    First you will need to brown the rice. In order to do this, you will need to add a half cup of cooking oil to a two quart sauce pan (a larger pan will work, but the rice will have more room to cook, therefore it will cook faster and take less time). Next, pre-heat the oil on medium heat for about two minutes. Then add two cups of long grain rice to the pre-heated oil. (I prefer Mahatma Jasmine long grain rice because it cooks fluffier and it looks better) Continue to cook the rice on medium heat, stirring often with a large spoon. While the rice is browning, chop a small tomato and half of a medium onion. When the rice starts to brown, you will need to stir the rice more frequently. The rice will burn if you fail to stir it often or have the heat too high. The rice will be a golden brown color when it is ready for the next process. Browning the rice usually takes about fifteen minutes.…

    Foie Gras

    Not many people may know what foie gras is, but the controversy surrounding it has left an enormous mark in the culinary world. Foie gras is considered a French delicacy that is made up of the liver of a duck or goose that has been specifically fattened. The dish itself is not reason of debate, but rather, it is the technique that is used to create this delicacy. The fattening of the duck or goose is typically achieved through force-feeding the animal with corn. More specifically, workers are jam pipes down male ducks’ or geese’s throats up to three times daily and force as many as four pounds of fat and grain into the animals’ stomachs. This causes the bird’s livers to bloat and expand up to ten times their natural size. Due to their enlarged and heavy livers, many birds struggle to stand on their own and some even rip out their own feathers and eat each other out of stress. This sparks the argument of whether or not this is animal cruelty.…
