Fruit and Nut Rice-India

Tue, 17 Mar 2009 19:29:54 -0400

A while back a Zaarian reminded me of a wonderful Indian rice dish. Afterwards this recipe showed up in my email from gourmet-recipes-from-around-the-world. The serving size is a guess - be sure to let rice soak a bit then drain -makes it fluffy. -- posted by Buster's friend

Pork With Rice and Olives (Arroz Con Carne De Cedo-Dominican Rep

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 17:31:05 -0400

Wonderful dish that bakes in the oven. Doubles nicely & cooks unattended - good enough to serve guests. I like it spicier & greener - dried habanero (few seeds) & handfuls of parsley from the garden makes an especially nice dish. Serve with fresh pineapple salsa & tossed green salad (full of garden vegies in the summer). Allow 6 hours marinating time - let set in the fridge overnight. Came via email - gourmet-recipes-from-around-the-world, thank you Frank! -- posted by Buster's friend

Big Sky Paella

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 16:47:21 -0400

This savory spanish rice dish is an easy one-pot meal with just enough spice to warm you up from the inside out! I was looking for a Spanish dish to take for a theme dinner party and came up with this simplified hybrid of a few recipes I'd researched. This recipe can easily be adapted to suit your tastes... add oregano to the chicken seasoning if you like that flavor, omit the shrimp, or even add additional shellfish such as clams or mussels if you like. The dish comes together very quickly after the initial ingredient prep. Be careful not to add too much liquid, the finished dish is nice if the rice toasts and forms a slight crunch on the bottom. Don't forget the squeeze of lemon! -- posted by ellrgee

Vegetable & Apple Balti

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 10:17:33 -0400

A simple vegetarian Balti with a dash of apple I made up in the supermarket. Very tasty and moderately spicy. Made using 'Pataks Balti curry paste - tomato & coriander' which is made in the UK. It tastes so good I have to share it (first recipe on here). So many times things like this don't work for me - this time it did. (there is another vegetable Balti on here which looks good too) -- posted by wfdtamar

Apple Risotto

A surprising main dish with the sharp taste of apples and cheese. The first time that I was served this by my dear friend, Claire, I couldn't get enough.

Served with steamed asparagus and a nice crisp white wine, it is the perfect meal for friends and family. -- posted by The_Swedish_Chef

Super Simple, Super Quick Chicken Curry and Rice

Fri, 08 May 2009 11:18:52 -0400

I had never made curry before but decided to give it a shot. I would call this recipe a medium-hot dish. I put in quite a bit of curry, but there is a lot of rice and chicken for it to cover. This recipe is for 1 person, but can be easily multiplied. If you use chicken stock for this recipe do not use the chicken base -- posted by Morrison

Tex-Mex Rice and Two-Bean Pilaf

Wed, 13 May 2009 01:19:45 -0400

From "The PDQ Vegetarian Cookbook" by Donna Klein. Kidney beans or black eyed peas can replace the pinto beans (I used kidney beans as that was what I had on hand). I used 19oz cans as that was also all I had on hand. This turned out better than I expected (it seemed a strange idea to me to put salsa into something I was cooking). I used fresh onion and garlic (the original recipe called for processed). -- posted by Chef #1109421

Mexican Burrito Bowl

Tue, 26 May 2009 01:47:33 -0400

We like to get burrito bowls from Chipotle, but aren't thrilled with paying for it several times a week. This isn't anything I'd claim as a "clone", but is "inspired" by Chipotle/QDoba's burrito bowls. It's tasty, easy and filling. As a bonus, it's pretty good without any meat, making it a really viable option to serve a mixed group of vegetarian/carnivores for a party. -- posted by JWynia

Tofu With Rice and Black Eyed Peas

Wed, 27 May 2009 22:29:28 -0400

I converted this from a chicken ricipe and eliminated most of the fat as well. It has a slight bite to it from the red pepper flake and a hint of chicken from the seasonings. An excellent choice if you are vegetarian or just trying to reduce calories and fat while increasing nutrition. -- posted by Chef Larz in Pennsboro, WV

Okra Pilau

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 00:28:26 -0400

Pilaus are a staple of the low country SC kitchen. The only problem with preparing them is that is essential that you have a rice steamer. A rice steamer works like a double boiler except that it allows steam to enter the top part of the device. If you Google "Charleston Rice Steamer" several sites will appear where you can purchase one of these. Target has one for $29.95 by mail order. This recipe is from St. Michael's Church in Charleston, SC. -- posted by Dan-Amer #1

