'Belgium' Is Not a Dirty Word

For this week's dinners, I made a big batch of rizotto corine, which (according to my cookbook) is a Belgian dish. It's one of those kitchen-sink dishes: rice, chicken, bacon, onion, green peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, sweet corn, and various spices, all fried up together and separately and then set to simmer in chicken broth.

I know I've made it before, but I didn't remember just how good it is. I've eaten two helpings today, and I've still got one or two helpings left. I'll have to go grocery shopping tomorrow, though. Next weekend is the annual summer get-together for my family, and I'll be gone Friday to Monday, so I'll go with frozen dinners after the rizotto runs out.

Still haven't broken out the slow-cooker, but I'm thinking I'll make mmegaera's quasi-gumbo next time I get around to cooking.
