Creamy Rice with Salmon

I got this rice with salmon (arroz con salmon) recipe from a food blog written by a Columbian woman.  I’m so sorry I’ve lost track of the url of that web site but I made a lot of changes to the recipe anyway, so it barely resembles the original.

I removed several ingredients, changed several others, and used leftovers to compile the dish instead of creating it from scratch.  It was surprisingly good!  I served it with sautéed beet greens but I recommend choosing a side veggie that’s more neutral in flavor, like broccoli or green beans.  The beet greens were good but the strong flavor overpowered the more subtle taste of the rice dish.

  2. Coat a 5-6 qt slow cooker with olive oil. Place red onion slices in a layer in the bottom of cooker, then place roast on top of onions.
  3. Rub potatoes with oil and wrap each potato individually in parchment paper. Arrange on top of roast. Cover and cook on LOW 8 hours or until tender.
  4. Unwrap potatoes; Cut each potato in half crosswise and split each half lengthwise, cutting to but not through the other side. Squeeze each potato half to open for stuffing. Shred roast with 2 forks, and stir to combine with onion mixture.
  5. Top each potato piece with 1/3 cup beef mixture, 1 tablespoon cheese, 1 tablespoon sour cream or yogurt. Then sprinkle with green onions, and salt and pepper to taste. Note: Each 1/2 potato makes one serving. Depending on how many people you are serving you can save the remaining potatoes and beef for later in the week.

Healthier French Fries

Healthier French Fries

I love both regular french fries and sweet potato fries, so I created this recipe for healthier french fries to make both at the same time without deep frying.

I used my Breville Oven which has an air fryer, but if you don’t have an air fryer you can use a roasting pan with a wire rack in it. Convection heat is best because it gives the fries more even crispness.

The trick is to start at a lower heat to cook the potatoes, then end on a higher heat to crisp up the outside. Continue reading “Healthier French Fries” →