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

Crab a Licious Casserole

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:21:57 -0400

I adapted this recipe from Cooks.com. I like Basmati or Jasmine rice for this recipe. Each adds its own subtle flavor. Note: I changed the estimated number of servings from 10 to 6 because after making it twice, I can say that this recipe seems to inspire "seconds" and "thirds." We eat a salad along with it--no bread, soup, etc. If you are controlling the portions for a dinner party or are serving a variety of side dishes along with this main course, use the higher number of servings. Note 2: I had this leftover yesterday for lunch, and it warmed up great in the microwave. Freezing seems to be fine, too. Note 3: Because we were running low, my husband substituted parmesan cheese for swiss, cut the amount of cheddar cheese in half, and mixed the cheeses into the casserole instead of putting them on top. He also added a dash of cayenne pepper. We liked it just as well. -- posted by 1ofdabest

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

'rough Cut' Slow Cooker No-Beef Chili

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 18:01:51 -0400

This is a simple, hearty comfort recipe that was based on whatever I had in the pantry last night. It's called 'rough cut' because it is meant to be just a "rustic", simple, easy, hearty, filling dish. There is to be No tedious MINCING!! :-) Just put the ingredients in the cooker. ;-) It's really easy! Just put the ingredients into the cooker in the order listed, ending with the chicken. You don't want to taste it after adding raw meat to it so adjust your seasoning as nearly as you can before the chicken goes in. You can adjust the flavors further after it's finished. Ours came out with a LOT of juice so, if you don't like it that way, consider draining the tomatoes, cutting the stock and using bouillon cubes instead. Or cook as directed and removing excess juices to reach the consistency you prefer. I ladled off about 4 cups of the liquid after all the seasonings married in the cooking process. I served it over rice. I thought about adding ground cayenne or red pepper flakes after cooking for a little added heat. Or just having them in ramekins on the table for those who'd like it. Consider substituting 2 LBS of ground turkey or chicken for the thighs. I'm going to try duck or venison this winter. Bon, Bon Apetit! -- posted by MW Savant

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

Island Style Rice and Beans

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

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 13:28:30 -0400

I have used ground turkey for this also. Please feel free to adjust this recipe to suit your tastes. That's the beauty of cooking! -- posted by lunkochick

Easy One Pot Lentils and Rice

I made this for dinner tonight, and the whole family loved it. I make lentils and rice quite often in a million and one different ways, and never with a recipe, but decided to post this one for safe keeping so that I can make it this way again. I served this as a rice ring (with easy glazed carrots and raisins in the middle). I had no onions on hand, but this would be excellent with carmelized onions on top. You may need to use a little more or less water depending on the age of your lentils. I used 6 1/2 cups, and it was perfect. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did! -- posted by Chef #1082457

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

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

Ham Stuffed Chicken Breast on Savoury Rice

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 17:19:06 -0500

This is a succulent, tasty and not too fattening dish needing minimal preparation and supervision during cooking, easy to present and with a wonderfully satisfying Mediterranean flavour. Enjoy with a glass of chilled Pinot Grigio. -- posted by Schemin Demon

This Russian dish has many variations all around the Baltic. This recipe is the one most common to Finland. In fact, it could be considered a Finnish national dish. Serve with a green salad along with a sour cream and dill dressing. -- posted by Celticevergreen

A Pilaf of Asparagus, Broad Beans and Mint

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 11:13:27 -0500

A wonderful buttery taste of early summer, useful way to use up the first asparagus and beans and young garden mint. From Nigel Slater's new book Tender. Use the vegetable weights as a guide, use whatever you have. -- posted by lindseylcw

Simple Chicken and Rice (With a Kick)

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 17:18:18 -0500

So easy, but so tasty. I like to top it with some finely grated cheddar. And, of course, I use quite a bit of Tabasco as well. Prep time noted assumes you've got the cooked and cubed chicken on hand already (but it does allow for basil chopping and can opening). -- posted by Cluich

Roasted Acorn Squash With Wild Rice Stuffing

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 17:37:10 -0500

Acorn squash is a satisfying side when roasted and topped with a pat of butter and a drizzle of maple syrup, but filled with a hearty stuffing of wild rice, pecans, and cranberries, its a meal in itself. Loaded with comforting flavors, this dish brings fall home, but it can be made any time of year. The wild rice mixture can be made up to 2 days ahead; keep it refrigerated in an airtight container. You can make the stuffing up to 6 hours ahead; keep it covered in the refrigerator. extracted from Chow.com, haven't tried this yet but posted here for safekeeping -- posted by endeavour

