Right. It's just like Ina's recipe for Seafood Paella.
Except, where she used lobster, I used chicken (or Veat). She used chicken stock (home-made, no less), I used vegetable.
Her recipe calls for kielbasa. I used chorizo in Matt's, and Boca Italian 'sausages' for mine.
Ina adds a bit of her favorite flavor in the whole wide world, fennel aka licorice, in the form of Pernod. I used white wine.

- Summer Jambalaya

- That Would Be A 'miss'
As much as I love Indian food, I don't often make it at home. It can be a lot of work...although, generally, worth every minute. Over the past couple of years, I've acquired Suvir Saran's books, Indian Home Cooking & American Masala. Many,...
- On The 3rd Day Of Christmas
Because of schedules, we actually celebrated Christmas three times. Once at home, with just the three of us, again a few days later with Matt's family, and a final time this past Saturday when my family came up for the afternoon. The Biltmore keeps...
