 Drachona - An Old-World Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 quart whole milk

• 3⁄4 cup rice

• 1⁄4 tsp salt

• 1⁄2 cup raisins

• 1⁄2 tsp sugar or more

• 1⁄4 cube butter

• 3 eggs

Instructions:

1. Bring milk to a boil, add rice slowly, stirring constantly. Add salt and sugar, stirring occasionally. Cook until rice is done, about 1⁄2 hour. Check for doneness. Cool.

2. Separate eggs and beat whites until they stand in peaks. Add slightly beaten egg yolks to the rice mixture and blend well. Fold in egg whites gently and add raisins.

3. Pour into well-buttered 8” x 8” glass pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1⁄2 hour or until a knife comes out clean when inserted.

4. Serve hot with sour cream or hot butter melted in cream. Honey is a good topper.

Cut into 6 servings.

The recipe can be doubled. Place the batter into a 9” x 13” buttered glass baking dish. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees, or until golden brown. 

To reheat, stir the Drachona in a bit of milk or cream. YUMMY!

Ingredients : 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 blocks 8 oz. cream cheese 2 one-oz. packets of dry ranch seasoning 8 oz. bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional) Instructions: 1. In a slow cooker, place chicken, cream cheese, and ranch seasoning. Add 3-4 tbsp. water. 2. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, until chicken shreds easily. 3. Once the chicken is shredded, stir with a large fork or spoon to combine the other ingredients. Note: The cream cheese may appear to be curdling, but once it's mixed with other ingredients, it will be fine. 4. Add crumbled bacon if desired. 5. Serve hot with your rolls of choice.
