DIRTY RICE AND HEIRLOOM GLAZED CARROTS
Steps:
- For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the garlic cloves onto a sheet tray and roast, 20 minutes.
- Set up a deep fryer with canola oil and heat to 350 degrees F. Fry the brussels sprouts until crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt.
- Lower the temperature on the fryer to 275 degrees F.
- Combine the cornstarch, baking powder and salt to taste in a wide shallow dish. Dredge the chicken halves in the cornstarch mixture and shake off any excess. Deep-fry the chicken for 10 minutes, then remove from the oil onto a paper towel-lined tray.
- Increase the temperature on the fryer to 400 degrees F. Place the chicken back into the fryer to crisp for 5 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Add 1/4 cup each of the apple cider and apple cider vinegar to a large saute pan placed over medium-high heat. Allow to reduce by half, about 5 minutes. Add half the chicken stock and salt to taste. Reduce by half, about 5 minutes, then add the remaining chicken stock. Add the roasted garlic and allow the sauce to reduce, 5 to 7 minutes. Finish the sauce with the remaining 2 tablespoons each apple cider and apple cider vinegar and the butter.
- For the dirty rice: Add the onion, salt to taste and 2 tablespoons of the extra-virgin olive oil to a medium saucepan and turn the heat to medium high. Sweat the onion until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat. Toast for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock, bay leaves and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce to a simmer and cook until the rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Heat a large saute pan with the remaining 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and salt to taste. Saute until translucent, 5 minutes. Add the chicken livers and blood sausage and brown until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cooked rice to the pan and stir to combine, tossing to thoroughly coat the rice in the chicken livers and blood sausage. Remove the pan from the heat, add the brandy and ignite with a click lighter. Put the pan back on the heat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the alcohol has cooked off. Turn off the heat and stir in the scallions.
- For the glazed carrots: Season a pot of boiling water generously with salt. It should be as salty as the sea. Prepare an ice bath and season generously with salt. Add the carrots to the boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp. Remove the carrots and immediately plunge into the ice bath. Set aside.
- Melt the butter, brown sugar and cayenne together in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken stock and the blanched carrots. Toss to coat the carrots, then allow the liquid to reduce until the glaze has thickened, 5 minutes. If the mixture needs to be thinned out, you can add a bit more chicken stock.
- To plate: Place a scoop of dirty rice onto the plate. Top with the glazed carrots, followed by the chicken. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, making sure to include the roasted garlic cloves. Garnish with the crispy Brussels sprouts and micro radish.
BASMATI RICE PILAF WITH CAULIFLOWER, CARROTS AND PEAS
Inspired by a Turkish pilaf recipe by Clifford A. Wright, cardamom, allspice and cinnamon make this pilaf incredibly aromatic. The authentic version calls for lots of butter and uses long grain rice. I used a combination of (less) butter and olive oil, and made the pilaf with basmati rice, as that is what I had in my pantry. I needed less than the 2 cups of rice that Mr. Wright calls for in his recipe, as basmati expands more than regular white rice. I also added a small amount of whole grain in the form of cooked wild rice, to get a nice mix of colors, textures and nutrients.

Steps:
- Soak basmati rice in water to cover for 30 minutes (prepare the other ingredients during this time). Drain.
- In a large, heavy saucepan melt butter over medium high heat and add rice. Cook, stirring, until grains are coated with butter, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 cups water and salt to taste (I use about 3/4 teaspoon). Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 12 to 15 minutes, until water is absorbed. Do not lift lid or stir rice during this time. Remove from heat, remove lid and place a dish towel over the pan. Return lid and let sit undisturbed for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium heat in a heavy skillet or a wide saucepan and add shallots or onion. Cook, stirring often, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes for shallots, 4 to 5 minutes for onion. Add carrots, cauliflower, dill or parsley, cardamom, allspice, cinnamon, sugar, currants or raisins, and salt and pepper to taste, and stir together. Add remaining 3/4 cup water and bring to a simmer. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add peas, turn up heat and cook another 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and fragrant, and most of the water has evaporated. If there is more than a tablespoon of water in the pan, drain.
- Transfer rice to a large bowl or a large buttered or oiled baking dish. Stir toasted pine nuts and the vegetable and spice mixture into the rice. Add wild rice and toss together. Taste and adjust seasoning. If not serving right away, cover baking dish with foil. Reheat in a 325-degree oven for about 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Place the rice in a bowl in the sink and rinse several times with water, or soak for 30 minutes, to wash away some of the starch. Drain through a strainer.
- Heat the water or stock to a bare simmer in a saucepan or in a Pyrex measuring cup in the microwave.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wide, heavy skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the carrots, onion or leek, and salt to taste. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes, and add the rice. Cook, stirring, until the grains of rice are separate and beginning to crackle. Add the hot water or stock and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes, until all of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Uncover the rice and place a clean towel over the top of the pan (it should not be touching the rice). Replace the lid and allow the rice to sit for 10 minutes, undisturbed. Add the parsley and gently fluff the rice, then pile the pilaf onto a platter or into a wide bowl and serve.

BASMATI RICE WITH CARROTS, RAISINS AND SPICES (KABLI)
Rice is the centerpiece of an Afghan party, and people always pay attention to see that it is cooked properly and that there is plenty. This dish is traditionally made with lamb, but because many customers at catering events are vegetarian, it has been successfully adapted to a vegetarian dish. I at least double the spice amounts but have posted the original quantities.