Holubsti--Ukranian Cabbage Rolls

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 00:45:38 -0500

I spent 18 months in central Canada, serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. While I was there, I fell in love with the people and the food, specifically Ukrainian and Filipino food. The cabbage rolls were my favorite, and when I returned to the US, I began searching for recipes, but could never find one that I liked. This recipe comes from me combining elements of two or three different recipes that I found. The resulting recipe is surprisingly easy--if a bit labor intensive. I included instructions to make a sauce, but, if you run out of energy, the stuff in a can works just as well. If I want to do a homemade sauce, I usually do it a day or so in advance., By omitting the meat, this can be a vegetarian dish. By also omitting the sour cream and using margarine instead of butter, it can be vegan. -- posted by CorianneW

Fried Fish With Rice (Kuwaiti & Emratie)

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 14:20:44 -0500

Fish with rice is often served in homes in the Arabian Gulf. Kuwaitis in particular love their Zubadi (Silver Pomfret) fish that is local to them but can be found in the frozen section of many Middle Eastern & Asian shops. (You may have to degut them yourself). While some prefer to eat them dry with rice, others like ourselves, make Recipe #387327 to serve as an accompaniment. This recipe is a very tasty combination from three sources which all deserve credit, Sa-mak ma-ga-lee - Fried Fish from From "The Complete United Arab Emirates Cookbook", by Celia Ann Brock- Al Ansari, Mtabag Simach from "Cardamom and Lime: Recipes from the Arabian Gulf", by Sarah Al-Hamad, and http://mimisrecipes.blogspot.com. -- posted by UmmBinat

Wild Rice & Herbs Stuffed Roaster Chicken

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 09:46:01 -0500

A whole roast chicken with stuffing makes a delicious main dish. Apples, mushroomns, green onions, and carrots turn this wild rice stuffing up several flavorful notches. Serve it with a mixed greens and red onion salad dressed with a balsamic vinaigrette, and you've got a WINNER-DINNER! -- posted by Feast Your Eyes!

Ww Low Fat Taco Beef Skillet Dinner

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 17:16:03 -0500

Since starting Weight Watchers, I have missed the flavour of Mexican foods. But with calorie-filled toppings and wraps, they're not always diet-friendly. So I came up with this meal- it has the flavours of Mexican food without the majority of the calories and if you have extra points, you can even add a little guacamole or sour cream on top! It's worth using fresh salsa, not the jarred stuff for this recipe- it adds a lovely fresh bright flavour. Using extra lean beef, this recipe has a total of 19 Weight Watchers points by British points calculations. -- posted by Shuzbud

Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:12:58 -0500

I don't pretend to be an expert at making Gumbo. However, I searched everywhere for a recipe that my family would like. This takes a lot of work but is very tasty. I realize that "credible" gumbo is not made with Okra but...what else do you do with all the Okra everyone gives ya? -- posted by MKCMOM

Curry Chicken Breast Casserole

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:33:43 -0500

I just got a new Casserole Cookbook and this was the first I have tried. It was pretty yummy! My boyfriend had 3 helpings! That's all well and good, but now what am I going to eat for lunch this week?! I threw some raisins on top to give it a little color, more sweetness and texture, ymmmmmmy! -- posted by In My Tummy!

Basil Beef Fried Rice

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 11:51:53 -0500

This recipe is from a local Thai cooking class I took. The instructor tried to adapt the traditional recipe to use locally-available ingredients. This is delicious - different than any other fried rice we've had before. The Thai basil (I found it in an Asian grocery store in the city) really makes a difference. -- posted by flowers22

Stuffed Peppers With Pork and Rice

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 15:54:39 -0500

Making the most out a little minced pork, this dish makes for a tasty and different lunch. Originally I came up with a slightly different version without meat which was inspired by holidays to Cyprus, this is a twist on that. -- posted by AskCy

Left-Over Pork Roast Jambalaya

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:14:37 -0500

I wanted to make something special out of my left-over pork roast and improvised on a Jambalaya recipe I had used from a Simple and Delicious magazine - the family loved the results. This is not a spicy dish as I had toddlers eating it too but it could very easily be spiced up. -- posted by Chef Learnee
