Healthy and yummy #rice #mushrooms

Inspired from a Japanese cooking show that I watched. This one is fairly easy and tasty.

This is my own variation of a recipe that I found on a Middle Eastern cooking book. I rearranged it so I can cook it in a rice cooker.The key when you cook pilaf in a rice cooker is not to mix the ingredients. Place them on top of the rice, and it will turn out well. Recipe by greenta

I remade the Milan-style baked pilaf from a certain chain restaurant!You can use store-bought meat sauce.You can use water or consommé when cooking the turmeric rice! Recipe by Cooking S Papa

Our nearby mountain lake grows some of the very best wild rice, nutty and creamy in flavor. And fresh oyster mushrooms grow on the kitchen counter every 30 days, they are ready to harvest today. We also saved shiitake mushrooms from last fall by air drying in the air fryer.Shiitake mushrooms taste like beef. Oyster mushrooms taste like lobster. Porcini mushrooms taste like smoked ham.A pilaf is rice cooked in broth, in this case porcini mushroom broth. The mushrooms are sauteed in white cooking wine. Shallots are glazed till sweet and optional small wagyu meat balls are browned served as a side dish. I use half a teaspoon of japanese bonito fish dashi powder to bring all these unique flavors together in a festive dish, but , for vegans, you can substitute dashi with soy sauce.By serving wagyu meatballs on the side, this dish can be vegan or traditional.#GlobalApron

Hi everyone!! I’m not sure but I think because March has kicked in I am definitely starting to feel that Spring fever….I can’t seem to sit in one place and especially in front of my computer to write my post. It took me a few hours but I finally just sat down!! 🙂 but I keep staring out the window at the trees, the flowers, which I’ve noticed have started to bloom, (make note to myself time to start planting my herbs) people walking with their dogs, jogging, some ladies chatting away, actually quite unusual?? Did everyone take the day off? hmmmOk, I need to gather my thoughts and write this recipe, a Mussel and Rice dish that is so delicious that I am sure you will enjoy..of course that is if you enjoy eating Mussels..:) This recipe is usually made in the summer, but I can’t seem to wait a couple of month so I went ahead and made it today. I went to our local fish market this morning and was so happily surprised because they have a huge variety of fishes to select from. Shrimps to Salmon to some large fish, that I don’t even think I have ever seen before…click, click, click, many delicious ideas came to mind..:)Spring fever, Summer fever that’s what’s going on in my head at the moment. 🙂 Is anyone else out there feeling like me or is it just me..???

Simple and easy pilaf

This is my take on a rice pilaf. It makes a perfect side dish for most proteins.

I uploaded a curry pilaf recipe before, but over the years, I've refined the recipe. So I deleted the old one and uploaded this one. This one is delicious.Make sure to use less water than usual, for the rice to be firm and separate.Adjust the water level after adding the dissolved soup stock and soy sauce.The saltiness of the curry powder differs by brand, so adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.I used curry powder that only contains spices, no salt.

My grandmother refused to make regular plain whit rice. She was a strong independent Armenian woman that I loved with all my heart and soul. If you were going to eat rice in her home it was going to be eaten her way, and that way was Pilaf.
