JAMBASTA

Steps:

• Heat a pot of water to a boil for pasta and add salt to it then pasta. Cook to al dente and drain.
• While pasta works, heat a deep skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, butter and andouille. Brown the sausage 2 to 3 minutes to render the fat. Remove with a slotted spoon. Add garlic, peppers, celery and onions. Saute the veggies for 5 to 6minutes. Season the mixture with salt and pepper and add flour to the pan. Cook flour with veggies 2 minutes more then whisk in beer. Cook beer out, 2 minutes. Add chicken stock, tomatoes, hot sauce and thyme. Bring liquid to a bubble and add chicken and shrimp. Cook 6 to 7 minutes until chicken is firm and shrimp are opaque and firm. Stir to mix in cooking juices then add in cream. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Ladle up the jambasta and top with chopped scallions and reserved crispy andouille.

BO ZAI FAN (CLAY POT RICE)

Steps:

• Place the rice in a large bowl and fill with enough cool water to cover. Gently massage the rice a few times to wash off any excess starch and drain off as much water as possible. Repeat the rinsing steps 2 more times (for a total of 3 times) or until the water runs mostly clear. Drain again.
• Place the rice in a 66-ounce (about 2-quart) clay pot (see Cook's Note). Coat the rice with 1 teaspoon of the oil. Stir in 2 1/2 cups cold water and bring to a boil, covered, over medium heat, about 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rinse the sausage under hot water until no visible white dust remains. Set aside.
• Mix the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar and white pepper in a cup. Set aside.
• Uncover the pot after it boils and gently stir with a rubber spatula to even out the rice. When the rice has absorbed most of the water, about 3 minutes longer, uncover and top with the sausage. Cover and cook over low heat until the rice is cooked, about 10 minutes.
• Leaving the lid on the pot, drizzle the remaining 3 tablespoons oil around the edge of the lid. Cook over medium heat, tilting the clay pot at different angles, to scorch the rice on the sides and bottom, about 2 minutes per angle for a total of 8 to 10 minutes. (Wear heatproof oven mitts since your hands will be close to the fire.)
• Uncover the pot and carefully transfer the sausage to a cutting board with chopsticks or tongs. Slice the sausage thinly on a slight diagonal and place the slices back on top of the hot rice. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of the seasoned soy sauce and sprinkle with the scallion. Let rest for 10 minutes, covered, to cool down a bit to release the crispy rice from the pot.
• Uncover and scrape the bottom of the pot with a spoon to mix some of the crispy rice with the fluffy rice above. Divide between 4 bowls. Enjoy piping hot, adding more seasoned soy sauce if you like.

SAUSAGE-AND-RICE TIMBALE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat and simmer, stirring once or twice, until the rice is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain, shaking the colander to remove any excess water. Spread the rice on a rimmed baking sheet and let cool.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and place a baking sheet on the middle rack. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 6 minutes. Tear the basil and add to the skillet along with the garlic and tomato paste. Increase the heat to high and cook, stirring, until the tomato paste browns, about 4 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grease the bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Coat the pan with the breadcrumbs, tapping to remove any excess. Put the eggs and all but 3 tablespoons of the pecorino cheese in a small bowl and beat with a fork. Put the cooled rice in a bowl; add the egg mixture and stir to combine.
• Transfer about two-thirds of the rice mixture to the prepared springform pan. Using moist fingers, pat the rice onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan, forming a 1/2-inch-thick layer. Place the provolone slices over the rice in the pan. Spoon about three-quarters of the sausage filling over the provolone, filling it to 1/2 inch from the top. Pat the remaining rice mixture on top to enclose the filling, then sprinkle with the remaining 3 tablespoons pecorino cheese. Put the pan on the hot baking sheet and bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool, 5 minutes.
• Run a small knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the timbale, then remove the side of the pan. Slide a spatula under the timbale and transfer it to a platter. Thin the remaining sausage filling with a splash of water and reheat. Serve with the timbale.
