company with its rich, creamy goodness in every bite! The additions of
fennel, leek, garlic, and fresh herbs add a delightful depth of flavors
to the dish.

Lemon Risotto with Spring Vegetables
This a delicious and wonderful
risotto when the spring asparagus and peas are available. The
ingredients list is long, so have everything read to go (Mise en Place)
and then all it takes is about 20 to 25 minutes from stove to table.

Mushroom Risotto with Fresh Thyme
This risotto goes well with my
Lemony Buttermilk Baked Chicken. It also is great with grilled steaks and seafood.
Oxtails in Caramelized Gravy
Making a good oxtail is all
in the cooking, and it does take some cooking. This is not a quick dish by any
means, and if it were it would not be nearly as good. So to help introduce you to a
meat that is absolutely wonderful when made correctly, I want to share with you
my recipe for Oxtails. No one will even realize that they are eating what some
may consider “leftovers”. If you have never eaten
oxtails, I hope you will take a chance on these. They are most definitely worth
trying! And it just isn’t me who says that.

Dinner Group that delights in making wonderful foods that they share
together.

Paella Valenciana
Paella is built up from four basic
elements: seafood and meat, sofrito, rice, and broth. The
proteins can by any combination of shellfish, meats, and sausage. I used a
chicken breast, shrimp, and Portuguese chourico (chorizo). The sofrito
consists of sautéed onions, garlic, and tomatoes (sometimes with the
addition of pepper). For variety and because I needed to use it up, I
used a leek along with the garlic and tomatoes.
