Indian Jaggery Rice Pudding (Vellam Payasam)

Tue, 02 Apr 2002 16:26:51 -0500

This is my mom's recipe for authentic South Indian Jaggery pudding. 'Vellam' is the Tamil word for 'jaggery', while 'payasam' is Tamil for 'pudding'. Jaggery is tan coloured, unrefined sugar, made from the sap of palm trees or sugar cane, and is much more flavourful than granulated sugar. It's often sold in solid cakes, but it should crumble when you squeeze it. Look for it in Indian markets. In this recipe, preferably don't substitute the jaggery with anything else, since the pudding gets most of it's flavour from the jaggery. I've tried this only with jaggery, so I don't know how it would turn out with substitutes. For more information on jaggery, use this link: http://www.foodsubs.com/Sweeten.html -- posted by Anu

Orange Rice Pudding

Mon, 13 Jan 2003 20:10:07 -0500

My mom made this for my 19th birthday (according to the Tamil calender, this year it's a day before my "real" birthday) and I was so touched and thrilled that she took the effort to make me something special that I would've posted this recipe even if it wasn't fabulous. Well, but you know what... it IS fabulous!!! The sweetness of this recipe is just right for me, but some of you may need to make this sweeter according to your personal tastes. My mom made this without the dates (which I don't like) and orange rind, but the original recipe includes them. Please note that prep. time does not include cooling time. This is from "Sweet Encounters" by Sanjeev Kapoor. -- posted by Anu

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

Danish Rice Pudding

Tue, 27 Jan 2004 20:00:32 -0500

This recipe came to me from my husbands family. It was their custom and ours to hide a white nut in the pudding and whomever found the nut received a gift. Usually a box of chocolates for the kids or a bottle of wine for the adults. The game was to keep the nut hidden in your mouth until all the pudding was consumed. -- posted by Gilligan

Danish Christmas Rice Pudding

Thu, 24 Jun 2004 19:58:00 -0400

My mom and grandma use to make this every Christmas or special holiday, but it had to be extra special. This is a great dessert that keeps those great memories close by. This is an old recipe so keep in mind that not everything is exact. Use your own discretion when baking. 1/2 cup of packed rasins can be added to this dish, but I prefer it plain and served warm with whipped cream. -- posted by Smilyn

Mexican Tomato Rice and Beans

Thu, 05 May 2005 18:22:05 -0400

This is a good Tex-Mex side dish (or even a main dish) that isn't very spicy, but IS very garlicky. We had this with Recipe #120056. I didn't have quite enough of the fresh herbs so I mixed dried with fresh. From Fine Cooking (April/May 2005) -- posted by Vino Girl

Fri, 20 Jan 2006 12:49:07 -0500

Creamy Rice Pudding Layered With Berries

Thu, 23 Feb 2006 14:01:01 -0500

Rice pudding is a always a favorite. This version is so delightfully delicious because it is served with layer of berries and almonds in between the pudding, and garnished with cinnamon or nutmeg, finely processed almonds, whipped cream or non-dairy whipped topping, or/and fresh mint sprigs. This version is elegant enough for a dinner party when served in chilled fancy dessert cups, champagne glasses or parfait glasses. This is a combination of three different recipes found on Diana's Desserts, I love that site and the desserts turn out just like the pictures - beautifully. I already included the cooling time but didn't include time for cooking the rice, as it varies. -- posted by Manami

Vegetable Risotto With Smoked Mozzarella

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. My friend Judy has made this dish but I only had a little taste the next day. However, that little bit convinced me I wanted the recipe and here it is! -- posted by Manami

Chickpea Curry

My sister got this recipe in Chiang Mai, Thailand when she was staying with some locals during her travels. It's one of my favorites. Thai basil tastes best in the recipe but fresh sweet basil is good too. And if you like your curry hot, use 1 TBSP of curry paste. -- posted by Janice Y

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

Risotto With Leeks, Shiitake Mushrooms, and Truffles

Mon, 09 Feb 2009 11:22:33 -0500

This delicious vegetarian risotto adapted from Chef Gabriel Rucke, of "Le Pigeon" in Portland, OR and was printed in "Bon Appétit Magzine" (Sept. 2007). I cut down the fat and it is still very rich. If you want to prepare the original recipe, increase whipping cream to 3/4 cup, butter with the mushrooms to 1/4 cup and butter with the rice to 4 tablespoons. Can be served as an appetizer or a main dish. -- posted by blucoat

This is a twist on the regular Spanish rice. I stumbled upon this by accident when I opened a can of "Herdez Salsa Verde Mexicana picante" instead of green chillies.
