One-Pot Rice and Pork Chops

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 16:10:58 -0400

This is a great meal for week nights or when you don't have a lot of time, as it is ready in half an hour. Add a green salad and you have a complete meal! -- posted by Irmgard

Parmesan Sage Rice

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 02:07:24 -0400

I adapted this from several different recipes on this web site. It invariably gets rave reviews and is great as a side dish with chicken, salmon and other meats. Also goes great with salad with vinaigrette dressing. This is so easy to make and your friends will be very impressed (mine were)! This recipe will make enough for 2-3 people unless you're very light eaters. It doubles/triples/quadruples well. I recently prepared it for 10 friends and had to up the cups of water considerably but with rice it's not a big deal to just add more water and let it simmer for longer. -- posted by E. Margrit

Adobo Rice With Beans and Tomato

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:06:20 -0400

I needed a side dish that would add some interest to an otherwise boring plate. My husband and I both had thirds! Most of the active work happens while the rice cooks. Then it's just easy assembly. -- posted by HopeJohnJP

Coconut Saffron Rice

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 12:32:36 -0400

A delicious combination of coconut and saffron blended with jasmine rice. I have tried many recipes and finally came up with this myself and I love it! Be sure to use unsweetened coconut. If you can use a fresh coconut and grate it. If not, you can rinse the sugar off of sweetened and then toast. -- posted by cherylf

Wild Rice Pilaf

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 00:49:45 -0400

Not too much cooking is involved here, and pretty much everything you have to add at the last minute or so of cooking. The slightly heated zucchini is nice, though, as it is somewhat cooked by the heat of the rice, but is still crispy, which is what I like about this recipe. When I say medium zucchini I mean something that is not too big or too small for your like (this is a personal thing,as it suggests). The type of wild rice I use is long grain, although I'm not sure if there is any other kind. -- posted by Studentchef

Best Ever Fried Rice

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 02:00:11 -0400

This recipe comes from Cooking Light, September 2005 and is without a doubt the best fried rice I have ever tasted. Not only great tasting but very easy to make as well. I have modified the original recipe slightly to reflect our preferences for oil, meat, veggies etc. The original recipe calls for shredded lettuce as an ingredient however I have never tried it this way. I will list it as an optional ingredient. The sesame oil is the secret ingredient as far as I am concerned!! Don't be shy, give it a try!! -- posted by NanuqsMom

Green Coriander Rice

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 00:46:38 -0400

A tasty side for simple grilled chicken or meat. Being gluten-free I tend to eat a lot of rice and this makes for a great change. I love the peppery flavour of coriander. Use a gluten-free stock to make this recipe suitable to a gluten-free diet (I like to use Massell brand ) -- posted by **Jubes**

Rob's Basic Baked Rice

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 01:17:05 -0400

My DH found this recipe in a Paul Prudhomme book and has adjusted it to our preferences. Great side for just about anything (especially grilled foods) with a light flavor - which doesn't end up competing with your other dishes. Really easy to make, just toss it in the oven and forget about it (so to speak) while you work on other things. :) We tend to like the gorgonzola cheese lately, but feta also works really nicely. It all depends on what your main dish flavor is and your preference. Cooking times can vary - we find 70 minutes works perfectly for us. -- posted by Mommy Diva

Calas - Rice Fritters

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 02:18:08 -0400

Even the pickiest eater will love this traditional New Orleans rice fritter. Allowing the batter to sit overnight gives this particular recipe a distinctive, subtle sourdough flavor and the lack of sugar (besides what is required to proof the yeast) allows you to control how sweet you want this to be. This is a great way to use leftover rice. Your choice of oil will make a big difference in the flavor. The recipe calls for peanut oil, but I prefer it with safflower oil. It gives it a lighter, more interesting flavor (not too mention being cheaper). I got this recipe from a blog I highly recommend, Nola Cuisine. -- posted by OwlMonkey

Mexican Beef Chili

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 13:12:11 -0400

From "The Essential Rice Cookbook." This is a hearty meal that could also be used as a side. I have tried substituting pork instead of beef, but it really needs the deep flavor of red meat. Also, it isn't very spicy, so you may want to add more spice. Serve with sour cream and warm flour tortillas, or just eat it from a bowl. -- posted by Da Huz

Delicious and Healthy Brown Rice With Tofu and Veggies

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 13:20:23 -0400

A hearty meal made with brown rice and assorted vegetables with tofu. Very delicious, even without a single bit of added butter or oil! You can add additional vegetables as you see fit, my family is picky though so I only used a small variety. The cans of mixed vegetables contain green beans, peas, carrots, celery, and lima beans. -- posted by Zielle

Portuguese Sweet Rice (Arroz Doce)

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 13:05:02 -0400

Sweet Rice is as individual as the cooks who make them. I've tasted sweet rice by different cooks, but I've never tried one that came close to the creamyness, and sweet, lemony flavour of my grandma's rice. This is her recipe. It takes about 30-45 minutes to make, but the results are well worth it. -- posted by Chef #1335041

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 17:17:07 -0400

I found this on a OAMC website, which credits Healthy Meals in Minutes for this recipe. This was pretty easy, and nummy. This could also probably be made in a rice cooker (especially after thawing a frozen batch). I did the stovetop cooking for my two batches separately, since I was baking one batch for dinner and freezing the second. This worked out well for me. -- posted by CraftScout

