madbakerThis week's Resolution Recipe: Chicken Congee.
2 roasted chicken carcasses (I used Soul Fud hippy chickens, as well as the gizzards that Galen snubbed)
1 1/2 cups short-grain rice (I used 1/2 cup brown and 1 cup white)
12 cups water
toppings to taste: soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, green onions, cilantro, bean sprouts, chili paste, etc.
Put the carcasses in a large pot. Pour water in along with the rice, bring to a boil, then turn down very low. Cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally so the rice does not stick and burn. Fish out the carcasses and cool on a plate for a bit while the rice continues to cook. Strip off any meat bits from the carcasses and return to the pot. Cook for another hour, stirring occasionally. Serve hot with toppings as desired.
What worked: It was a very good dinner when I was not feeling well. I also had it for breakfast this morning. One of the carcasses was smoked so it imparted a lot of flavor (as well as meat).
What didn't: ...this made a lot.
Will I make it again? Yes - it's something different and our freezer is already filled with stock. However, I will make a half batch next time.
