Harvest Paella With Shrimp

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 13:25:42 -0400

This comes from the Harris Teeter grocery store flyer. I am guessing on the servings because it does not say. Nor does it say which size package of Rice Pilaf, so I chose the 6 oz. package in order to get the calories included in the count. I am putting it here for safe keeping and look forward to soon making it. -- posted by Debaylady

Brown Rice Paella

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:07:23 -0400

I found this on the web. I love paella...specially after a trip to Spain. But I switch to brown rice a few years back, so I wanted to have my paella and my brown rice. I did a search on the web and found this recipe which I've been making ever since. I love it, hope you will too. I'm not really sure about the time so it's a guess. -- posted by Chef BennyBoo

Stir-Fried Rice With Pork

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:10:58 -0400

A very easy recipe. If you have left over rice and you are in a hurry this is the recipe to make. The rice needs to be cold in order to fry right. You can use less rice if you like or more hot pepper flakes if you like it really hot. -- posted by Catnip46

Easy One Pot Lentils and Rice

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 11:49:39 -0400

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

Turkey Casserole

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:39:04 -0400

This is my favorite turkey casserole. Chicken can be substituted. Great for left over Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey. I found this recipe many years ago in a newspaper. My sons especially liked the cheese topping so I used to double the topping ingredients. Whether I serve it at home or bring out, I always get compliments and often asked for the recipe. -- posted by Truffle Lady46

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

Oil Free Oven Fried Rice

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:57:40 -0400

This is another recipe my BF's mother gave me that I have revamped and made healthier. The original recipe called for 1/2 cup oil which I felt was unnecessary, I removed it completely and the recipe still turned out great. It also called for 3 ½ cups water and 2 chicken bouillon cubes; I cut down on the sodium by using low sodium chicken broth instead. -- posted by katdi

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

Quick & Easy Shrimp and Pea Risotto

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:22:47 -0400

A really simple risotto recipe, full of flavour but a healthy alternative without any cream so can be enjoyed even on a low fat diet. My whole family love this and we make it regularly, it was just a recipe that came together after experimenting a few times. This serves about 3 with decent portions but is easy to double up for larger groups. -- posted by .x. Lauren .x.

Hamburger Pilaf

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:01:37 -0400

This makes a fast one dish "hamburger helper" type meal. Be sure to use a good beef broth as it provides a great deal of flavour for your dish. Sometimes I add sliced mushrooms that I saute with the onion & pepper. This can also be made with ground chicken, using chicken broth. -- posted by Sweet PQ?

Unstuffed Bell Pepper Skillet

We love the traditional stuffed bell pepper dish. In fact, I have a stuffed pepper recipe already posted.

The following is what I came up with and is not only delicious but effortless. -- posted by shelbyrose

Porcupine Meatballs W/Cheese Soup

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:17:49 -0400

This is a twist on the classic porcupine meatballs, traditionally made with tomato soup. One night, my mother had Campbell's cheddar cheese soup on hand instead of tomato soup. She then served the meatballs over rice. The rest is history! This has been a favorite in my family for years, and is now a favorite in my husband's family. -- posted by mamabean

One Pot Vegan/Vegetarian Rice and Lentils Dish - Khichdi

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:29:26 -0400

This is a popular dish in North India, and is quick, easy and fuss free. Everyone has their own way of doing it, and this is the way i do it. When i am exhausted and too tired to do much else, i make this dish. Other people use a lesser amont of lentil to rice, but i use a 50/50 cos thats the way my husband likes it, moist. Some people prefer it drier. The choice is yours. You can also vary the type of rice and split lentil you use, but then cooking times will vary. -- posted by Sudika

A1 Ultimate Jambalaya

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 10:05:01 -0500

I could live on this! Everybody loves this one, and agrees that its better than any Jambalaya they've ever ordered in a restaurant. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed I promise. The secret is the roasted red peppers and the butter. Don't be put off that the dish is finished in the microwave, it just ensures that there are no burnt pans to deal with later! The only other veg that work in this I find are sweetcorn or butternut squash/pumpkin cut into chunks and added just before it all goes in the microwave. Even my friends from Louisiana find it hard to accept that its perhaps even better (If not a little different) than they make. Enjoy! -- posted by robd16

