**Nutty Rice: A Culinary Journey Through History, Culture, and Taste**

Rice, a versatile grain celebrated across cultures, takes center stage in a symphony of flavors known as Nutty Rice. This delectable dish, spanning continents and centuries, embodies a harmonious blend of textures and tastes. From the fragrant aroma of toasted nuts to the comforting warmth of fluffy rice, Nutty Rice offers a culinary adventure that tantalizes the senses and nourishes the soul.

Our journey begins with a classic Indian Nutty Rice, an aromatic symphony of basmati rice, toasted cashews, almonds, and raisins, seasoned with a blend of fragrant spices. As we venture to Southeast Asia, we encounter Indonesian Nasi Goreng Kacang, where rice dances with crunchy peanuts, sweet kecap manis, and a medley of fresh vegetables.

Venturing further east, we discover Chinese Yangzhou Fried Rice, a vibrant medley of rice, eggs, vegetables, and an assortment of nuts. Back in the Middle East, we indulge in the savory delights of Saudi Arabian Ruz Bukhari, where rice mingles with tender lamb, fragrant spices, and the nutty crunch of toasted almonds.

Our exploration culminates with a delightful Spanish Arroz con Pollo, a harmonious blend of rice, chicken, and an array of vegetables, infused with the vibrant flavors of saffron and paprika. Each recipe unfolds a unique narrative, a reflection of its cultural heritage, inviting us to savor the diverse tapestry of Nutty Rice.

NUTTY BROWN RICE PILAF



Nutty Brown Rice Pilaf image

The pine nuts add the nutty flavour while the raisins bring a sweetness to the rice. I found this recipe in Canadian Living and it has become a staple. I wasn't a fan of brown rice until now. Try different brands as they do make a difference in texture and flavour, and the time for cooking can vary. Be careful when adding the pinch of cinnamon that a pinch is all you add or the flavour can be overpowering. Great as left overs.

NUTTY VEGETABLE RICE CASSEROLE



Nutty Vegetable Rice Casserole image

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.

Provided by Elise and family

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 40m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup rice, uncooked
1 1/2 cups water
8 large beet leaves, chopped
3 big carrots, chopped
3 tablespoons onions, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup almond butter
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375. Soak rice in water for ten minutes (in the pot you will cook it in).
  • While rice soaks, mix almond butter and milk throroughly in a small bowl. Set aside. Begin to chop carrots, onion, garlic and ginger.
  • Drain and rinse rice, and add fresh water. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer on medium-low for eight minutes.
  • While rice cooks, saute carrots, onion, garlic and ginger in a pan with olive oil until they begin to be tender. While these are cooking, stir occasionally and chop beet greens into bite-size pieces.
  • When rice is cooked, turn off heat and let stand, covered, for ten minutes.
  • While rice stands, add beet greens to vegetable saute and cook until just tender. I prefer not to overcook these so you still have a variety of textures in the casserole and it doesn't turn into a "blob".
  • When rice has stood for ten minutes, remove lid, add almond butter and milk mixture, and stir thoroughly. Add vegetable saute mixture and stir thoroughly.
  • Pour mixture (should be very thick) into a medium casserole and top with paprika and a bit of salt.
  • Cook at 375 for ten minutes, covered. Enjoy!
