Slow Cooker Spicy Fruit and Nut Chicken Pilaf

I've always bought frozen shrimp pilaf since I liked it so much, even if I had a lot of rice on hand. If you make your own pilaf it's a lot more economical.Use 1 stock cube for every 2 rice cooker cups of rice.If you stir fry the rice until it's translucent, the grains will stay separate when cooked.You can use fresh shrimp instead of frozen.I've salted this lightly, so if you want it to be saltier add 1 teaspoon of salt.

This is like the rice that comes with my favorite curry. All you have to do is mix the ingredients into freshly cooked rice.To make fried onions, thinly slice onions and sauté in 1 tablespoon of olive oil.If using salted butter, you can omit the salt. Recipe by Brandy

This recipe always make me remember of my grandma. I know where ever she is now she would be very proud of me in this moment. Well.. life is short and we have to live it fully. Gather your family around you and tell stories, make jokes and don't forget to remember the ones you loved most and they are not among us anymore. :-)

Quick and tasty

A surprisingly creamy dish, completely dairy free (that is if you omit the cheese)

A really quick and easy side dish to accompany many meat entrées. I also like to add onion or other veg sometimes. Also, vegetable stock can be used in place of chicken stock/soy butter used to make this vegetarian or vegan friendly.

My mom use to make out of this world pilaf rice but her recipe was very elaborate & time consuming. I found a way to reproduce the taste & texture but without all the fuss!! 😆

I wanted to make a fun meal that was very original and that people wouldn't get tired of. It had to be inexpensive and delicious, too. I don't know if a dish like this already exists, but I thought it sounded like a good combination and tried it out. Result: it was very tasty, so I turned it into a recipe.I wasn't sure whether I should stir fry the flour with the chicken, but mixing it with milk worked fine. In Step 6, simmer the sauce for 1-2 minutes after it's bubbling. If you use cream instead of milk, the sauce will be quite rich. You could blend milk and cream, too. For 4 servings.

Wild rice grows in the cold waters of the Great Lakes Area, and the cold mountain lakes of California. It is harvested in August/September before the first frost. In this pilaf, The roasted flavor of the native wild rice is absorbed by the basmati rice, so you double your flavor. Wild rice pilaf makes any meal look and taste special. We buy 5 pounds of wild rice a year from the local Wild Rice Cooperative here.

Another classic pilaf, full of great flavour! Serve in a big dish put in the middle of the table and let everyone help themselves

Hi there, I enjoy making Pilaf dishes as much as I love making Pasta dishes. This specific Pilaf recipe has mushrooms which I just adore, (but my poor hubby doesn’t really enjoy eating mushrooms) and of course chickpeas. So, for him I make it plain, and from there he loves adding yogurt. Me not so much 😦Anyway, I found this recipe a few years ago, and to be honest I am not sure of it’s origin, but one thing I am sure of it’s not Greek. I look at some of my fellow bloggers Rice recipes ufff, I don’t know which one I want to jump in and eat first!!! they look so amazing with so many different variations. Just wonderful!!! 🙂Back to this recipe, it basically calls for Basmati rice, but I use any rice I have in the food pantry, and today the only kind I had was normal short grain rice, this Pilaf is quick to make, and so good to eat. 🙂

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..???

Good for 2 chicken thighs

I had 1 piece of roast chicken left over, so I made it into a pilaf the next day.Even its bones gave out a savory flavor. You can really taste the flavor of chicken with each bite.You can use any vegetables that you'd like.I also recommend adding green peas or mushrooms. Recipe by sachie mama

It's one of those dishes that goes with everything.And Rice Pilaf, a traditional dish originating from India, is no exception. Of course, many different nationalities have done their own spin offs on Rice Pilaf. The most famous of which, is Armenian.This recipe, is based off of my Mom's (Mary David's) Syrian Rice Pilaf that she used to make for my brother and I as children.I substituted Mom's original teaspoon of salt, for a teaspoon of Paul Prudhomme's Meat Magic, a simply wonderful all-purpose Creole spice that goes good with everything... And in this case, especially rice. Hence, the Creole addition in the name.Sheik"It's Munchie Time!"Copyright 2019 Curtis A. David / Sheik's The Crucible

I'm trying to eat a rainbow of veg to be healthier and this dish is perfect for me! If you can handle more spice, feel free to add more harissa paste!

My presentation isn't wonderful but my family loved it!

I have tried so many recipes; from the slow cooker to the regular stovetop. None of them were any good. Either the sauce was too watery, too thick, there was no flavor, etc.As is my MO in life, I decided to do my usual routine and pick & choose from different recipes. My wife and I finally came up with this recipe. We love it and wanted to share it. Hopefully, you will too!Enjoy!

I used to make this on the stovetop all of the time. I liked it, but it was too, too sweet at times.Taking a chance, I took my recipe for slow cooker General Tso's chicken, switched out the hoisin sauce and used orange marmalade instead.It is perfect. The curry powder offsets the sweetness and makes a nice balance. I also use aminos acid, instead of soy sauce. It is so much better. Nicer flavor.You can coat the crock pot with oil, but you really should use a liner. It gets very sticky.Enjoy!

I love slow cooker meals! Especially on chilly days like today!! Yummy!! :)

I wanted to prepare a stew in my slow cooker, as it was cold and I was really in the mood for something wholesome and warm. I found a stew recipe on a sachet of spicy chicken thick soup stew powder, and adapted it for my slow cooker. I hope you enjoy :)

For me, jerk chicken was a delicious treat that I only had at a restaurant. I never thought that I would make it for myself or if it would be any good. For our honeymoon, my wife and I went to Jamaica. Dang, the jerk chicken was amazing there, along with all of the other food we had down there. I did not want to leave.While walking along the beach there one day, we ran into the chef of the amazing jerk chicken that we had. He was such a nice guy. Taking the chance, I asked for the recipe. All he did was smile. That night at dinner, he came out to our table, handed us a piece of paper, and then returned to the kitchen.Somehow, we scored the recipe. I tried it once, before we got the slow cooker. It was good, but not as good as his. We did not have any scotch bonnet peppers, so we did not have that great taste. I used to make my own jerk spice blend, from the recipe that he gave us. It is amazing on pizza. Try it one day. For this recipe, I included the blend that he gave us.This go around, I cheated and used a store bought jerk spice blend. I do not have the time right now to make it on my own. But once I do, I will. You betchum! I went online to see how I could convert this recipe to a slow cooker. It was not that hard.This will go great with anything, especially coconut rice and peas.Enjoy!

I normally make teriyaki chicken in the oven because I love how the sauce thickens and caramelizes, but it has been far too hot to use the oven this week so this is my version of slow cooker teriyaki chicken based on a variant of my oven recipe.

I love Thai food. My friend from Thailand, would either make some for me or take me to his cousin's restaurant. I used to make this recipe all of time on the stove, but once we got our slow cooker, I decided to try it in there. For this, I added spinach and carrots. I would have eaten this with just the carrots. Something amazing happened to them.Serve with rice or noodles.Enjoy!

It was good!! Simple 3 ingredients, my kind of recipes!! I cooked it for 3 hours but I think that was too long...was kinda dry. Won't cook it as long next time! :)
