This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_8564-2-e1611524829864.jpgThis is a nice change of pace from regular rice.  Truth be told, The Goddess isn’t too enamored with rice.  Oh, it has its purpose.  Rice is good as a sponge to suck up sauces, but The Goddess will always, always take potatoes.  But, this rice…mmmmm!  This rice pilaf is delicious.   Continue reading →

Mediterranean Rice and Bean Salad with a Creamy Dressing

baby bell peppers, Celery, cooked rice, Dijon mustard, fennel bulb, garbanzo beans, Garlic, lemon juice, mayonnaise, olive oil, red onion

This is summer…or in this case, late spring, on a plate.  It’s perfect for lunch or dinner, and can go main course by adding some shrimp or tuna.  Use whatever beans you have in your cupboard, but garbanzo or kidney are my favorite for this salad. Continue reading →

Fish & Shrimp in Tomato Curry SauceFish curries don’t seem to be as popular as chicken, lamb or vegetable curries.  It’s too bad, because fish curries are really good.  This curry uses both fish and shrimp, which work very well together…friendly creatures of the sea, swimming together in a nice tomato-based curry sauce.  Continue reading →

Saffron Scented Chicken Curry with Chickpeas in Coconut Cream Sauce

bell peppers, chicken breasts, coconut milk, garbanzo beans, Garlic, herbs, kaffir lime leaves, Onions, peanuts, saffron, Spices, tomato paste

Saffron Scented Chicken Curry with Chickpeas in Coconut Cream SauceThough The Goddess tends toward being heavy-handed with garnishes on curry, this chicken curry has a very subtle curry flavor.  The flavors intermingle and literally “bounce” around your palate, but the “curry flavor” is a back flavor.  And, this curry is fast enough for a mid-week family meal and tasty enough for company.  Either way, it’s delicious.  Continue reading →

bell peppers, cheddar cheese, cooked rice, fire-roasted tomatoes, Garlic, herbs, Onions, Spices

This rice is along the line of the everyday rice many Mexican cooks prepare.  And it’s good.  It’s really delicious.  But, it’s so much more, because once you capture the basic, there are so many, many different flavor roads to travel down.  Think of this as just the beginning of your culinary journey.  Continue reading →

Skillet Pork Chops on a Bed of Onions and MushroomsThe Latin Lover worked through lunch, so we’re dining early tonight.  The Goddess had needed a quick-fix.  So pork chops over rice, that’s enriched with white wine and stock, as well as sautéed onions and mushrooms.  Into the oven and about 30 minutes later…dinner!  Continue reading →

Chaufa (Peruvian Fried Rice)Peruvian cuisine is wonderful.  If you have a Peruvian restaurant near you, and haven’t tried it.  Go.  Go right now.  Peruvian roast chicken is magic and magically delicious.  But today we’re making Chaufa Rice, Peru’s version of Chinese fried rice.  It’s simple.  It’s delicious.  And it also happens to be a great way to use leftover chicken or pork, if you don’t have fresh.  Continue reading →
