Cooking Inspired by Richard Gomez from YES! Magazine August 2011

Recipe inspired from Richard Gomez from YES! Magazine August 2011 edition

I was browsing my digital copy of YES! Magazine and saw the article on celebrities recipes and this one is from Richard Gomez.  He called it baked chicken.  When I saw it and it looked easy, the ingredients are already in my kitchen, I thought of making my own version.  I added 2 ingredients from his version which is carrots and the Red Robin Seasoning.  ( You can purchase Red Robin Seasoning at any Red Robin restaurants for $5. ) and instead of putting whole onions and garlic, I sliced the onions and peeled some of the garlic to give more aroma and flavor to the chicken.  Richard Gomez baked it in 300 degrees  F for about 2 hrs, I baked mine 425 degrees F about an hour and a half until the chicken was cooked and the skin was golden brown and crispy.
This recipe turned out really well, the chicken was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside with lots of flavor.  The whole family enjoyed it.  Thank you for sharing this recipe Mr. Richard Gomez.  ( in case you get to read this! )

Ingredients and how to's:

• chicken thighs with skin
• carrots
• onions 
• garlic
• baby potatoes ( make sure you poke a hole or two so they don't burst in the oven )
• Olive Oil to drenched or coat all the ingredients with
• Season Chicken with Red Robin Seasoning front and Back
• Arrange chicken, carrots, onions, garlic and baby potatoes in the glass baking pan.
• Season with salt and pepper. 
• Bake at 425 degrees F for an hour and a half or until chicken is cooked thoroughly and the chicken skin is golden brown and crispy.
• ENJOY!

Cooking with Indo-food's BEEF RENDANG

Indo-food's Beef Rendang

A simple way to prepare Beef Rendang using Indo-food Mix.  I just added a few things to make it more tasty.   This is one meal we never get tired of.

Rendang is a dish which originated from the Minangkabau ethnic group of Indonesia,^[1] and is now commonly served across the country.^[2] One of the characteristic foods of Minangkabau culture, it is served at ceremonial occasions and to honour guests.^[3] Also popular in Malaysia and Singapore, rendang is traditionally prepared by the Malay community during festive occasions. Though rendang is sometimes described as being like a curry, and the name is sometimes applied to curried meat dishes in Malaysia, authentic rendang is nothing like a curry.^{[1] source : Wikipedia}

 fry garlic

add thinly sliced beef and brown

 

add water and bring to a boil,

continue to simmer until beef is tender

add Indo-food Rendang Mix when beef is tender
I use 2 packages of mix here because we like it
better with more sauce.

 I like to add coconut milk to make
the sauce thicker and creamier.

continue to simmer until sauce thickens

just when about done add bellpepper and onions

serve with rice and enjoy!

Recipe BAKED Barbeque RIBS

This is probably one of the easiest and delicious meal to make.  Anybody can do it. :)

Preheat oven to 450F.

Line pork ribs on a broiler pan
  and season with salt and pepper.

 Cover pork ribs with a foil and place in oven for about

1.5-2 hrs until meat is all tender and cooked.

Take the ribs out of the oven, remove foil and brush meat with desired Barbeque Sauce.

 

Put oven to broil at 425F and put ribs back in the oven to glaze. Turn ribs and do the same on the other side.  It takes about 10-15 mins on each side.  Be careful not to burn the meat.  You may add more barbeque sauce if you like.

 Cut and serve. Enjoy!

and for dessert we had Dark Chocolate Brownies topped with Walnuts from Ghirardelli.

I love this kind of brownies because they are not too sweet.
