My friend Alice is Mexican and of course makes spanish rice, lol. She gave me her recipe, which is basically by eyeball. I know it by heart and it is the best spanish rice!

Creamy Wild Mushroom and Wild Rice Casserole

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 12:08:59 -0400

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

Vegetarian Black-Eyed Peas & Rice

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:16:52 -0400

From The Black Family Reunion cookbook. While growing up, my grandmother, rhoda Weekes, was known among family and friends as the master of black-eyed peas and rice. You may think I'm exaggerating, but I can remember folks coming from throughout the tri-state area if they heard Mother was "cookin' up a pot." I'd watch her throw a bit of this and a dash of that into the kettle. It still warms my spirit to remember her creating her magical dish, while I kept her company in her big, beautiful kitchen. I'm no longer a meat-eater, so the following is my vegetarian version of Rhoda Weekes' black-eyed peas and rice.-Susan L. Taylor, Editor-in-Chief, Essence Magazine -- posted by mightyro_cooking4u

Needed some flavorful rice to go with the spicy marinated chicken I was grilling so made up this quick, easy and super tasty recipe. If you don't have a poblano chile, you can use a jalapeno, or any other green pepper like it. If you don't want spicy, you can use a regular green bell pepper. This rice was so tasty, can't wait to eat the leftovers! Also, if you don't have the powdered chicken bouillon (I use Knorr) then you can use one cube, or just replace the water with 1 can chicken broth. -- posted by Melvin'sWifey

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.

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

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

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.

I got this recipe from my Mom who made this when we were visiting and it was so good, and my kids loved it! I've made it myself now several times, and it's such a quick and easy meal to do on a busy night. I like to make my rice using the chicken broth, it helps the rice to have a nice flavor, but you can just use water. -- posted by LDSMom128

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!

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®

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

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

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

Sausage and Wild Rice Chowder

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:26:13 -0500

A rich, creamy chowder that's a real hit at my house in the cold, Minnesota winters. You can make this in a deep skillet, but I like to use a deep pot or my dutch oven. -- posted by Bread'n'Butter
