LONG GRAIN WHITE RICE WITH CORN, PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• If using fresh corn: After removing the husks and silk, cut the kernels from the cobs using a sharp knife (being careful not to cut into the cob itself). Place the kernels into a bowl and using the knife, scrape up and down the shaft of the cob (over the bowl of corn) extracting the natural "corn cream". If using canned or frozen corn, simply begin with step #2.
• To saute the vegetables: Melt the butter (or heat the oil) in a 2 1/2 quart heavy bottomed sauce pot (one that comes with a tight fitting lid). When hot, add the onions and garlic and saute for 3 minutes. Add the green pepper and saute until all the vegetables are softened and very fragrant, about 5 minutes over meduimlow heat.
• To toast the rice: If using an "aromatic" rice, rinse it through a sieve (medium mesh) and drain well (see note). Add the rice and cook over medium heat, stirring to coat the rice with the butter and vegetables. Cook for about 3 minutes or until the rice is dry and beginning to turn golden.
• To simmer (see note): Add the hot broth and return to a boil. Stir in the corn (whether fresh, drained canned or frozen), and bring back to a boil. Cover the pot and turn the heat to low. Simmer over a low flame for exactly 17 minutes without lifting the lid.
• To "settle" and serve: Uncover and add a good amount of fresh pepper and some salt to taste. If desired, stir in 1 tablespoon of additional butter or margarine. Fluff with a fork, and cover the pot. Allow the rice to settle for 3 to 5 minutes to absorb any excess moisture. Serve hot.
• Time Management Tips:
• 1) For extra ease of preparation when assembling, all listed fresh vegetables can be chopped as much as one day ahead and kept refrigerated in separate (well covered) bowls.
• 2) The stock can be made months ahead and kept frozen in securely covered, heavy freezer containers.
• "Variation" Tips:
• 1) Changing the type of stock can give your rice dish a totally different taste and (at times) color. Choose your stock according to your menu and don't be afraid to mix different types of stock,vegetables (and herbs) to create an even more complex flavor. Also, always thaw more stock than you'll need so you can boil it down until the volume is reduced (which will concentrate the flavor).
• Some winning combinations of stock: Beef and chicken, chicken and shrimp, veal and beef, veal and chicken or chicken and fish.
• Tips From a Teacher:
• The most renown type of aromatic rice is Basmati rice which (once grown only in Pakistan and India), is now also grown here in the United States. This type of rice is special (although pricey) not only for it's nutty, butterlike and seductive flavor, but during cooking, the grains swell much more in length than in width, making the feel of the cooked rice more distinctive in the mouth. Basmati rice is also lower in starch which encourages the grains to remain separate.
• Jasmine rice, another long grain white rice once grown exclusively in Thailand, is now also grown here and the flavor is similar to Basmati although the texture is somewhat softer when cooked. The other readilyavailable types of aromatic rice are grown here and come in both white, tan and brown varieties. All of the new domestic breeds of rice are an attempt to duplicate the flavor and aroma of Basmati, at a more affordable price. They can be identified as Texmati, Wehani and Popcorn rice (also called Wild Pecan rice). These are all delicious and lend their own unique characteristics to the finished dish.

Add corn; sauté until corn is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Vinaigrette and corn mixture can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately; chill. Rewarm corn mixture over medium heat and rewhisk vinaigrette before using.)
• Bring 2 1/4 cups water to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Rinse rice in strainer. Add rice and § teaspoon salt to boiling water. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until water is absorbed and rice is tender (do not stir), about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with fork.
• Mix rice, corn mixture and pecans in large bowl. Mix in vinaigrette and watercress. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.

WILD RICE AND SAUSAGE CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• 1. Cook rice according to package directions but omit any oil or fat additions. Simply add whatever water is directed. Set aside. I usually do the microwave instructions and leave it in there until I'm ready to add to soup.
• 2. In a heavy bottomed soup pot (same one you plan on cooking soup in), add 1 tbsp olive oil and cook sausage until no longer pink. You can leave it in links and slice into thin slices after you cook it or you can open the links and saute sausage like ground beef. I prefer the links, it helps the sausage stand out!
• 3. While sausage is cooking. Small dice onion, carrots, celery, and bell pepper and chop garlic. Set aside.
• 4. Once sausage is finished cooking, remove from pot and set aside. Add remaining olive oil and diced vegetables, chopped garlic and cumin to pot. Saute/sweat veggies until slightly softened and starting to carmelize.
• 5. While vegetables are cooking you can slice sausage into thin bite size disks about 1/4 inch thick. Add sausage back to pot with all chicken broth and frozen corn.
• 6. Simmer soup for 30 minutes.
• 7. Reduce to low and add half and half and chopped cilantro. Add as much or as little as you like just before serving is best.
• 8. This makes a thinner chowder. If you prefer a thick creamy chowder simply add a tablespoon or so of flour to vegetable mixture when it's done, right before you add broth. Stir flour to incorporate and coat mixture cooking slightly. And then continue with chicken broth and frozen corn addition from step 5. Once you add the half and half simmer for 10 minutes to thicken and go to step 6. :)
