=== Ricelada ===

I made some Spanish rice the other night that Kim didn't like too much. It was froma  package. I didn't mind it, but it was sitting in the fridge in the elftover bin. I decided to try spcing it up by making it into a kind of enchilada. At Rudy's, I usualy order a cheese enchilada, and I always like eating the rice where the cheese and the enchilada sauce mix together. So I decided to make one big rice enchilada-like thing. Slice onions, brown in a pan. turn off and add leftover rice. While the heat is exchanging, prepare enchilada sauce, use some chicken broth, dry peppers, heat and sit, blend into a sauce, add a little vinegar. Pour sauce around edge of pan, grate cheese on top, broil until cheese is melted.

=== Fish Stew ===

spice with celery salt or that red stuff[[BR]]
1 can of vegetable broth, or chicken broth[[BR]]

=== Ratatouille ===
dice eggplant, sprinkle with salt in collander, set for 30 minutes[[BR]]
saute zucchini in hot olive oil, add a dash of salt, set aside in bowl[[BR]]
the oil should be hot enough to really sear the vegetables, saute them until they just get a light brown glaze[[BR]]
repeat for mushrooms (but add some butter too)[[BR]]
repeat for eggplant[[BR]]
add more oil again, and saute onions, after a few minutes add the garlic[[BR]]
when the onions are getting translucent and soft, add marinara sauce (1 cup) and a can of diced tomatoes. Once warm, add back all the other vegetables. When hot, serve over brown rice.
