Don’t know the story on the name, but the Hahn’s probably will. This is a year-round craved side dish for those Christmas tamales! Melt in your mouth, and super easy.
Until I find the original recipe, you can ad-lib this one! You CANNOT go wrong here.
White rice, cooked. 3-6 cups.
Tub of Sour cream. Might as well use the fatty stuff.
The biggest block of Monterey Jack cheese you can find, shredded.
Diced or sliced green chiles in can. Save juice for the rice water!
Instructions
Cook the rice. Use a rice cooker and save yourself the drama. Let cool.
Mix with entire tub of sour cream.
Layer in heavy casserol dish: rice, cheese, chiles, and repeat.
Top with cheese.
Bake 220 for 20 minutes to melt cheese, covered. Broil 5 min to brown cheese.
Notes
I prefer arborio rice, but cheap uncle bens white rice works great. I also get a kick out of the Herdez green chiles, but mostly because I get a little giggle when I see the “GLUTEN FREE!!” branding on it.
A pancake-like treat made from the meat juice of a holiday roast. A family tradition and special holiday treat that many generations of the McHugh’s have been known to literally fight over, and quite possibly the cause of heart conditions in the genepool too. Be careful with instructions! This one takes time and practice to perfect.
Scale
Ingredients
Drippings from a holiday roast such as a standing rib roast. Hopefully, it was cooked in a pan that has an edge approx 2″ or more in height.
3/4 C flour (less if gluten free flour and it should be a flour that rises well)
1/2 tbs salt
2 Eggs
1 C Milk
Instructions
Remove roast to cool. Scrape out garlic or roast drippings that are not liquid form. Keeping liquid drippings in pan, re-heat in oven at 425.
Beat thoroughly all other ingredients starting with flour and salt, then eggs, then milk slowly to moisten.
Pour into hot pan with drippings, and carefully swish and swirl (technical jargon for Perrin chefs) around pan so it will rise up the edges. *Imagine when you crack an egg into a hot pan and how the whites of the egg spreads and cooks..you want that to happen here as much as possible.
Bake in oven at 400 (lower temp) for 20-30 minutes or until crispy and golden. Serve immediately.
Notes
If you are the type of person who takes a piece of bread and wipes your plate clean with it after a steak, you will LOVE this.
