jazzing up white rice

My favorite way to jazz up white rice is to fold in onion tarka and minced green onions at the end. For the liquid I use either stock or coconut milk...it is delicious!

Here is a recipe if you like - http://rouxbe.com/recipes/64-pilau-rice/text

Anyone watching the Batali/Paltrow show on PBS?

I am currently watching the show (just for the food and scenery really)....and I have to say "I love and understand all of your comments". Nice to see that others can see through the pretentiousness.

I also remember seeing that episode on Oprah where they cooked the paella..I was so mad. If you are going to try and teach people something at least try and do it right. Argh....makes me mad! Who in their right mind would cook the prawns before the rice. Dios Mio!

That being said Spain sure is amazing. I was a Nanny there when I was in my late teens and it was great. I just wish I appreciated food then like I do now. If anyone wants it, here is a recipe for the tortilla de patata (which I learned to make when I was there) http://rouxbe.com/recipes/77/text - this was my all time favorite thing to eat while I was there....so yummy!

Dinner Tonight: Lemon Chicken with Rice

This does look delicious thanks for the recipe. And FYI a béchamel made with stock instead of milk is actually a velouté. Veloutés are great for things like chicken pot pie and many other dishes.

We actually did a whole cooking course on this at rouxbe. Not sure if you have heard of us, but we have an online cooking school.

Well anyhoo, thanks for sharing your yummy recipe, will give it a try.

I've been writing Croque-Camille: Food adventures in Paris for a little over a year and a half, and I just started a mini-blog called Seasonal Market Menus, which is all about cooking from my CSA share.

Look, all of us want more blog traffic, and there is no way we can read all of our collective blogs, but we should really make an effort to check out at least other 5 SE's blogs if we post our own in this thread --after all, not fair to 'shill' if you don't help others out!

So wonderful to have so many fellow writers! I actually have two blogs to share. One is my personal blog: www.thedilettantista.wordpress.com which covers, well, EVERYTHING, cooking, restaurants, movies, etc. I started it this summer when I was living in New York City for an internship, so it is especially heavy on NYC eating.

I am also a contributing writer to Carpe Durham, a food blog that focuses on eating in Durham, North Carolina. The blog was started a few years ago by Duke law students, and I am a newer writer. The blog is a great source if you live in the Triangle area!

@Madelyn -- KarmaFreeCooking is one of my favorite blogs! I love it. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into it.

While I'm at it, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you food bloggers. The time, effort, and enthusiasm you all put into your blogs delights, entertains, and educates the rest of us.

Thank you all!

jazzing up white rice

I like to cook rice in chicken broth with slivers of onions, a can of drained mushroom pieces and some caraway seed. I have done this for years and it has always gone over well with my family. Some folks might not like the taste of caraway, but it is well liked here in my house in recipes featuring sauerkraut and apples, rye bread and in white rice. Try it, you'll like it.
