RISOTTO (From Bistro on the River) 3-5-16
In a hot saute pan, add 2 tbsps. olive oil and 1/2 a yellow onion, medium diced. Do not saute the onions, just sweat them. Turn up the heat and add 1 cup Arborio rice, cooking until it just starts to smell nutty and get a little color. Reduce heat and add 1 1/2 cups stock, adding 1/2 cup at a time, stirring between and adding enough to moisten but not make the rice starchy. During this step, prep veggies. Test the rice often to avoid starchiness.
BREAKFAST CASSEROLE (From simplyrecipes.com) 3-5-16
1 tsp. kosher salt
fresh ground pepper to taste
5 cups cubed day old bread (rustic French or Italian
loaf), cut into 3/4-inch to 1 inch-wide cubes
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Brown the sausage: Heat a skillet on medium high. Break up the sausage into chunks and cook, working in batches if need be, until browned on all sides. While cooking the sausage, break up the larger chunks into smaller pieces. When lightly browned, remove from pan to a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess fat. Whisk the eggs, milk, dry mustard, onion powder, salt, pepper: In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, dry mustard, onion powder, salt and pepper. Layer bread, cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms in casserole dish, top with egg mixture: Place the cubed bread in a well buttered 9x13" baking pan. Sprinkle with cheese. Sprinkle with chopped tomatoes and mushrooms if using. Top with the browned crumbled sausage. Pour the egg milk mixture evenly over the bread and cheese. If making ahead, cover and chill over night or bake for one hour. Let sit for 10 minutes before putting in the oven. Preheat oven to 325°. Bake uncovered for about one hour. Tent with foil if the top begins to brown too quickly.
