Quorn Chili

Tue, 21 Feb 2006 15:09:26 -0500

After my inital surprise that there were either very few or no recipes with the versatile vegetarian ingredient Quorn. I thought I should introduce you Americans to this great product. I believe it can be bought in the frozen sections of most large health food stores in the US and in all the big supermarkets (chiller and freezer sections) in the UK. It's great for vegetarians as well as a change for meat eaters. Give it a try! -- posted by Janette1

You can find this rice in Italian markets or specialty foods in your local grocery stores. -- posted by Lauralie41

Perfect Japanese Rice.

Thu, 06 Jul 2006 16:42:31 -0400

basic onigiri (riceball) recipe. Add any filling you want I particularly like Egg scrambled with some soy sauce (dark) and toasted (brush with a little miso mixed with sake and grill) Onigiri can be very hard to handmake. Moulds are available but difficult to get in the UK without paying high prices, small jelly mould or egg cups work really well. -- posted by PinkCherryBlossom

I got this recipe with the cookbook that came with my first Microwave and I've been using it ever since! The rice comes out perfect every time. No muss, no fuss and can be served in the casserole dish you cooked it in. You can also use this method for brown rice but increase your cooking time a little. -- posted by Katiedid

Rice Chile Verde

Tue, 14 Nov 2006 16:31:11 -0500

This is a recipe given to my Mother by friends in the 70's? I was forbidden to share it but I like sharing and think everyone should have a chance to try it! It's ooey gooey cheesy yummy! It uses "mild" green chilies not hot ones. Everyone that tries it requests the recipe. It is very bad for you but worth having at least once a year for a potluck. I've had friends try to make it with lowfat or nonfat ingredients and it doesn't work. I also have tried mixing all the ingredients together and it doesn't taste as good, the layers matter (even though they melt together)! I usually double or triple it and bake it in a removable crock from my crockpot then put it on low in the crockpot for potlucks. If you do this the layers are still the same but double or triple the amount in each layer. I usually assemble it the night before and put it in the oven right before the event. For extra gooeyness add extra jack cheese in the layers to completely coat them. Remember for a single recipe: you are using 3 cups of "cooked" white rice which is made from 1 cup of dry rice. One cup of cooked rice per layer (3 layers). Enjoy! Very yummy with my Recipe#233148. -- posted by Engrossed

I don't remember where I got this recipe. I think I cut it out of the local newspaper years ago. It's really easy and I think it could be modified easily to meet your tastes. I often use boil-a-bag rice for easy preparation, and have often used dried parsley (still using 1/2 cup) and it always turns out great. -- posted by Karen67

Chinese Fried Rice

Thu, 11 Jan 2007 19:22:21 -0500

This was my mother's favorite way to use up leftover white rice. It really doesn't taste like the fried rice you get at a restaurant, but it still a great meal. I typically throw in whatever vegetables I have in my kitchen, and leave out the shrimp or chicken. I also cut this down to accommodate the amount of rice I have. Cooking time does not include making rice, chicken or shrimp since this is usually made out of leftovers. -- posted by Karen67

Isaiah's Vegetarian Paella [ Kosher ]

Fri, 16 Mar 2007 17:08:08 -0400

This kosher, vegan paella recipe owes its inspiration to Studentchef's "Recipe #175908" (Thank you, Studentchef!) This is a variation of that recipe that contains more traditional paella flavors and is made in such a way that creates a "socarrat", the crusty layer of browned, caramelized rice at the bottom of the pan which adds a certain je ne sais quois to paella. The wider your pan is, the thinner the layer of rice will be and the more flavorful, chewy socarrat you will be able to create. You can also try replacing some of the broth with a splash of white wine, and using marinated artichoke hearts in addition to the other vegetables. -- posted by What's Cooking?

