Jamaican Rice With "peas"

Mon, 17 Sep 2007 20:51:50 -0400

I found this recipe in a book in the library and it instantly appealed to me because of its unusual exotic flavour (coconut and chili). There is a little story behind its name: In Jamaica they say peas when they mean beans and therefore this dish is called rice with peas even though there are none in it. -- posted by Lalaloula

Coconut Rice

Sun, 09 Dec 2007 02:08:55 -0500

Perfect Cooked Rice

Fri, 08 Feb 2008 15:55:33 -0500

I really enjoy this rice. I have always heard to not stir the rice, but this method comes out perfect with the grains of rice separated. Make sure you plan ahead because the rice needs to soak for 1 hour. This is not the recipe to make if you are juggling a few recipes at the same time. This recipe is for people who enjoy cooking -(Mom, don't make this rice) as it requires more attention than most steamed rice recipes. from My Grandmother's Chinese Kitchen: 100 Family Recipes and Life Lessons, by Eileen Yin-Fei Lo. -- posted by cookiedog

Vegetable "gumbo"

Fri, 08 Feb 2008 19:57:27 -0500

Vegetarian stew inspired by the famous southern dish. Not particularly authentic, but delicious nonetheless. Wonderful to use up tons of fresh veggies--a real comfort food. Use any combination of veggies you like, below is only my preference. I would imagine bell peppers would be good, I just don't like them and have left them out. You could also add beans or even red lentils if you feel you need the protein. This is not spicy at all, so if you are into spicy, add some cayenne pepper, chili flakes, or diced jalapenos. -- posted by Yobittles

Greek Rice and Spinach for Steaming in Pressure Cooker

Thu, 29 May 2008 00:39:17 -0400

I love almost everything that Toula Patsalis included in "The Pressure Cooker Cookbook". It is important to read her instructions carefully. "Bring to HIGH STEAM" is different from "under HIGH heat, bring to HIGH PRESSURE". (I ruined a paella by assuming she meant High Pressure!). This recipe calls for steaming. This is Mediterranean cuisine, suitable for the Lenten season. -- posted by KateL

Turmeric Orange Ginger Infused Rice

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:54:55 -0400

I made up this recipe from the only turmeric rice recipe I found on Zaar. It was made totally on the fly, and turned out delicious. I hope you feel the same. Rather than writing a review on the original recipe I thought it better to post a different one, since I had made several changes, instead of singling them out in my review of the first one. The mint adds just a hint of freshness to the rice, the mango a small sweetness along with the orange water, the toasted pine nuts add great crunch and texture, and the ginger/garlic marry well with all other flavors without being overpowering. -- posted by Citruholic

Basmati Rice With Cashews, Peas and Fresh Coriander

A quick to prepare rice dish, adapted from a recipe on one the cards in international culinary celebrity Kurma Dasa's 52 card set 'Quick Vegetarian recipes you can prepare in a hurry'. It is important to use pans with tight-fitting lids for this recipe. If you are not overly fond of peas or spinach, substitute them with a vegetable you prefer. But the green of the vegetables in this dish does contrast most attractively with the yellowish rice and the cashews. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

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

I have been using this recipe for years now. I cannot recall where the recipe comes from, maybe a Joy of Cooking cookbook? I've searched the internet and can't seem to find this recipe anymore. I am posting it here for safe keeping. I usually make this for a holiday side dish and can easily be made vegan by using vegan butter. Cooking time includes time to cook the rice. The rice can be made ahead of time. Once you have cooked wild rice, the dish comes together very quickly. -- posted by zaar junkie

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

Rice Cooker Stir Fried Rice (Chinese Style)

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
