Crispy Rice Recipe Bobby Flay

ADOBO SEASONED CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Mix together the salt, granulated garlic, cumin, granulated onion, paprika, black pepper, turmeric and oregano in a small bowl. Season both sides of the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and then season with the adobo seasoning mixture.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Place the chicken in the oil skin side down, in batches, if necessary, and saute until golden brown. Turn the chicken over and cook until the second side is golden brown. Transfer the chicken to into a separate pot with all cooking juices, cover and allow to cook through over medium heat. Keep warm.
• Place the browning pan with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil back over high heat. Add the onions, green and red peppers and cook until soft. Add the tomato powder, garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the rice to the pan, stir to coat the rice in the mixture and cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken stock, bay leaf, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Stir well, cover, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes add the peas to the pot, cover and continue cooking until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and let sit 5 minutes covered. Remove the lid, fluff the rice and gently fold in the olives, cilantro, parsley, oregano and squeeze of lime juice. Add the chicken and stir to combine.

BOBBY FLAY'S CRISPY COCONUT SCALLION RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the coconut milk, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to boil over high heat. Stir in the rice and bring back to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender, about 18 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and let sit, covered for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Spread the rice in an even layer over a large baking sheet and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. The rice can be made up to 24 hours in advance; store it on a baking sheet, covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator.
• Combine the rice and scallions in a large bowl. Heat the oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick pan over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the rice and, using a heavy-duty metal spatula, immediately press the rice down into the pan until the top is flat. Cook, without stirring, until the bottom has become golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes (start checking at 4 minutes, making sure not to burn it). Turn the rice over and press down firmly on the top again. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with more scallions, and serve.

CRISPY RICE

Steps:

• Bring water and salt to a boil in a large stockpot over high heat. Meanwhile, place rice in a colander and rinse with cold water until water runs clear, about 1 minute.
• Add rinsed rice to boiling water. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is almost tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain rice and immediately rinse with cold water until rice is room temperature, about 1 minutes.
• Place 1 cup cooked rice in a medium bowl with sour cream; stir to combine. Heat 2 tablespoons butter and oil in a well-seasoned 10-inch cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until just melted. Spread rice and sour cream mixture in an even layer in bottom of skillet. Spoon remaining cooled rice on top, being sure to mound rice slightly towards the center, while still allowing rice to touch edges of skillet. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke 6 to 7 holes in the rice, going all the way to the bottom of the skillet to allow steam to escape. Cook 15 minutes, turning skillet on burner a quarter turn every 3 to 4 minutes to ensure even browning.
• Cut remaining butter into small cubes. Add butter cubes around edges of rice and in steam holes after 15 minutes of cooking. Continue to cook over medium-low and turn skillet a quarter turn every 3 to 4 minutes until bottom and sides of rice are golden and crisp, another 15 to 18 minutes.
• Remove from heat and cover skillet with a large plate or serving platter (right side down). Carefully but swiftly (and with confidence!) invert rice in skillet onto serving plate. Serve warm.

GREEN RICE

Steps:

• Combine the broth and chiles in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil, and then partially cover and simmer gently over medium to medium-low heat for about 10 minutes. Pour the chile mixture into a food processor, add 1/4 cup cilantro and process to a smooth puree. Season with salt and keep warm.
• Wipe the pan clean, add the oil, and heat over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the rice and cook for 1 minute. Add the warm broth mixture, stir, and season with salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes, covered. Fluff with a fork, transfer to a bowl, and stir in remaining cilantro.

CRISPY RICE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil.
• Place the rice in a large bowl, rinse with cold water and drain in a colander until the water runs totally clear. Drain well.
• Add the rice to the pot and boil until the grains are soft on the outside but still hard at the center, about 6 minutes. Drain the rice and rinse under cold water.
• Measure out 1 1/4 cups of the parcooked rice and transfer to a bowl; stir in the yogurt, the 1 tablespoon melted butter and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Melt the oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter together over medium-low heat in a 2- to 3-quart nonstick pot with a tight-fitting lid. Add the yogurt rice and spread it evenly to cover the bottom of the pot. Add the remaining rice, mounding it into a pyramid shape. Insert the handle of a wooden spoon into the mound 3 or 4 times to make vents for steam to escape. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook until the rice starts to steam, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot, first with a clean towel and then with a lid. Steam until the rice is fully cooked and a golden brown crust has formed on the bottom, about 50 minutes.
• Spoon the loose rice onto a platter, then use a firm spatula to remove the crust from the pan. Top the rice with the crust and sprinkle with the parsley and sumac if using. Serve immediately.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH CRISPY RICE AND GREEN BEANS VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Preheat a wood-fired or regular oven to 400 degrees F.
• Coat the bottom of a 14-inch cast-iron pan with canola oil and turn on the heat to medium-high. Meanwhile, portion the rice into 4 flattened discs, about 3/4 cup each. Once the oil is heated, add the rice cakes and cook until golden brown and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes for each side.
• Add the haricots verts to the boiling water and cook until slightly softened and brightened in color, about 2 minutes. Immediately transfer the haricots to an ice water bath until cool to the touch. Slice each haricot into thin rings. Transfer to a bowl and dress with some Fish Sauce Vinaigrette. Fold in the tobiko and set aside.
• Prepare the fish for the grill by rubbing the fillets with olive oil and sprinkling with salt and pepper. Rub the grill grates with an oiled towel and lay the fillets down. Cook with the grill open until you have nice grill marks and the fish releases easily from the grill, 5 to 7 minutes on the first side. Flip and let cook another 5 minutes. Remove the fish to a sheet tray. Transfer to the oven until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Place the crispy rice cakes on a platter and top with the grilled halibut fillets. Drizzle the Vinaigrette over the fish and around the platter. Garnish each halibut fillet with a teaspoon of the tobiko and a few sprigs of the wood sorrel and serve.
• Whisk together the olive oil, fish sauce, rice wine vinegar, honey, sugar, chives, curry powder, ginger, sesame oil, chile, garlic, lime zest and juice in a small bowl until combined.

S'MORES CRISPY RICE TREATS

Steps:

• Set aside 1 cup marshmallows, 3/4 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers to top the treats with.
• Lightly spray an 8-inch square metal baking pan with nonstick spray. Cut out an 8-inch-wide strip of parchment paper and use it to line the pan, leaving enough overhang on the sides so you can use the flaps to lift out the treats. Lightly spray the parchment with nonstick spray.
• In a large nonstick pot over medium heat, add the butter. Swirl around until melted, then dump in the marshmallows. Stir gently with a spatula until the marshmallows have completely melted, about 90 seconds. Remove the pot from the heat, then add the rice cereal and stir until combined. Let cool slightly, then add the crushed graham crackers and fold in gently. Add the chocolate chips and mix just barely until folded in (if you mix too much, the chocolate will melt completely).
• Dump the mixture into the lined pan and press down gently so the mixture is evenly distributed in the pan. While still warm, sprinkle with the reserved marshmallows, reserved chocolate chips and reserved crushed graham crackers. Using a creme brulee torch, toast the marshmallows and melt the chocolate evenly, using a sweeping motion so the marshmallows don't catch fire, about 45 seconds.
• Allow to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Slice into squares using a warm, sharp knife and serve.
