The Lundberg rice co. sent me many basmati rice recipes. Is there enough interest for me to share?

There's a bunch of recipes they sent; I won't share them all at once....here goes, the first one...

These first 6 are summer salads...FYI, here is a side hint for rice salads:

HOT TIPS FOR PERFECT RICE

1. The correct water to rice ratio is critical to having your rice turn out perfect every time.

2. Prepare rice the day before using 1 cup rice to 2 cups water. Refrigerate overnight.

3. If you are planning to serve a rice salad the same day that you prepare it, use 1 cup rice to 1-3/4 cups water. This creates a firmer grain.

Randi, I know about their website; When I called about the basmati rice recipe, she said they

didn't have that recipe any more; but that she'd send me pamphlets and a cookbook with their recipes plus they had more on the internet.

i did not realize that some of the same things were on the internet....ugh

now I guess I'll have to look up every recipe that's on every pamphlet and in this cookbook to make sure it's not on the internet. oh happy day

 
Marsha, made the rice with mushrooms and almonds that you first posted...

I didn't have that brand of rice, but enjoyed the recipe, thanks for sharing. Made it with some sauteed tilapia, I'm on a tilapia kick right now, it's a good tasting fish, imo.

 
goodness, they must have sent you a lot recipes. what a nice company to deal with smileys/smile.gif
