Steps:

• GARLIC CREAM SAUCE (with OPTIONAL PARMESAN) Heat the olive oil in a sauce pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and while constantly moving it around with a wooden spoon, sauté if for 30-40 seconds or until fragrant and just beginning to turn golden. Add the heavy cream, stir, bring to gentle simmer and simmer until the sauce thickens to your liking. Remove from heat. Add the grated Parmesan (optional) and stir until it melts and blends in with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. CHORIZO CREAM SAUCE In a non-stick pan over medium heat begin to brown the chorizo while gently breaking it up with a wooden spoon. When mostly cooked through, remove any excess fat with a small spoon (may not need to). Add the heavy cream, stir, bring to simmer and cook for another couple of minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.

SIMPLE CHEESE CREAM SAUCE Add the heavy cream to a sauce pan, place on stove and heat over the highest setting of low available before you get to medium-low. Add garlic salt and dried oregano and stir. Once you observe the cream forming a skin on the surface, it is hot enough. In batches add the shredded cheese and stir to combine. Add the next batch only after the previous one has been incorporated. When the sauce is smooth, remove from the heat and serve immediately. Leftovers of this sauce must be warmed up on low, with a bit of extra heavy cream, otherwise the fat from the cheese might cause it to separate.

• To the same pot, add onions and garlic and saute until onions are soft; add tomatoes, tomato sauce, sugar and cinnamon, then stir in sherry.
• Return the chicken to the dutch oven and correct seasonings with the salt& pepper.
• Simmer for 25 minutes, adding hot water as needed, until chicken is tender (you do want this saucy as you will need a cup of sauce for the rice, plus extra to pour over the finished dish).
• (If you are using lamb, depending on the cut, cook longer as needed until the lamb is tender).
• Remove from the heat.
• In another pot, combine the chicken broth with 1 cup water and 1 cup tomato sauce in which the chicken was cooked; bring to a boil, add the rice, salt lightly, and stir.

• NOTES: I've used shoulder lamb chops, lamb stew, and shanks, but my favorite was to sometimes get a thick slice (about 1 1/2") from the leg or shoulder from a butcher; it made almost a potted lamb roast that way and was delicious sliced up and served in the same manner as the chicken.

CREAMY MEDITERRANEAN SAUCE FOR PORK, CHICKEN, OR LAMB

Steps:

• Base -- Add 2 teaspoons olive oil to your saute pan; if using non stick 1 teaspoon is fine. Heat to medium / medium high heat. Add in the onions and cook 2 minutes; then add in the capers, olives and mushrooms and cook another minute or two to combine all the flavors.
• Sauce -- Add the white wine to deglaze the pan and scrape up any bits. Cook another minute to reduce the wine. Reduce the heat to medium and add in the tomatoes, artichoke hearts and cream, stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper; go easy on the salt. Nothing more is needed.
• Simmer -- Just simmer on medium / medium low and let the sauce reduce. It will take about 10 minutes to slightly thicken. Remember this is not a THICK sauce or gravy.
• Serve -- Spoon the sauce over grilled pork, chicken or lamb. This is excellent over rice, pasta (I love orzo for this), couscous and even butter noodles. This is even excellent over a baked potato topped with feta cheese. Fresh basil makes a nice garnish if you want. ENJOY!
