Related Easy Quinoa, Cumin & French Bean Pilaf February 25, 2013 In "Entree" Mushroom and barley 'risotto' I love to use dried porcini mushrooms with fresh mushrooms when making this barley ‘risotto’. Or any mushroom risotto in fact. The flavour adds such depth, and the water that re-hydrates the mushrooms makes a lovely intense stock. This is one of the recipes I developed for Nomu for their May recipe mailer, and its perfect Winter comfort food. I have used a selection of mixed exotic mushrooms to make up the fresh component of the dish. I love the meaty texture of shiitake, and adore the look of enoki. Use any mushrooms that you like, although I find white button mushrooms the least suitable for risotto.

I have used barley here because I love the nutty taste, but you can make a traditional risotto rice, just reduce the cooking time. Dont be afraid to add butter, Mascarpone or cream at the end. Recipe | serves 2 Soak the dried mushrooms in 1 cup of boiling water for about 20 minutes. In a heavy based pot, heat the olive oil and gently sauté the onions for about 5 minutes to soften.

Jollof Rice | Fauzia's Kitchen Fun. First prepare the tomato sauce. This sauce forms the base of the rice dish and can be prepared up to a week ahead and frozen until needed. Put the tomatoes, capsicum and scotch bonnet in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the oil to a pot, allow it to heat up then add in the chopped onion and fry until softened.

Then add the garlic paste and tomato paste. Stir them in and fry on medium heat for 2 minutes. Next add the blended tomato/pepper/chilli mixture, bay leaves, thyme, paprika powder, salt and pepper. Now on to the rice. Take a big pot, add the 4 tbsp of oil and allow it to heat up. For every cup of rice, I normally use one and a quarter cups of liquid/stock. Now add the broth or water (remember to add the stock cubes if you are using water). Once you find there is very little liquid left in the rice, reduce the heat to the lowest point possible. Leave the rice to continue steaming on very low heat for a good 10 mins. Enjoy! Summer Squash Couscous with Sultanas, Pistachios and Mint Recipe on Food52. Cooking is more fun with friends.

Ingredients: Quinoa Vegetarian Meatballs {GF} - American Heritage Cooking. Instead of all the pumpkin and apple baking that I should be doing, I’ve been going a little quinoa crazy! I have been using it in everything from salad (coming soon!) To these Quinoa Vegetarian Meatballs. I just can’t get enough! I used to think of homemade, Italian meatballs as an occasional indulgence, but these quinoa meatballs are so easy to pull together and healthy that they are sure to become a regular dish instead! These chewy, substantial, vegetarian meatballs are packed with Italian flavors.

The fresh herbs and cheese make you forget that there is no meat to be found, and the quinoa creates a texture that is reminiscent of meat. I take the extra step of pan searing before baking them to give them the nice crunchy, seared exterior that is characteristic of a traditional Italian meatball. Whether or not you are vegetarian, you and your family will love these easy meatless meatballs! You might want to make a double batch because they’ll be gone before you know it!

Ingredients Notes: Mushroom and butternut risotto – {vegan, gluten-free} Even tough Fall is not my favourite time of the year, there is some food that makes you forget about the cold, the rain and the dark days. Comfort food of course like chocolate, but also the typical Fall vegetables like mushrooms and butternut. A typical risotto is made with parmesan cheese and white wine, but for this version I wanted to try a vegan option.

So no wine and no cheese, this gave me the opportunity to use the nutritional yeast i bought a few weeks. Nutritional yeast is often used in the vegan kitchen as a replacement for cheese, but is also packed with vitamin B12. 3 cups mushrooms1 butternut2½ cups vegetable broth1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste3 tablespoon olive oil, divided5 large cloves garlic½ cup finely chopped onions1 teaspoon dried thyme1 cup uncooked Arborio rice1 ½ tablespoon nutritional yeastBlack pepper, to taste. Spinach Rice Gratin Recipe. I opened my sister's freezer the other day and was greeted by stacks of individually portioned, vacuum sealed lasagnas.

My sister is seventeen months pregnant right now - kidding, but that's how she feels. She told me they've been stock-piling easy, meals they can simply reheat or pop in the oven once the baby arrives. This got me thinking about healthy, baked, single-pan recipes. I threw this together the other night using a bunch of things I had on hand - brown rice, spinach, black olives, crumbled tofu, a bit of cheese, pine nuts, and a few eggs.

It's the kind of thing you could prep in advance and pop in the oven anytime it's convenient. In short, I tossed all the ingredients together in a big bowl, turned them out into a baking dish, and after a thirty minute stint in the oven sat down to a hearty plate of baked rice flecked with spinach. Come to think of it - you could bake portions of the rice mixture in individual ramekins - that might be cute. Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Simply the best! Simply the best! Tired of eating out perpetually this festive season? Complex times call for simple meals. Opt for dal and rice, the simplest of them all ANUSHRUTI RK It is an intrinsic part of every Indian meal.

Given below is the recipe for an elegant dal and pulao, which is sure to satisfy your palate. Three dal delight Ingredients Method Soak the dals together for an hour and strain. Pea pilaf (matar pulao) Heat the ghee.

Author Notes: This delicate, golden-hued risotto made with creamy butternut squash/pumpkin is autumn on a plate.

You could technically cook the squash/pumpkin any way you prefer with this. A note on cooking risotto: The rice should be creamy but al dente (with a bit of a bite), and it should contain enough liquid that the risotto is "al onda", which means "like a wave" -- when you wobble the dish or pan it should be loose and flatten out easily, not sit upright on the plate.

May 13, 2013. Food52. Posie Harwood, who finds the best back-of-the-box recipes in the grocery store, calls 2016 the year of teff porridge. Come January 1, there's no shortage of predictions for the new year's upcoming trends. There's also no shortage of talk about healthy, nourishing foods. Couple those two together, and imagine my surprise when teff porridge doesn't show up anywhere! If there were ever a candidate for the newest food obsession, teff porridge is it.

Teff is a tiny grain, smaller than a poppy seed, which has been cultivated for centuries in Ethiopia. Teff has a nutty, earthy flavor and a texture similar to polenta when cooked. This year, try making teff porridge instead of oatmeal. For your first foray into the world of teff porridge, follow this recipe as written. No offense, oatmeal: You've served and nourished us well in the past.

The first vegetarian christmas we celebrated (back in the 90′s), me and my sister looked through mum’s cook book shelf to find some kind of christmas recipe without ham, turkey or meatballs. It wasn’t easy, Swedish Christmas tables usually looks something like this. Finally we did find a Saffron Couscous recipe that we tried and we have made it almost every Christmas since then. This year we have changed the couscous for bulgur. Maybe I should add that saffron is one of the most important Christmas spices in Sweden. We use it in buns, cakes and all kinds of food.
