I couldn't see any recipes....do you have to order the book or download (somehow) a pdf file??? Or am I missing something here??

I probably shouldn't post this - I've never tried it, but you sent me on a search!! This does sound good.

Rice with Chicken: Arroz con Pollo Recipe courtesy Alex Garcia





1 (3 pound) chicken cut into 8 pieces, skin removed
Salt and pepper
1 lime, juiced
1/2 cup pure Spanish olive oil
1 onion, small dice
1 green pepper, small dice
1 roasted red pepper, small dice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup prepared tomato sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup dry white wine
12 ounces beer
1/2 cup sherry
3 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups Valencia rice, soaked in cold water for 1 hour
5 saffron threads
1 cup frozen sweet peas

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and lime juice. In a large casserole or dutch oven, heat the olive oil. Brown the chicken, remove the chicken from the pan, and set aside.

Add the onions, peppers, and garlic to the casserole. Cook until translucent. Add the tomato sauce, cumin, and bay leaf; cook for another 5 minutes. Add the chicken, wine, beer, and sherry, and cook for 5 to 8 minutes. Add the stock, bring to a boil, and adjust the seasoning. Add the drained rice and the saffron.

Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, and cook in the oven for 20 minutes.

Remove the rice from the oven and add the peas, fluffing the rice and mixing in the peas at the same time. Serve hot.

Duh, me. I forget that you need to have the ebook or, like I have the little spiral bound one. Some sample recipes are on the site tho' and some yummy looking pix too.
One very useful thing to me was her "Mexican Pantry" area. Everything she suggested has turned out to be right on.
