Armenian Rice and Noodles

Sun, 07 Dec 2003 20:00:16 -0500

My daughters call this "Noodle Rice" and we have some variation on it several times a month. I've used broken spaghetti, vermicelli, and orzo in place of the egg noodles (choose eggless pasta to be totally vegan...well, duh, you knew that!) I also usually throw in a handful of golden raisins with it and up the water just a bit to account for plumping them up - the kids eat those first! Be creative...substitute a little lemon juice for part of the water if it's going with fish, etc. A nice, reliable add-on to dinner, originally from "Betty Crocker's New Int'l Cookbook." -- posted by winkki

Microwave Fried Rice

Thu, 24 Jun 2004 19:58:23 -0400

FRIED RICE (NOT!) Thats what my kids call this!! I got this recipe from my friend Bev, and it is a quick and easy side dish, that can be padded out with a few more veggies. I would suggest that you dont "muck around" with this too much the first time you make it, as I have tried to be too clever and it hasnt worked out as well!!! having said that, I have to say I usually add garlic and ginger, and I am sure you have a favorite ingredient you would like to add :) -- posted by mummamills

Chipotle Copycat Lime Rice Recipe

Mon, 05 Dec 2005 20:36:38 -0500

This is a copycat recipe I found for this amazing rice, it works perfectly with a nice savory pulled pork that I use for making burritos.

Thu, 30 Aug 2007 21:18:53 -0400

The rich flavor from the smoked mozzarella (mozzarella affumicata) pairs nicely with the sweet and tart flavor of the Caravella Limoncello in this colorful risotto dish. During the fall and winter seasons try substituting diced butternut squash for asparagus its a delicious variation. - Chef Claire Criscuolo at her restaurant Claire's Corner Copia.

Serve with cherry-rich red: 2006 Chateau de La Chaize Brouilly. A healthy & vegetarian dish.

I learned this recipe from Rick Bayless, one of my favorite chefs. It is very unconventional, but the results are consistently delicious.

Decadent Lobster & Scallop Risotto

Tue, 17 Mar 2009 02:19:19 -0400

An elegant and easy to make dish that can make a little seafood go a long way. Perfect for a romantic dinner for two or for an impress-your-guests dinner party appetizer or side dish. The key to the mouthwatering lobster flavor is in the lobster stock used. The use of frozen lobster and sea scallops (which I always have in my freezer) makes this something you can quickly whip up from ingredients on hand. Substituting King or Snow crab would work just as well. Serve with champagne, sparkling wine or the same dry white wine used in the preparation for a perfect finish. -- posted by Ultimate foodie farmer

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