" I Thought I Had Nothing to Eat" Rice

Fri, 16 Mar 2007 18:26:57 -0400

I have no money, so I had to make something to eat out of what I had hanging around (not much). This is what I ended up with!! I had to eat it by itself, but I think it would be good with a juicy steak or some grilled marinated portabello mushrooms. The flavor of the rice depends on the tea; I'm thinking about making some rice with lemon tea and black pepper, basil, dill and red pepper to have with some fish. I used 1/4 teaspoon as a standard measurement for all the spices, they are meant to be "to taste". -- posted by Sarah 11879

Pressure Cooker Risotto With Vegetables Du Jour

Tue, 17 Jul 2007 15:16:09 -0400

This is a good recipe to use up those extra vegetables you have in your fridge at the end of a long week. It's super fast and always gives good results. The long way is better (isn't it always?), but this method will work in a pinch. One word of caution: I have tried being super lazy and putting raw veggies in the cooker with the rice initially but the results are pretty mushy. It's definitely worth the extra effort to steam the veggies in the microwave or steamer and add them when the rice is done. -- posted by Eat Your Vegetables!

I'm a Michigan native, and don't do a lot of creole cooking, but I enjoy french creole food quite a bit. I developed this vegan version of the classic New Orleans recipe for my fiancee. It is a healthier version of the original that nobody will object to. You can add ham or sausage for a more traditional take.

It could simmer away on the back of the stove while folks were buisy with the Monday laundry. -- posted by Chef #1180651

Zarela's Famous Creamy Rice Casserole from Aaron Sanchez

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 10:50:55 -0400

I love Aaron Sanchez. He is one of my favorite TV chefs. He runs a number of restaurants. The one he runs with his mother is called Zarela's, his mother's first name. He was on a show called, "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" with his mother. His choice was Zarela's creamy, cheesy rice dish. This is what Zarela wrote after the show. I am posting it here so I don't lose the recipe. "I was just on the Food Network show The Best Thing I Ever Ate with my son, chef and Food Network star, Aaron Sanchez and within minutes viewers were going to my web site www.zarela.com, signing up for updates and writing me to share the recipe. Thank you very much for your interest and I hope you enjoy our famous creamy rice casserole. This is a superior party dish that can be easily pre-assembled and reheated just prior to serving. This is why it is high on the list of all caterers in Northern Mexico, myself included. What makes it a favorite of all eaters is that it has layers of flavors - creamy and hot, crunchy corn kernels, and the cilantro adds a refreshing after-taste." -- posted by Felina

Tea-Infused Rice

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 11:42:53 -0400

I found myself with a partial can of sweetened-condensed milk, and just couldn't let it go to waste. Sadly, you have to use bagged tea or this just won't work. If you have your own tea bags/pouches, you can bag whatever loose leaf flavours you wish! Check out the "winning combinations" at the bottom, to see which variations I've tried and love. You can make this recipe without a rice cooker, but rice cookers >> pots. -- posted by BritHans

Nutty Vegetable Rice Casserole

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 01:11:34 -0400

This sticks to the ribs! A hearty one-dish meal with comforting flavour and lots of good protein and vitamins. An excellent meal if you want something that fills you up like a meat dish, but is not a meat dish. -- posted by Elise and family

Greek Stuffed Tomatoes With Rice or Domates Yemistes

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:39:54 -0400

This is wonderful recipe I got a from a Greek church cookbook from Tucson, Arizona. They are wonderful hot or col, the day you make them or the next day for lunch. I usually make them to go with a lamb roast and then have the leftovers for lunch the next day. You won't be disappointed! -- posted by hollygollygee

Sunday's Best Rice Pudding (Traditional Style)

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:16:07 -0500

In memory of my dad who used to take me to Pickwick Restaurant for rice pudding every Sunday afternoon. This is the closest recipe I could find to that which was served at the restaurant: Creamy with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. Delicious whether served warm or cold with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Also, if prepared ahead, rice pudding makes a quick breakfast in case you're too much in a hurry to make oatmeal. -- posted by Rachael Potter

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
