Zucchini and Rice Patties

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 14:30:23 -0500

These are very good and easy to throw together, just make sure the pan is heated quite hot before adding as if it is too cool, it makes it harder to handle them and when it comes to flipping they will tend to want to break up. I served these with a corn relish but feel free to have them on their on. I have included the recipe for the relish if you wish to make it. -- posted by The Flying Chef

Tofurkey Fried Rice

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 17:53:56 -0400

Brown Rice Harvest Dressing / Stuffing

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 02:47:40 -0400

This is a good dressing recipe that we like with pork chops or duck. (It can also be used as a stuffing.) I based it on a few different recipes for brown rice dressing, but think it has an extra richness with the butter and the egg. The seasonings, of course, should be adjusted to your taste! -- posted by Dwynnie

Easy and delicious side dish passed down from my great-aunt. Goes great with pork tenderloin!

Vegetable Fried Rice

Fri, 30 May 2008 02:19:49 -0400

Another recipe by Brenda Walsh from her cooking demonstration "A little taste of Asia." This fried rice is made vegan (no egg) so it's healthier with zero cholesterol. Watch vegetables carefully as you dont want to overcook them. Try adding other vegetables, such as red bell pepper, zucchini, turnips or eggplant. If you like a little spice, add 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper. Mmm Mmm good! Cooking time doesn't include cooking the brown rice. I usually cook my brown rice in a rice cooker and it takes about 20minutes. -- posted by Enjolinfam

Perfect Basic Brown Rice

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 02:43:27 -0400

This basic recipe was printed in Saveur magazine. It works well for any brown rice - short, medium or long-grain brown rice. Disregard the directions on your package. Most likely it will come out mushy. In this recipe, the boiling (uncovered) cooks it thoroughly, and the steaming at the end make it light and fluffy. -- posted by PanNan

Although a vegetarian dish, this gets eaten with reckless abandon by carnivores. it sounds way too healthy (and it is) but dang! it is GOOD. try it. give about 45 minutes from start to finish.

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 02:09:36 -0400

Yes, I have been in the kitchen making fried rice again! Fried rice is one of my favorites. The sesame seeds in this version offer a delicious nutty taste that makes this perfect to accompany Chinese stir-fries, Japanese teppanyaki, and Korean bulgoki. The use of brown rice should gain approval from those trying to cut carbs. Of course, they want it to be delicious, and I assure you that this is every bit as tasty as my fried rice (Recipe #38748). -- posted by Sue L

Chestnut, Mushroom and Rice Stuffing

The mushrooms make this stuffing rich, earthy and flavourful. We made this for Canadian Thanksgiving this week, It was light and everyone raved about it. A really easy and forgiving recipe. Easy to do outside the bird. We were able to find a 200 gram vacuum-sealed package of cooked chestnuts from France that made that ingredient very easy to add. We didn't add any salt at all...your choice. Our newspaper got the original recipe from www.riceinfo.com -- posted by Dick Shugar

This recipe was an accidental discovery, serendipity, if you will! I couldn't find a recipe that quite included everything I had in my pantry and I so wanted pumpkin rice, so I picked a little of this and a little of that from other recipes and made one myself. It's absolutely delicious. I made it because I was in a pumpkin-y mood on Halloween Eve, and now I'm totally making it again on Thanksgiving. My picky two-year-old son even gobbled it all up and asked for seconds! I hope you enjoy it! If you find ways to tweak it, please feel free to comment! -- posted by Chef #981022

This is a recipe my dad found online when I was first diagnosed with Celiac disease. We made it for Thanksgiving, and it's been a staple on our holiday table ever since. The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup of mushrooms to be sauteed with the onion and the celery, but I don't care for them so we leave them out. Also, to clarify, the pumpkin seeds are deshelled - so it's only the green kernels. -- posted by DreamoBway

Brown Fried Rice - Five Treasure

Tue, 03 Feb 2009 18:02:45 -0500

The sky is the limit when it comes to preparing fried rice. With this recipe we use brown rice and a little canola oil to make it healthier and 5 different types of vegetables. It's important the brown rice is well chilled so the starch hardens and makes it fry-able. If you use fresh rice you will have a gummy mess. Using ginger, scallions and garlic helps boost the flavour or you could even add some sesame oil or chile peppers. You could substitute the canola for sesame oil to add more flavour. Change any of the vegetables to asparagus; zucchini, peas, mushrooms, bok choy, bean spouts, jicama and even fruit such as mandarin oranges or pineapple.. To make it more of a meal I would add protein like chicken, shrimp, ham or even tofu...but then it wouldn't be Five Treasure now. Cooking time includes cooking the rice and chilling it. To speed the process up at dinner time, prepare the rice and chopped veggies the day before. This recipe came from Fine Cooking. -- posted by heather in Ont,

This is my personal recipe I make for when I cook Tex-Mex for family and friends. It is great! I prefer brown rice to white for health reasons but white rice can be used. Brown rice tends to be firmer and harder to get done so with brown rice you want to let it sit longer to absorb the liquid or you will get hard rice. -- posted by Poohrona

