The Chef!

I just made a new tasty dish that you all will love for Thanksgiving. It is a special Thanksgiving rice with cheese sauce recipe.

Sorry, I do not cook by measuring things…so some of these are approximate amounts.

Start out by making a two cups of Chai tea with whatever brand you use. Now put one cup of long grain brown rice in a pan and add the chai tea, cook as you would cook rice.

Now you need about a cup worth of Chestnuts. take a knife and make X’s on them and then roast them for about a half hour in the oven at 375 or 400. You will see the shell curl where cut. Once done take them out and remove the shells, make sure to get the inner covering off too. Then mash the Chestnuts.

While cooking all of this whip up a nice cheese sauce. Three pats of butter melted in a sauce pan, then add a tablespoon of flour to make the rue. Add a half cup of milk and heat over a medium heat for a few minutes. Now add about a cup of grated cheese. I prefer a mix of Mozzarella and a nice smoked cheese, either Gouda or Cheddar. About one quarter smoked and three quarters not should work nicely. Mix the cheese in until it melts and you have a nice sauce consistency, not too runny. If it is runny add more cheese, too thick add more milk.

Now mix the rice, cheese sauce, and chestnuts together. Yummmy! I recommend organic ingredients if possible.

To make this dish into a sweeter one…bake an acorn squash and stuff the mix into the middle when done. Also great but different.
