I don't know about you all, but I love rice dishes! I try to get a lot of those if I can, I love my rice and my vegetables and meats. pretty good if I may say. do you like them? what sort of rice dish or bowl recipe do you have in hand?
Chicken and pork roasts are usually good with rice. Just make the roast in a crockpot or the oven, and make sure you keep the juice as the gravey to mix with it. An easy rice recipe is dirty rice which is basically just ground beef with rice and any vegetables that you like. Rice is a good source to make caseroles to, especially with chicken or sausage.
If you're gonna use rice, use the brown or long-grained stuff. Tastes better, more filling. And yeah love doing roasts or chicken hindquarters over rice.
I did an interesting thing the other night with rice. It was sort of an accident but turned out really good. It was one of those, "we reeeeeally need to go grocery shopping" kind of nights. I seasoned some tilapia with garlic powder and black pepper. Then I cooked it in olive oil in a skillet. I had one of those Uncle Ben's instant microwavable Spanish Rice packets. I thought it was Garlic and Herb but it turned out to be Spanish rice. Anyway, I crumbled the fish into the rice and my family acted like I had served them a gormay meal. lol
I just ghot a bunch of recipes from a book called The Survival Mom that I'm planning on trying. Rice is an excelent food for long term storage so allot of her dishes have rice.
Talapia is also a really high-protein high-meat fish that can be grown yourself apparently. I have not yet tried this and don't know how one would do it without eyes. You need to own your own property and the best way is to use a hydroponics system by which the fish fertilize the plants, who provide oxygen to the fish and from what I have read, you end up eating a lot of talapia.
Anyway a bit off-topic but still. You're right about rice and preservation, especially the stuff that's not processed but still has the shells on it like brown and wild.
brown rice is the only kind worth eating. i just made a rattitoule spelling with it. i cut up two kinds of squash, a yellow pepper, a vdalia onion and sauteed them all together. then i cut up some basil leaves a neighbor gave me. added those to the saute. also at the same time some garlic pepper and then i added a can of mexican stewed tomatoes chopped. covered and cooked for 20 minutes or so. then added some monterey jack shreeded cheese. then, i had a pack of brown rice and quinoa that i got from costco. it's already cooked. by it self it is kind of nasty. it has some weird spice i don't like in it. anyway, if you add the pack to any dish and heat through it really sparks things up. my husband who is not a vegetarian kind of guy said it was damn good.
I love brown rice. I hadn't had it til a few years ago. I grew up on the instant white rice but brown rice is so much better.
love brown rice here as well. and some of tthose sound really good!
I love brown or wild rice!! I made some turkey soup the other day and added brown rice to it. It was soooo good!!