Baked Brown Rice

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 13:17:15 -0400

This is adapted from a recipe shown on a Good Eats episode (Alton Brown). I was never happy with brown rice, because it was always too hard and never quite absorbed enough flavor. The first time I made this, I was hooked. I am giving my adaptation, however the original is simply rice, water, butter and salt. It's the method that makes this one incredible. Sometimes I exchange part of the water for fresh lemon juice and toss in some slivered almonds and drop the veggies (excellent with curried shrimp). Other times I use chicken broth, add sesame oil, soy sauce, and fresh peas and use it as a mock fried rice. Making it with chicken broth walnuts and dried cranberries is nice with turkey as a holiday side dish. It's great to bump up the "healthy" factor. Be creative and enjoy! -- posted by MJaz

Rice Stuffed Sunburst / Patty Pan Summer Squash

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 12:51:20 -0400

Recently they have been selling some pretty large patty pan squash at the farmers' market, much larger than the little baby ones you often see roasted or grilled. I didn't want to just cut them up like regular squash so I searched around and found quite a few recipes for stuffed versions, baked in the oven. Didn't find one with rice though. This started as a recipe on about.com, but morphed as I have made it a few times, into what it is now. This only makes 4 squash, but you could easily double. You could make this a very substantial main course for a vegetarian if you added some protein. Note that the amount of rice is actually more than you'll need, by about 1/3 of a cup, we all really like the rice though so it's nice to have extra. In fact we like the rice so much I have doubled up that part of the recipe and used it for another meal. All depending on what you're serving this with, you could easily adjust the flavours, (ie I'm thinking feta, lemon & marjoram to go with greek). This is a small enough side dish that I can cook it in my toaster oven. Next is to try it on the BBQ. Hope you like it! -- posted by magpie diner

Nutty Brown Rice Pilaf

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 21:28:57 -0400

The pine nuts add the nutty flavour while the raisins bring a sweetness to the rice. I found this recipe in Canadian Living and it has become a staple. I wasn't a fan of brown rice until now. Try different brands as they do make a difference in texture and flavour, and the time for cooking can vary. Be careful when adding the pinch of cinnamon that a pinch is all you add or the flavour can be overpowering. Great as left overs. -- posted by heather in Ont,

Stuffed Grape Leaves

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:08:39 -0400

I didn't mark a "cuisine" for these, because they're a real Heinz 57! Dolmades are Middle Eastern/Greek, but these are my strange variation. Most people don't know, that you can pick your own grape leaves early in the spring, while they're tender, and just pickle them in water and vinegar - there's nothing special about the grape leaves you buy in the store. They reheat just fine in the microwave. -- posted by BritHans

Autumn Wild Rice

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 18:00:58 -0400

A beautiful chewy autumn side filled with a blend of wild, whole grain brown rices apples, onions and a kick from a jalapeno. I use Lundberg Rice blend, But if you can't find it go for brown rice of choice. Start the rice cooker before dicing the goodies. This would be a nice stuffing! -- posted by ~Rita~

Brown Basmati Rice Pancakes

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:31:30 -0400

These are a crispy, savory fried "pancake" which I serve with a yellow split pea soup. The original recipe came from a Consumer Reports Rice cookbook which I've liberally changed. I fry them on cast iron, because it holds the heat best. Whatever pan you use, make certain it's good and hot. -- posted by OliveLover

Pretty and pink, this makes a lovely breakfast! I make this in my rice cooker, but it could also be done on the stove-top or in the microwave (or however you usually make your rice). -- posted by Génial Génie

Broccoli Casserole

I haven't tried this recipe, but am excited to! I wanted to post it here so I don't lose it. I've tried another broccoli casserole recipe from Canadaliving.com, but it was bland and a lot of work. This one looks more promising. -- posted by lolablitz

Brown Rice Tangi Salad

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:36:11 -0500

This is an easy to make family favourite given to me by my mother years ago. A delicious, high fibre way to include more brown rice in your diet. It improves on standing so if I'm wanting to take it to a BBQ or pot luck dinner, I'll make it the day before then chill it over night. The brown rice gives it a lovely nutty, chewy texture in a sweet sour dressing. Everyone will be coming back for more and want the recipe. Enjoy! -- posted by jodz

Pecan Rice Pilaf

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:12:04 -0500

It was just a normal December night and I was ravenous from spending a few hours writing a paper. I took a break for dinner and decided to eat at Risley Dining Hall. Cornell University Dining is known for their good food, and risley for their gourmet vegan food, but this was AMAZING! After eating this wonderful dish, I was in heaven, I had to ask for the recipe. The chef was very happy to give it to me. You HAVE to try it. -- posted by superblondieno2

Spiced Pilau Brown Rice

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 11:08:37 -0500

The turmeric adds a wonderful golden color to this healthy brown rice dish. The spices add lovely flavor and although you don't eat the leaves, cardamom pods or cinnamon stick, leaving them in makes the dish look very authentic and pretty. A Jamie Oliver recipe. -- posted by English_Rose

A yummy side dish for a Tex Mex meal, or to spice up any grilled meats. Full of healthy fats and protein, thanks to the brown rice! The recipe can be found here: http://lobsterandfishsticks.com/2009/01/28/guacamole-rice/ -- posted by ChefMamaBlogger