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:57:46 -0500

This soup is vaguely a borscht, with a sweet & sour tang and a red-tinged broth. I've settled on tomato paste as cheap and the right tomato-iness for us. I used to freeze cubes of crushed tomatoes and use five or so in a batch of soup. One friend put garden-fresh tomatoes in. -- posted by 10in10Diet.com

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

Fried Fish With Rice (Kuwaiti & Emratie)

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 14:20:44 -0500

Fish with rice is often served in homes in the Arabian Gulf. Kuwaitis in particular love their Zubadi (Silver Pomfret) fish that is local to them but can be found in the frozen section of many Middle Eastern & Asian shops. (You may have to degut them yourself). While some prefer to eat them dry with rice, others like ourselves, make Recipe #387327 to serve as an accompaniment. This recipe is a very tasty combination from three sources which all deserve credit, Sa-mak ma-ga-lee - Fried Fish from From "The Complete United Arab Emirates Cookbook", by Celia Ann Brock- Al Ansari, Mtabag Simach from "Cardamom and Lime: Recipes from the Arabian Gulf", by Sarah Al-Hamad, and http://mimisrecipes.blogspot.com. -- posted by UmmBinat

Ww Low Fat Taco Beef Skillet Dinner

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 17:16:03 -0500

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. Using extra lean beef, this recipe has a total of 19 Weight Watchers points by British points calculations. -- posted by Shuzbud

A sort of sweet, salty, but also a slightly spicy treatment of chicken and rice. The amount of Jalapeno Peppers you use is of course up to you. And if you have a favorite, but different method for cooking Pilafs, then go ahead, because Cooking is a Creative Sport. -- posted by Bill Hilbrich

Broccoli, Rice & Ground Beef Casserole

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 00:42:07 -0500

I make this casserole frequently for supper because it is cheap, fast, filling and great for kids. It's even good for very young kids who are just beginning to eat table foods. When I was a kid, we would have this as a side dish for holiday dinners, but I make it as a simple supper with crackers or dinner rolls and salad. You can substitute ingredients to fit what you have on hand. -- posted by AmberMomOfTwoBoys

Black Beans and Rice With Veggies

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 19:47:35 -0500

This is a modification of a simpler recipe I found online - I used less beans and added celery, carrots, and tomatoes, plus a few other mods. I'm just posting it so I can get the nutritional values of this version, but if someone else wants to use it, enjoy! -- posted by Nell Gwyn

Vegetarian Brown Rice Casserole

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 13:31:10 -0500

Vegetarian main dishes often require hours of chopping and cooking, and a laundry list of ingredients but not in this dish. This easy casserole turns a can of vegetarian lentil soup into a hearty casserole with the help of nutritious, ready-to-serve whole-grain brown rice, canned vegetables, and cheddar cheese. Because all of the ingredients go into the casserole already cooked (canned vegetables are simply cooked vegetables in a can), all they need is a few minutes in a microwave before they are delightfully done and ready to serve. -- posted by Chef #1365024

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

Solo Chicken Mushroom Pilaf

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 10:03:52 -0500

There is usually just enough flavorful liquid in the final dish to prompt me to eat this with a spoon. The natural flavoring of the mushrooms is similar to MSG and when paired with the sweetness of sauted onions, that was enough flavor for me. However Cooking is a Creative Sport, so feel free to add spices. -- posted by Bill Hilbrich

Mommom Faiella's Italian Sausage Scallopini

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:10:45 -0500

The aroma of the herbs and mushrooms cooking on the stove will be very pleasant to your senses. This is almost straight out of my grandmother's recipe book. The only changes my mother made to this recipe were to substitute canned mushrooms with fresh mushrooms and to add a bit more seasonings. -- posted by The Foodgitive

Mother's Always Right Stuffed Peppers

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:20:14 -0500

Be warned, listen to my mother- when she says to be careful with the peppers when straining because they may fall apart, it means be careful with the peppers when straining because they may fall apart. I broke 2 out of 3 peppers because of my lack of direction following. I had to use the broken peppers and cut them in half, laying the filling on the top. -- posted by The Foodgitive
