4 T butter
6 oz pancetta
1 medium onion (diced)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup of white wine (Pinot Grigio or other dry wine)
1 1/4 cups Carnaroli or Arborio rice

Zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 cups-or more-of parmigiana reggiano or similar cheese (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat chicken broth in pot over medium heat with seafood stock stirred in, careful not to boil.

Heat olive oil and butter over medium heat in wide saucepan. Add pancetta, onion and garlic and stir until onions are translucent and pancetta starts to crisp. Add rice and stir until toasted(1 to 2 minutes). Add wine and reduce, then start adding ladlefuls of broth while stirring fairly constantly for about 18-20 minutes or until rice is al dente, making sure rice is creamy. Add lemon juice and zest and stir in. Add shrimp(seasoned with salt and pepper) and cook in the rice until cooked through. Take pan off heat, add cheese(if desired) and parsley and stir in. Enjoy…

two three 4 [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] all right welcome to the show there it is I was like what who’s he looking at he’s at the camera right there that’s what we did [Music] [Music] so stew welcome I’m Dylan Altman and this is another episode of my new cooking show Soul stew where we’ll make simple delicious food share some laughter and listen to some great music today my guest is this man got three trap one of the finest guitar players and musicians in all of Nashville Tennessee a guy I’ve done a lot of gigs with over the years and a good buddy of mine today I’ll be making a lemony shrimp risoto kind of a marriage between Guthrie’s G Coast upbringing and my New Jersey Italian food childhood he and I will also have a conversation about food and music and I’ll listen to him and his Trio play some songs and I’ll even get up and play on with them let’s do it little bit of extra virgin olive oil add about a tablesp you don’t have to add butter but as we know everything is better with butter and I mean I always add butter it’s kind of honors my mother who is French so then Panetta Italian bacon you don’t need to put this in but I like adding this it adds that combination of pork and shellfish go great together okay you want to just start crisping up The Panetta it doesn’t have to crisp up that much I’m not looking for that um I kind of like keeping it in there it’s just releasing all that fat and which what comes with the fat lots of flavor so put in my shallots and garlic all right as you can see it’s all going pretty good and then you want to add like I don’t know like about a cup of wine white wine and this is just like a Peno greo you don’t want something overpowering with the flavor I screwed up I should not have put the wine in until after I put in the rice so what you ideally want to do is after you have the uh shallots and Panetta and garlic going you put in the rice and you toast it in the pan so you know it’s not going to be ideal but I guarantee you it still going to taste pretty damn great so I got about a cup and a half about a cup and a half of uh connly rice so just a little bit more wine to do the the glazing again it’s going to cook out all of that wine is going to cook out and then the next thing we’re going to do is we’re going to take the stock here and like I said while that’s de glazing I’m going to put put in that more than Gourmet stock in there it’s just concentrated flavor take a seafood stock hello I’m John Perry and I look like Ernest Hemingway today I’m going to read from one of his greatest works it was the best of times it was the worst of times cut that’s dick man Little Jimmy Dickens said [Music] that okay so we’re making risotto you just start putting in these Ladle FS of the broth probably takes about 20 minutes usually that’s a pretty good guess uh if you want the rice to be softer you just do it a little bit longer um but I think ideally we want something Al Dente with a little bit of bite to it so you just stir here and you want it when you’re making risoto you want to you’re going to be I’m going to be camped out here for the next 20 minutes because you want to keep stirring the whole time all right so it’s been about five five six minutes or so as you can see it keep you keep adding the ladle fulls and then it reduces you want to keep your heat around medium you don’t want it to be a rapid boil otherwise it’s just going to reduce all of that stock and and you’re just going to have rice that’s kind of un too too alente you just add the ladle Fs in as they’re required as you can see if you leave it alone it just starts reducing and reducing and that’s what bulks up that Rice that’s what’s going to make it full and that with the starch being released from the carnaroli rice is going to make the creaminess I’m going to start adding a little bit of salt bit of black pepper all right we’re getting close so I’m going to squeeze in some lemon right now just want to get some lemon juice it’s going to shoot all over the place all right so now we’re going to add the shrimp right there just regular these are like 16 to 20s which means that there’s 16 to 20 of them to a pound so we just want to let it cook a little bit longer here you’re going to see you don’t want to overcook them you don’t want to make them rubbery but you just want them to cook it should take about 3 to five minutes and then we’re good