RICE NOODLES WITH SEARED PORK, CARROTS AND HERBS
Vietnamese-style marinated pork chops are often served whole with rice noodles, herbs and a dipping sauce. This version mixes all the components, infusing the noodles, sliced meat and vegetables with the sauce and keeping the noodles tender even after a day in the fridge. Dark, robust maple syrup takes the place of the traditional dark caramel in a nod to autumn (and as a weeknight shortcut to save you the hassle of browning sugar). The pork takes only a few minutes to cook, the noodles about 3, so this whole dish comes together really fast.

Steps:
- Whisk the fish sauce, syrup, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the shallots, chile and garlic. Transfer 2 tablespoons liquid to a large shallow dish and add the pork. Turn to evenly coat and let stand until ready to cook.
- Stir the lime juice into the sauce in the bowl. Add the carrots and toss until evenly coated. Let stand.
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the pork and cook, turning once, until seared and just rosy in the center, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and let stand.
- Put the noodles in the boiling water, stir well, and remove from the heat. Let stand until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain very well, then transfer to the sauce in the bowl. Toss until evenly coated.
- Cut the pork into thin slices and add to the noodles with any accumulated juices. Toss well. Toss in the herbs until well mixed. The mixture may look a bit soupy. As it sits and cools, the noodles will absorb the liquid. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold, with more herbs and lime wedges.

LEMON-DILL CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP WITH CARROTS AND ASPARAGUS
Steps:
- In a small saucepan, combine the rice and 1/2 cup water. Cook using the package directions. Remove from the heat. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, stir together 2 cups water, the chicken, garlic, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, leaving the remaining soup in the pan. Set the chicken aside.
- Pour the final 2 cups water into the pan. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Add the carrots. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
- Meanwhile, dice the chicken. When the carrots are ready, add the chicken and asparagus to the soup. Return to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 3 minutes, or until the asparagus is crisp-tender. Remove from the heat.
- Stir in the rice, dillweed, lemon juice, and green onion.
- Cook's Tip on trimming asparagus
- Asparagus has a natural bending point where the tough part of the stem begins. To trim asparagus, hold the spears at the top and the bottom, bend them, and snap at the bending point. Save the tough parts for use in making Vegetable Broth (page 53) or discard them.

STIR-FRIED BROWN RICE WITH RED CHARD AND CARROTS

Steps:
- Dice the thick part of the red chard stems (discard the stringier, tapering part of the stems); you should have 1 to 1 1/2 cups diced stems. Stack leaves and cut in slivers, or coarsely chop. You should have about 8 cups (the leaves will lose a lot of volume when they wilt in the stir-fry).
- Combine garlic and ginger in a small bowl or ramekin and place near your wok. Beat eggs in a bowl and season with a pinch of salt. Prepare the other ingredients and place in separate bowls within arm's reach of your wok.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in 2 teaspoons of oil by adding it to the sides of the wok and swirling the wok. Make sure that the bottom of the wok or pan is coated with oil and add eggs, swirling the wok or pan so that the eggs form a thin pancake. Cook 30 - 60 seconds, until set. Using a spatula, turn pancake over and cook for 5 to 10 more seconds, until thoroughly set, then transfer to a plate or cutting board and quickly cut into strips, using the edge of your spatula or a knife.
- Swirl in remaining oil and add garlic and ginger. Stir-fry no more than 10 seconds and add chard stems and carrots. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, until crisp-tender, and add light part of the scallions and chard leaves. Stir-fry until leaves wilt, 1 to 2 minutes, and add rice. Stir-fry, scooping up the rice with your spatula then pressing it into the hot wok or pan and scooping it up again, for about 2 minutes. Add soy sauce, dark green part of the scallions, eggs and cilantro, stir-fry for about 30 seconds, remove from heat and serve.

Steps:
- Set raisins to soak in water for 15-30 minutes. If time allows, drain this water off and use it to cook the rice. Otherwise, discard soaking water. This will make the raisins plump and juicy in the dish.
- Bring water to boil in a small to medium pot. Add margarine, rice, and the five dry spices to the water. Stir. Cover. Reduce heat to very low. Simmer rice for 15 minutes, then remove from heat and let sit another 5 minutes. These cooking times are given by my brand of rice. Adjust if needed for your brand.
- While rice is cooking, peel carrots, then shred, or shave into short strips with a vegetable peeler. Feed carrot stubs to hungry kids, if applicable.
- When cooked rice is standing by, heat oil in a small skillet on medium high heat. Add sugar and stir until it dissolves. Add carrot shavings and drained, soaked raisins to the skillet. Saute and stir until carrots wilt a bit. Remove from heat.
- Fluff rice with a spoon or fork and garnish with carrot and raisin mixture. Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
- 3. Chef's Note: Cook the rice according to package directions; however, use 1/4 less water. I want toothy rice; not soggy rice.
- 4. Chef's Tip: The measurement of 1/2 cup of rice is its precooked/dry volume. Since rice expands as it cooks, if you use 1/2 cup of cooked rice, you won't have enough.
- 5. Cover and place the rice in the fridge, overnight, before proceeding.
- 6. Add the butter to a sauté pan over medium heat.
- 7. When the foaming subsides add the peas and carrots.
- 8. Toss in the pan, and keep them moving, until the carrots begin to soften, about 3 - 4 minutes.
- 9. Add the rice, and toss with the veggies, about an additional 2 minutes.
- 10. Remove from the heat, and season with some salt and pepper.
- 11. Chef's Tip: Don't be tempted to add additional spices, onions, or anything else, just some rice with, fresh garden peas, and carrots, lovingly sautéed in sweet butter (from a happy cow), and a bit of salt and pepper. That's all this recipe needs.

- 13. Eat on its own, or serve it as a side with your favorite protein. Enjoy.
- 14. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
