Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hi, I have a wonderful recipe for Pilau Rice and am looking for suggestions on what to serve with it. I've always served Curry dishes with it but clients complain too much about curry. Personally I love it. Anyway - if anyone has suggestions as to what to serve with it I'd love to hear them. Thanks Samantha Pilau Rice - 25 servings Hot Veg. Broth 2 quarts margarine 1 c. Garlic, minced 1 1/2 Tabl. cinnamon stick 2 Cardamom couple dashes Bay leaf Raisins 3 1/3 c. Basmati Rice, rinsed & drained 1 1/4 quart Almonds 2 cups Heat margarine in a large saucepan and saute the onion and garlic for 5 minutes. Stir in the cinamon stick, cardamoms and bay leaf and cook for 2 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring for about 2 minutes. Pour in the stock and add the raisins. Cover the pan and leave to cook gently for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed. Meanwhile heat a small amount of oil in a wok or frying pan and brown the almonds. Drain on paper towels. Scatter over rice and serve.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 hmmm... I'd have to taste this to be sure... (and will soon !) but what about a nice portabella mushroom either as a burger, or just as a 'steak " try marinading in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic.. a little sea salt, bake in the marinade, and then top with some large tomato slices, some big red onion slices, maybe some mozzarella (I used soy.. vegan gourmet) with the tomatoes & onions on top of the cheese... broil to melt the cheese and give it that bubbly burnt look.. yummmm On Wednesday, November 2, 2005, at 12:51 PM, vegrecipescook wrote: > Hi, > I have a wonderful recipe for Pilau Rice and am looking for > suggestions on what to serve with it.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Mmmm, I would make a lentil loaf to serve with it. And I'd add chipotle sauce as the topping, instead of ketchup. I think that would go nicely with the slight cinnamon and cardomon flavor. And then some cooked greens or steamed broccoli.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Hi Samantha: Instead of curry what about something cooked in yogurt and spices the yogurt makes it more of a mild taste. Gayle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 That sounds good. I've never actually done that. Maybe there are recipes in the file section. I'll look.