to go in the meantime I’m going to add some zest so some add some extra extra lemon flavor by adding the zest all right now we’re going to add off the heat some cheese like I said this is may not be traditional but this is how we do it and you put in some parsley add some color [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] a [Music] oh [Music] [Music] know [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] n [Music] [Music] a [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] all right brother G here we are man hey man happy to be here Seafood Roto I got a little shrimp in there I’m going to throw I’m going to top it with a little bit of Parmesan regano the Undisputed king of cheeses amazing from me and you got a salad with a homemade little dressing it’s basically just olive oil and a really good vinegret my man beautiful so anyway man what do you think of this so I made a this risoto got like lemon juice and and you know good good shrimp in there and I have some Panetta which is Italian bacon and then shallots and garlic a lot of flavor going on huh there is it’s it’s it’s really good right on the shrimp is cooked perfectly you’re the shrimp guy and the risoto is it’s um it’s perfect it’s not overcooked it’s not undercooked it’s right right down awesome right down where you want to be so when you were growing up who was the food person in your house did your mom cooked your dad cooked it was there grandma like what was the thing that you guys would like if it was a a holiday or or Christmas or something what was the food you looked forward to my grandmother we I’d come home from school or and go to her house or whatever it was and she would be cooking these amazing ger dishes and she had about just off the top of my head I’d say five or six different things that she rotated throughout the week and that her house there was ice cream and there’s cookies and there’s baked goods and there’s all this stuff my great-grandmother would would make uh strudel and stuff like that and she would she would have this paper thin she would roll out and KN the dough dough and it would be over a 6ot table and it’ be hanging over the edges and it would be that thin paper thin and not a tear would that be would it be a a sweet strudel or a Savory one it could be either one it could be either one so she would do both she would do both and then my grandmother we would eat she would make fried pork chops which sounds so snitel yeah and so yeah but but it was more of a German thing it wasn’t a southern thing so we would eat these pork chops It’s amazing And then she would do uh thin pancakes where you you’re making these really thin Crepes and then you roll it up in uh in cottage cheese with peaches and syrup on it I mean it was all the German take on thing these things and so then every New Year’s she would make the tradition was everybody else is down there eating blackeyed peas and and ham we didn’t we didn’t do that she would make these giant pots like two or three of them huge pots and she would take this was my favorite thing ever was uh beef and pork meatballs with rice making making meatballs yeah and then C rolled in cabbage so stuffed what people would think they just call stuffed cabbage but it was a little different cuz you look up stuffed cabbage on the internet and it’s all red sauce yeah mhm this was meatballs wrapped in uh in cabbage and you put a layer down in the PO in the pot and then you put a layer of sauerkraut and a little brown sugar and some other stuff on top of that sounds and you do a layer and you layer that all the way up to the top and you let that cook and that sounds right there oh it was so good I mean probably not for everybody but I loved it my mom is a she’s a great cook yeah she she can I mean the breakfast that she makes at my house when she’s in town it’s I mean she’s a she’s a really good cook and what does she make she’ll will do we’ll do a lot of Assortment again very health conscious you know I mean it’s but it’s you know she’s got a like three or four ways that she’ll do eggs and then there’s always a lot of fresh fruit and we’ll do some nice sourdough toast so it’s not like biscuits and gravy it’s not biscuits and gravy it’s a very very nice um kind of there’s a lot of love in in there’s a lot of love in that food and she there’s a lot of crazy characters down there on the Gulf Coast and a lot of transients that come in on the coast they boating right yeah and traveling and so there was a a some friends of theirs and they ended up with this Peruvian recipe uh of this dip and my mom’s famous for it or all around the country it’s a very simple recipe but it’s some of the most addictive dip I’ve ever had in my life and here’s what it is in my mom is the queen of it and it’s called feta dip oh F that’s all it’s called it’s nothing fancy but I’m going to tell you something right now you cannot stop eating this I got some my refrigerator right now F chees so you get this high quality feted cheese and you get a blender or food processor I guess or whatever you need and it’s garlic feta cheese cumin and olive oil there ain’t nothing wrong with that and that’s it and you put that in the blender and you blend it up and you make this dip and it is [ __ ] amazing so now when you came up in uh how old were you and you started playing I was around six or seven six or seven and you didn’t start off with you were playing like a