Steps:
- Combine water, broth, and salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer (do not boil). Keep broth mixture warm over low heat.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add rice, cumin, and garlic; sauté 1 minute. Stir in 1/2 cup broth mixture; cook 2 minutes or until the liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly. Add remaining broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each portion of liquid is absorbed before adding the next (about 20 minutes total).
- Stir in the onions, cheese, hot sauce, corn, cilantro and red peppers; cook 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Taste and add additional salt if needed and black pepper if desired.

Steps:
- Melt the coconut oil in a 10-inch, high-sided saute pan over medium heat. Add the brown rice, stir to coat, and allow to toast, about 1 minute. Carefully (in case it flames) add the 1/4 cup bourbon, stirring to fully incorporate. Once the bourbon is mostly absorbed, add the broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Wait until the liquid has evaporated, before adding another 1/2 cup. (You will have to babysit this a bit, but just be patient.) After you have added about 4 cups of the broth, add the broccoli, asparagus and peas. Continue adding the broth in 1/2 cup increments; you will notice the mixture starting to thicken. Stir and add the remaining broth. When the rice is tender, after about 45 minutes, stir in the goat cheese, orange zest, orange juice, and the remaining 1 tablespoon bourbon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
SOUTHWESTERN SAFFRON RISOTTO WITH MEAT AND MUSHROOMS
Steps:
- Soak the saffron in 3 tablespoons warm water.
- Bring 4 cups water and the chicken broth to a boil in a small saucepan. Keep warm but not boiling, and stir in the saffron with its water.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of the goose fat or olive oil in a heavy frying pan, such as a Dutch oven, toss in the onion, and sauté until golden. Pour in the white wine, and cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Scatter the rice over the onion, and stir until it becomes pearly white and shiny. Ladle on a quarter of the warm bouillon, and simmer while stirring until it is absorbed.
- Continue cooking the rice while stirring, adding a ladleful of the liquid at a time and letting it be absorbed before adding another ladleful, about 20 minutes total.
- Heat the remaining goose fat or olive oil in a small frying pan. Add the diced goose or turkey breast and mushrooms, and stir while cooking until the mushrooms are cooked through. Stir in the fresh thyme, and set aside until the risotto is done.
- Fold the meat and mushrooms into the risotto, add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, cover, and let sit for a minute or two. Sprinkle with the parsley, and serve warm.

Steps:
- Warm the chicken stock in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, cover and keep warm while you make the risotto.
- Heat the olive oil in another medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallot, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the bay leaves and 3 tablespoons butter, stirring until the butter has melted, about 1 minute.
- Add the rice and toast, stirring only once, until it smells nutty and starts to turn light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Pour in the wine and simmer, stirring occasionally, until it has evaporated completely, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Ladle one cup of the warm stock into the rice and cook, stirring gently without stopping, until the rice has absorbed the liquid, 2 to 3 minutes (you will know it's time to add more stock when you move the rice aside and no liquid pools in the center).
- Repeat this process, adding more stock a ladleful at a time, until the rice is al dente, 17 to 19 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. (You may have a little stock left over. If so, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.) If you prefer your risotto on the saucier side, add more stock 1/4 cup at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
- Stir in the Parmesan, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt and a few more grinds of black pepper and serve with more Parmesan, if desired.
