Chorizo and Pearl Barley Risotto

Pearl Barley, when cooked right, has kind of a risotto type texture. Ingredients: 1 - Package of Spanish Chorizo (Sweet, Hot or Extra Hot) 1 - Onion (Diced) 2 - Cloves of Garlic (Chopped) 1 - Can of Diced Tomatoes 1 to 1.5 - Litres of Chicken stock 1/2 - Tsp of Salt 1/2 - Tsp of Pepper Directions: Heat chorizo over medium heat until browned (4 - 5 minutes). Remove chorizo, leaving all the juice, add your chopped onion, garlic and some olive oil. Cook for 3 - 5 minutes. While the onion is cooking, rinse the pearl barley. Open a can of diced tomatoes. Add the tomatoes to the frying pan. Add the pearl barley. Add salt, pepper, 1 litre of chicken stock and mix together. Increase the heat to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer. Stir occasionally while continuing to add chicken stock until the barley is plump and tender. I had to add about an extra cup of chicken stock. After 30 - 40 minutes, the barley should be finish...

Caveman Pops (aka Roasted Chicken Legs)

The other night I posted on Facebook that I was going to make my Slow Cooker Balsamic Shredded Roast Beef for dinner. One of my friends commented that I should checkout "Pioneer Woman Cooks - her spicy beef, it is amazing and great comfort food for this cold weather". I checked out the site ( link here ) and I found so many amazing looking things! I also love how she talks about her cooking, its the same way I do, like I'm talking to my best friend about it. Oh and I have to give credit where credit is due, here is the original recipe from thepioneerwoman.com Ingredients (Brine): 8 - Chicken Legs 8 - Cups Water 1/2 - Cup Brown Sugar 1/2 - Cup Sugar 1/3 - Cup Kosher Salt 2 - Tbsp Seasoning Blend 1 - Bay Leaf Ingredients (Dry Rub): 2 - Tsp Seasoning Blend 2 - Tsp Paprika 2 - Tsp Onion Soup Mix 1 - Tsp Chili Powder Directions: Combined Brown Sugar, Sugar, Salt and Seasoning Blend (Brown Sugar into bowl) These next couple picture didn't tu...

Mushroom and Potato Soup

Mushroom Soup is on the menu! Ingredients: 1 - Container of Mushrooms 1 - Small Onion 3 - Cloves of Garlic 3 - Tbsp Olive Oil 4 - Small to Medium Potatoes 2 - Tsp of Salt (sounds like a lot but it really brings our the flavors) 1/2 - Tsp of Pepper 5 - Cups of Water (use 4 for a thicker soup) Directions: Since we will be blending everything at the end, there is no need to dice everything. I usually just thinly slice so it will cook a little quicker. Slice the Mushrooms. Chop the Onion. Dice the Garlic. Add the Mushrooms, Onion and Garlic to a large stock pot. Coat with the Olive Oil and turn to a low-medium temperature. While the Mushroom mixture is starting too cook, peel and slice the potatoes. Once the Mushroom mixture has browned and started to release juices (5 - 7 minutes) add in the potatoes and mix everything together. Add in the water (I use warm water so it will boil quicker), raise the temperature to high and bring to a boi...
