Ideas for rice remnants (medium to large quantities)
Rice remnants can be stretched easily? if they are not quite enough for a complete meal. Here are a few variants:
Simple vegetable rice: Cut carrots and onions into small cubes and sauté. Add a little water or broth in small quantities to make everything beautiful. Some garlic, spices (grated Ingwar goes great!) And a few frozen peas. If the vegetables are cooked, just mix in the rice. Fresh parsley over it. Goes well with fish or poultry dishes.
Potato rice: Cut the potatoes and onions into small cubes and sauté in butter or olive oil. Season to taste (I think caraway fits for example very nice). Again, you can help with small amounts of broth or water that everything is even. Do not overdo it, it should not get muddy. Mix in the rice and fry everything nicely. Goes well with dishes with red meat or mushrooms.
Kushari (Egyptian Lentil Rice): Here about the same amount of green or brown lentils and the same amount of pasta (penne fits best, spaghetti not at all) like rice, boil (separately). The noodles as always, the lentils best in broth, double the amount as the lenses on medium heat, covered. Mix all three components. On top comes a kind of sauce consisting of canned tomatoes, a dash of balsamic vinegar and spices (bouillon cubes, cumin, coriander, garlic, paprika, pepper and a small bit of clove). And then very important: chickpeas (quiet also from the tin) and lots of crispy fried onions! Just do not save with the onions, these are the nuts and bolts of the matter. This dish is best served with steaming rice.
Rice snack: For the small hunger something fast. Tuna from the tin, a small onion to cut (spring onion, shallot or just the small brown) a shot of soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. If you want you can add some cucumber or tomato, or some fresh herbs. Mix in the rice and make the whole salad. Of course you can warm up the rice beforehand.
Larger remains:
Fits for a whole time, but not up for rice again? You do not have to eat the leftovers right tomorrow. In the refrigerator 2-3 days in a Tupperdose and then, very inconspicuously, serve to something else. Far East, sometimes Indian, or how about something fruity from Latin America? Rice can also freeze easily.
To warm up, best place in a shallow pot or a large pan with a lid. Without oil, but with some water down there (just as much as you would otherwise sear to fry). Let the water get hot for a while, put the rice on it, then let it stand covered on a very small heat (about 10 minutes). The water evaporates and warms the rice evenly, without what becomes sticky or sticky.
So let's cook some more rice. He will surely be eaten.
