Technically the name is Arancini di Riso. It sounds a little romantic for Arancini Stuffed Risotto Balls, doesn’t it? Especially since they are so often made from leftovers!

Fried Green Tomatoes with Spicy Remoulade

Fried Green Tomatoes with Spicy Remoulade

I have family that lives in the South and have visited Georgia many times. I’ve been to Atlanta as well as a few outlying areas. I’ve been to Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and North and South Carolina, Louisiana, Texas, and Florida. I’ve been to Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland. But never once while I’ve been in the South, have I ever had Fried Green Tomatoes, let alone Fried Green Tomatoes with Spicy Remoulade Sauce.

Steak Chimichanga with Green Chili Verde Sauce

Steak Chimichanga with Green Chili Verde Sauce

This Steak Chimichanga with Green Chili Verde Sauce is one of my favorite recipes, and it came from leftover steak. Who has leftover steak, anyway? I don’t know about you, but certainly not at my house, where steak is a bit of a rarity. At my folks’? Yeah. Quite frequently. A love of beef (they live in ranching country) and smaller appetites often lead to a bit of steak that could easily languish in the fridge.
