PINCH TOES RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or saucepan, over medium-high heat, sauté the sausage, beef, and livers until no pink remains. Drain all but 3 Tbsp from the pan. (If sausage is very lean add bacon grease or butter to pan to make 3 Tbsp.)
• Add the bell pepper, onions, and celery. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
• Cook for 5-7 minutes until the veggies begin to soften and brown. Add the rice, green onions, and garlic; continue to stir for 1-2 minutes until the rice begins to toast or turn brown.
• Add the worcestershire sauce, beef & chicken stock, creole seasoning, sage, and bay leaves. Mix well, turn the heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Cook until the rice is fully tender and the broth has been absorbed. Stir well and remove from heat, then stir in the chopped parsley.
• *Cooks Notes: Don't let the Sage scare you off because you don't taste the small amount of sage in this recipe but it does make a difference in the taste, so don't leave it out. I personally do not like sage in anything, but this recipe is the exception. Some people like to put diced pork or Andouille sausage in their Dirty Rice, which is fine - almost anything goes, however, adding sausage or tomatoes will lean the dish towards a Jambalaya. Dirty Rice shouldn't be too wet or gummy, the grains should separate easily and still be moist enough to hold together on your fork.

Steps:

• 1. Rinse the scallops under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels until they are completely dry. Season both sides of the scallops with salt. 2. In a large skillet over low heat, heat the oil and garlic. Saut� until the garlic is browned and fragrant, about 2 minutes, then use a slotted spoon to remove it. 3. Increase the heat to medium-high. When the skillet is very hot and the oil is shimmering, add the scallops, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Sear the scallops until they develop a golden crust, about 2 minutes, then flip and sear until they are barely opaque, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a paper towel?lined plate. 4. Wipe out any burned areas on the pan, then return it to medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the lime juice and 2 tablespoons water to the pan and cook, scraping up any browned bits. Add the butter, corn, tomatoes, lime zest and a generous pinch of salt. Cook until the toma�toes give off their juices and the sauce thickens, about 4 minutes. Stir in the chives. Taste, adding more salt and lime juice if necessary. Spoon a generous helping of the corn suc�cotash onto individual plates, top with the scallops and serve.