Bluegrass and like mandolin and acoustic laat yeah cuz Jerry always had all these instruments around and so I would you know he’s still alive he’s in North Carolina but I started messing around on the harmonica oh sh I didn’t know that and I thank God I put that down pretty quick I I could only play in one key maybe that’s why I didn’t know it yeah not many people do but and what’s funny is everybody thinks that I started on the mandolin because they associate small instrument with with being young so I figured a few these things out over the years but I really started playing started playing guitar and then Bluegrass and then when they would set the Les Paws and stuff down at at band practice you know with my uncle and his buddies I would you know they’d be smoking weed and drinking somewhere for an hour before they played again and I’d go pick up the guitar and turn up the amp and and I’d be I’d be noodling around so it was kind of an interesting way to to grow up it was there was no top 40 in the the house I didn’t learn how to play music playing along to Beatles and Leed Zeppelin Rec like most people I I never gravitated towards rock music because I was raised in environment where there was a lot of great songs and good singing and good playing and it was all about playing clean and having a good tone and you know good songs and and nice pleasing music so I didn’t get the like so I don’t know how to play rock and roll guitar you’ll never catch me like banging I’ve noticed that I don’t do it but what I always what I find interesting about what you just said is people may not know this but you’re good friends with and play a lot of shows with John Oats did you even listen to holl and oats at all when you were growing up did you know you didn’t even know who they were right no I didn’t even know who they were that like when did you you were down here probably before you figured it out or up here I guess for yeah and it really wasn’t that long ago I mean so had I had lunch with o yesterday he’s great dear friend you guys are tight I me you do you guys like to Doo gig all really close friends and he’s become one of my best friends and so um when I I was in tell Ro colado playing with Jerry Douglas I used to work with Jerry Douglas the Doug player and for years and years and we play teide every year so I was out there this was God we’ve been saying 15 years it’s probably 17 years ago at this point and uh me and John I was on one end of the stage and John was on the other and S Bush was doing the closing song of the show of the festival there’s like 30 people on stage I took a guitar solo everybody soloed and then oats took a solo and when I got done with that we were all we you know we got done with that song I walked off the stage and oat was standing there and he goes man I don’t know who you are but he goes I want you to have this guitar are you serious I swear to God and so I looked at him and I said well I don’t know who you are but I’m not taking your guitar and Sam and Jerry were standing there and they’re going they’re going take the guar take the guitar and I’m like who is this guy I didn’t he didn’t know no clue who this guy was and so you know then he goes he goes hey man what are you doing tomorrow and I went man I’m I’m here for the next couple days he goes well come over to the C to the to the condo and and we’ll play a little bit and then I realized he loves like uh Doc Watson and and and um Mississippi John Hurt and all this old great old delta blues music and we had this you know me and Jerry Uncle Jerry used to play Deep River Blues oats one of you know Deep River Blues one of his first songs that he learned or something and so there was this really unique parallel there and I had had no idea about this pop rock legendary pop rock band with all those songs and so cuz my family didn’t listen to that music you know the the the most popular thing that we listened to was like Van Morrison or Jackson Brown or Bob Dylan I mean those were like to me those were like pop music that was like commercial music to me you know I said man I mean we’re in a laser focused hyper sensitive concentrated area of a lot of talented people a lot of hustle going on there’s a lot of motivated people there’s a lot of successful people the pressure’s on if you’re going to be here and doing it you better be doing it or doing something or it’s not going to work yeah and so once you have been like us and you you’ve experienced all that and you’ve made a living and you’ve you’ve you’ve come out on the other side of it okay then you kind of go man [ __ ] that [ __ ] yeah it’s I just want to have some fun I want to travel I want to have some good food the pressure’s off it’s not about the perfect pedal and the [ __ ] who gives [ __ ] cuz we know now at this point none of that matters it doesn’t matter you know you’ve been through a lot of stuff I have been through I don’t have family or kids or anything but we’ve all been through whatever our own personal ups and downs are and you just kind of finally just go man [ __ ] that [ __ ] we’re going to just have some fun we want to do stuff like this yeah and my buddy says don’t let the per don’t don’t let the perfect get in the way of the pretty damn yeah you know yeah it’s about the process about doing it one two one two three [Music] well you know that you love me but you never tell me so yes you know that you love me but you
