Pieman Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Welcome to the first installation of Pieman's Bachelor Chow! Many of us aren't fortunate enough to still live with our moms to cook for us or have a girlfriend who's a good cook (for anyone who knows Irish stereotypes my girlfriend is full blooded, so I'm on my own for food) so I'm going to be posting some of my VERY CHEAP yet DELICIOUS recipe's for us all. Today's Lunch Special: Chef Boyardee's Ravioli Paste! Ingredients: 1 can of canned ravioli (Chef's Suggestion - Chef Boyardee Pepperoni Pizza Ravioli) Some breadcrumbs Toast Saucepan Knife Fork Wooden Cooking Spoon (Because they're classy) Directions: Dump the ravioli in the saucepan, turn the stove on, use medium flame. Stir occasionally, directions say to heat until ravioli's are warm. Once they're warm enough to eat take your fork and your knife and mash them all up, once it's all mashed up throw in some breadcrumbs and stir it more. Just eyeball it until it's as thick as you like. Put bread in toaster, turn toaster on to your favorite setting for toast, remove from toaster, put on plate. Spoon the ravioli paste out of the saucepan and spread over toast. Enjoy! Next Weeks Bachelor Chow Recipe with Chef Pieman - Garlic Hash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyzarius Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I actually really like the sound of that. I will give it a try. Dey usually about a 30 minute soak is all you need, adds a very good flavor. I wouldnt do it with any expensive cuts though, but it sure makes the cheap **** taste damn good.

Mali Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Home made chicken and rice (cuban style) 1 package chicken thighs 1 onion cut into 4ths 3 stocks of celery cut into 1 inch pieces baby carrots 1 minced clove of fresh garlic Place all ingredients into a 5 -6 quart (medium to big) pot cover ingredients with water cover pot Boil ingredients for 45 minutes to 1 hour until meat is falling off bone remove bones and skin from mix Now you have a broth in there. place 1 bag of vigo yellow rice in the pot (this rice already is spiced) Follow instructions on back of rice bag, this might mean removing a little bit of broth from the mix to get water levels right. You cook the rice in the same pot as the boiled chicken and vegetables. Simmer for 20 minutes. Stir until desired consistency and serve (this should feed you for a week, or up to 4 people at one meal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyzarius Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Corned Beef and Cabbage. 1 Large pot 1 side of corned beef (3 - 4 lbs usually) 1 cabbage LOTS of water Fill the pot halfway with water. Set the Corned Beef in pot, boil for 3 hours, adding more water everytime the level falls below the top of the meat. Remove the done beef. Break your cababge up into eights as your beef boils. When th emeat is done, remove it from pot, replace with cabbage. Boil the cabbage until "limp" enjoy. EXTREMLY delicous, but girlfriends and wives HATE the smell usually and you will get gas!

Mali Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Should be available at a market by you somewhere http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NG332W/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0005ZUV0Y&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0YJCA05N4T7BH835076A Its pre-seasoned... which makes it easy on the recipe. I'm sure you could find unseasoned yellow rice and do it yourself, but I don't have a recipe for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindflayer Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 What's the sodium content like on that rice seasoning Mali? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mali Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I don't have a packet on me, but according to a websource, the content in a normal package is Sodium 730mg 30%, for 1/3 cup. Pretty high. However, the company offers a low sodium branded option of the same product that is Sodium 45mg 2% for 1/3 cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mali Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Another good way to do rice is get white jasmine rice, and grind a little turmeric over it. This will make it yellow, tasty, and turmeric is a wunder-kind root that is excellent for your health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