This is not just mushroom soup and rice. This combines fresh herbs wild mushrooms, fennel, onions, sherry and a creamy cheesy bechemel sauce, all topped with a crunchy crusty topping. This is a rich decadent side dish which is amazing with roasted turkey, chicken, cornish hens or pork. Using any rice you want, a quick cooking, or any boxed rice, or the old fashioned way. But I take the short cut for this to make my life easier, but either way, the casserole is great. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Vegetarian Black-Eyed Peas & Rice

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:16:52 -0400

From The Black Family Reunion cookbook. While growing up, my grandmother, rhoda Weekes, was known among family and friends as the master of black-eyed peas and rice. You may think I'm exaggerating, but I can remember folks coming from throughout the tri-state area if they heard Mother was "cookin' up a pot." I'd watch her throw a bit of this and a dash of that into the kettle. It still warms my spirit to remember her creating her magical dish, while I kept her company in her big, beautiful kitchen. I'm no longer a meat-eater, so the following is my vegetarian version of Rhoda Weekes' black-eyed peas and rice.-Susan L. Taylor, Editor-in-Chief, Essence Magazine -- posted by mightyro_cooking4u

Chicken and Rice

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:52:40 -0400

This is my grandmother's recipe, but it was originally meant as a way to serve up fresh dove when it was in season. Since I live in the city, and there isn't a lot of opportunity for dove hunting, I substitute chicken. I find that bone in chicken pieces work best because they don't dry out the way boneless pieces will. This is my idea of ultimate comfort food. I usually serve it with peas and fresh sweet potatoes. -- posted by quirkycook

Rice Porridge (Congee) With Century Egg and Pork (Or Chicken)

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:08:33 -0400

I grew up eating a Filipino version of Congee called "Arroz Caldo". My grandmother would have lots of dark chicken meat in it and huge chunks of ginger that I would end up biting into (not fun when you're 7 years old). Since then my own kids have developed a love for the traditional Chinese-style congee (also called rice soup) they serve in restaurants, especially during cold Autumn and Winter days. Some people may be uneasy about using the 'century duck egg' (or 'thousand year old egg' is really just as egg that is preserved in salt, ash and lime) but don't judge it in it's unpeeled, chopped up state - added to the congee, it really adds a yummy complexity to this dish, even my 2yo daughter loves it. This recipe is for you if you want a warm, hearty, simple and economical meal. Enjoy! (note: I use leftover shredded chicken or pork but you can poach your own prior to making recipe, and use the ground white pepper - it really makes a difference!) -- posted by mlao77

Hamburger Pilaf

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:01:37 -0400

This makes a fast one dish "hamburger helper" type meal. Be sure to use a good beef broth as it provides a great deal of flavour for your dish. Sometimes I add sliced mushrooms that I saute with the onion & pepper. This can also be made with ground chicken, using chicken broth. -- posted by Sweet PQ?

Mexican Green Rice (Vegan)

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:04:11 -0400

A colorful dish I had fun making, from a Mexican cookbook that I altered to my liking by using healthier vegan-friendly ingredients. I served it with steamed black beans and ate on tortillas with monterey jack cheese. Yummy! -- posted by the80srule

Seitanic Red and White Bean Jambalaya

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:38:41 -0400

From the Veganomicon. If using fresh thyme, add the whole sprigs to the rice before baking. The leaves will fall off during baking and the stems can then be removed before serving. -- posted by Eat Your Vegetables!

Vegan Tex Mex Rice

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:58:14 -0500

I got this out of a Mexican cookbook except I made it vegan, and simplified it as well. I found that I had to add a little extra cayenne after it was done cooking, but then again I have a higher spice hotness threshold than most :) -- posted by the80srule

Mom's Oven Rice

Mom used to make this rice and I have no idea of the origin of the recipe. It is very similar to the Mushroom Rice Casserole except this has green peppers and no mushrooms. -- posted by GibbyLou

Cheryl's Pork Fried Rice

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:02:48 -0500

I had a next-door neighbor who gave the original recipe to my mom. I modified it slightly by adding Ah-So sauce to the pork. It's delicious and fairly simple. I highly recommend preparing it a day in advance so that the hoisin sauce has enough time to mellow out. -- posted by Chrissy Sweettooth

Parmesan Chicken Casserole

A friend of mine cooked this for my family after I had carpal tunnel surgery. It was really tasty simple recipe. We thought it was a little bland so I plan to play with it a bit. Any suggestions would be great ;) -- posted by 911spatcher

Curried Rice With Smoked Salmon

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:57:52 -0500

The idea for this quick dinner is based on a popular English brunch dish. If you don't have smoked salmon on hand, use a 7-1/2 ounce tin of salmon that has been drained and had the skin and bones removed. -- posted by Irmgard

Fluffy White Rice

White rice like the rice served at a good Chinese restaurant. Two variations are given, one fluffy version for eating with foods like stir frys, and another for making fried rice. I have met so many people who marvel at perfect white rice. It's very easy to make. Here's how... -- posted by RudyH
