Thankkkkkksssssssss AM!!!!!! Yahoo! You're the best.

Do you think I can do that with chicken, too?
Scratchchin Probably - not sure how the flavor would be. If it's the red meat issue, I'd try ground turkey first.

I'm a little confused, what do you mean "This is the 1x version"? When you make it x6, do you use 12lb ground beef? EEK! Confused
nod I cook in bulk and freeze for future use. I cook maybe 3x per month. It Rock The rest of the time I pull nearly-done meals from the freezer and finish the process. Much less work, less mess, and just as good!

Gallon ziploc freezer bags and a deep-freeze. Get as much air out of the bag as possible and you won't have an issue. I am extremely picky in what I'll eat - I've never had a meal come out of the freezer tasting funny.

Simple Risotto [modified from America's test kitchen]
3x whole Spicy Italian Sausages [sliced]
3 table spoons of butter [unsalted unsweetened]
2 cups of Arborio rice which can be substituted with the rice used in paella
1 cup of white wine
1 onion [chopped medium]
6 garlic cloves [sliced thinly]
3 cups of chicken broth [low sodium]
2 cups of water
salt
pepper
1 ounce Parmesan cheese freshly grated [or to taste]

1 - Combine water + broth into a pot and bring to simmer with cover
2 - In a separate pan, while that is simmering, cook the italian sausage to render some of the fat from the meat used in the sausage until browned
3 - remove the sausage, toss in the butter till it melts. When it melts, toss in the onion and a little salt till translucent, then toss in the garlic for 10-15 seconds. Afterwards, return the sausage to the pan.
4 - toss in the Arborio rice and coat with the butter and oil until the edges are translucent.
5 - add white wine till reduced and absorbed
6 - stir in two cups of broth water mixture till absorbed
7 - stir in a cup of broth every few minutes until it is all absorbed
8 - toss in the Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste
9 - serve

I do not know the times off of my head. I'm sure there is a few steps in which I need to correct once I get around to it.

Viola! a la cuisine!

Oooh.. then check this one out:

Speck can be substituted by pancetta (from the deli) or pepper bacon

Risotto with Asparagus and Speck
Recipe copyright 2001, Mario Batali. All rights reserved.
Show: Molto Mario
Episode: Modern Treviso
1/2 pound asparagus, rough ends removed
1/4 pound speck, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium Spanish onion, chopped into 1/8-inch dice
1 1/2 cups rice
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 bunch Italian parsley, finely chopped to yield 1/4 cup

10Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. Set up ice bath nearby. Blanch the asparagus for 1 minute, place in an ice bath, and reserve the asparagus cooking water. Once the asparagus is cooled, drain and cut into 1-inch lengths. Set aside.

In a heavy-bottomed skillet with 3-inch sides, combine the speck, olive oil and onion and cook over medium heat until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and, stirring constantly, cook until the rice turns opaque, about 2 minutes. Add the asparagus cooking water until it covers the rice. Turn the heat up to high, stirring constantly, and cook the rice until the liquid level goes below the level of the rice. Continue adding the warm asparagus cooking liquid, 1 ladle at a time, to maintain the liquid level above the rice for 15 minutes. Add the asparagus to the rice and cook until the rice is soft but still al dente. Remove from heat, add butter, Parmigiano and parsley and stir through. Serve immediately.

Certain recipes just use bacon for their fat and then remove them to never be seen again in the recipe. Personally, that is a waste and the recipe is the modified to have them in it.

I can't seem to get a recipe for risotto that "flows like lava."
