Hi, my name is Eve, but my nick-name is EveL. I have many interests and you can expect to find blog postings here that may be humorous, philosophical, Foodie thoughts & recipes, or detailed information about whatever crazy-ass subject I happen to be thinking about that day. I am a recent widow, a mom, a cat-owner of two perversely wicked felines, a great cook, a rotten baker, a real estate agent & a Christian. I live in two vastly different places: Matthews, NC (suburbia) & the rainforest at Lake Arenal in Costa Rica (paradise). Come with me and I will tell you tales...

FOODIE ALERT (& Spouses - Xmas is coming!) "Pink Rice"

FOODIE ALERT (& Spouses - Xmas is coming!)

by Eve L. Kummert on Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 8:43pm
FOODIE ALERT! Cooks: this was fab. Cook spouses: this is X-mas present material.
{Spouses: "Tastefully Simple - Smoked Paprika & Garlic Dip Mix" (talk to Kay), AND a "Spoonula" re: Giada at Target.}

PINK RICE:
1 cup Basmati rice (I like HT- Natural Organic)
1 1/2 Tbs butter
small drizzle of vegetable oil
1 3/4 cup chicken broth
1 Tbs (heaping) TS - Paprika mix stuff
if you dare - more sweet &/or spicy paprika
Melt butter & veg oil (mix fats so they won't burn), add raw rice, cook slowly on med-low heat for about 8 minutes, stirring frequently. The point is to slightly "toast" the rice grains so they give off a nutty flavor. NO brown! Pour in the broth and stir in the "Tastefully Simple - Smoked Paprika & Garlic Dip Mix" and any extra paprika that you dare. Stir with your wonderfully useful Spoonula.
Cover. Bring to boil, stir and turn to low. Cook for 15 mins at low, stirring occasionally.
This is FABULOUS!!!!!!!
(I'm thinking 10 out of 10)
