Thu, 26 Mar 2009 09:53:29 -0400

I'm a lazy cook so when I had a craving for my grandmother's yellow rice, I figured out a recipe that would taste the same and be simple.

This is a traditional and spicy side dish. The "peas" in Jamaica refer to beans, kidney beans in this recipe. Scotch bonnet is one of the hottest peppers. If you don't want this to be quite as spicy, you could use habanero or jalapeno peppers. From Food & Wine. Enjoy! -- posted by LifeIsGood

Feel free to use fresh herbs in place of the italian seasoning, but add them toward the end of cooking. This recipe serves 3 as a side dish or 2 as a lunch.

Pesto Stuffed Tomatoes

Fri, 29 May 2009 22:52:19 -0400

A simple yet effective side dish that covers vegetables, carbohydrates and dairy in one dish. Plus it tastes superb! British tomatoes are fairly small but I've designed the filling to fit medium to large tomatoes, but not as large as beef tomatoes. Adjust the amount of filling depending on the size of tomato you have (any leftover filling makes a yummy snack!) -- posted by Shuzbud

This is a quick and simple rice salad. The creamy feta blends beautifully with the black olives. If you leave out the cucumber, this is also lovely served warm. I like the flavour as it is but if you don't like vinaigrette tart, feel free to reduce the amount of red wine vinegar to 2 tablespoons. -- posted by Shuzbud

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

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

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

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

Rice Cooker Stir Fried Rice (Chinese Style)

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 15:34:03 -0500

We love stir fried rice, and this is pretty close to the pan-fried version, but with less time investment, less work and less dishes! I just made it up - if you end up modifying it, I'd love to hear your comments! -- posted by CanadianEmily

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

Best Chestnut Stuffing

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 02:37:25 -0500

I fell in love with this stuffing as a kid, if you can find jarred chestnuts you can skip the roasting step. Although you can stuff a 16-18 lb turkey with this stuffing, I recommend that you bake it separately. -- posted by Chef #588927

Fragrant East Indian Basmati Rice

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:33:59 -0500

This is my recipe for the perfect side-dish of any Indian cuisine entree... it can be prepared two ways -- as a white rice which is better for dishes with sauces, such as chicken tikka masala -- or as a curry-seasoned yellow rice, which serves well all on its own. I've left plenty of room here for creativity, as I feel everyone is their own best chef! This rice is delicious to begin with -- you couldn't possibly go wrong! -- posted by Bazaar®

Lebanese Rice With Sharia (Vermicelli) (Gluten Free)

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:42:38 -0500

This is similar to the rice served at our local shawarma restaurant without the gluten noodles. This is a rice that can be dolled up replacing the water with some kind of broth, adding onion fried until transparent in butter after cooked or even adding a hand full of pine nuts all depending on what you are serving it with but plain it is excellent with chicken cooked with Recipe #44858. -- posted by UmmBinat
