my favorite two recipes at the moment are something that i messed up at in culinary school but i felt my mess up tasted much better than the original! cooking's just a hobby for me and that's all culinary school was.. i'd be terrible at it in a restaurant b/c i don't follow the "1 cup" etc thing... so this doesn't have it...

i call it Purple Chicken and Mango Risotto

for the chicken:
lightly saute a little bit of onions and shallots
add a little bit of red wine (whatever you would drink.. my rule is if you don't drink it, don't cook with it)
place the chicken breasts in the pan and then finish adding red wine and a little chicken stock until the liquid's up to 3/4 of the way of the chicken breast
bring that up to just before a boil
put the oven on at 350
cover the pan with a little tin foil and place in the oven
remove the chicken when the internal temp is cooked all the way through (changes depending on the size of the breast)

for the risotto:
saute shallots and onions in a small sauce pan
add a little bit of cognac and cook the alcohol off a little
add the rice and constantly stir till the rice is warm
puree mangoes (depending on how much rice you cook.. i normally do 2 small mangoes for 2 people)
add that and some chicken stock to the rice while constantly stirring
taste the rice after a bit to make sure it's cooked.

after the risotto's done, in a small saute pan put some cut up mangoes, a little honey, and cognac. flambe it then put it on top of the finished risotto.

sorry for the crappy recipes hehe..

Ready to drop to your knees and bow to me? Here...

First night:

A 4-5 pound tri tip
Two oranges juice

Make a bunch of straight stabs all the way to thru
and pour the OJ all over, cover and let it set overnight
in your fridge.

Second night:

Two bottles of Corona beer
Half a cup of minced garlic
Half a cup of vegetable oil
Two table spoons of cumin and pepper
One table spoon of salt

Pull the tri tip out and pat it dry with paper towels
Mix all the above ingredients and place the tri tip in
it. Work the marinade inside the holes and let it set overnight
Save some of the marinade to baste.
Grill it over coals -not gas, gas is for sissies- and enjoy!
