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.

Although the recipe has quite a few ingredients, the end result is definitely worth it! Add the optional ingredients for a pilaf with a bolder flavor.

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

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

If you have a rice cooker, try this dish. It's a very easy to make flavored rice. I normally eat the pilaf with rotisserie chicken or Fish Meuniere. This time, I am using semi brown rice but you can use regular long rice as well.

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. :-)

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..???

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

Chicken Pulao is a popular Pakistani dish made with chicken, aromatic spices, and fragrant Basmati rice. Pulao is known for its rich, aromatic flavours and tender chicken cooked in a flavorful broth called "yakhni," which is then mixed with Basmati rice. It can be a one-pot meal also. I prefer making it in two steps. Yes, it does take around twenty-five minutes more. However, given how much flavour the broth infuses into every bite, that is a minor price to pay.This recipe goes perfect with some raita, Iserved it with simple cumin raita. You can enjoy with any raita of choice. You will need a handful of ingredients to make this pulao and it comes together in less than an hour.

Here is cookpad member’s Sarvat traditional pulao recipe. I had already used up the shanks from my butchered lamb , so I tried her traditional Afghan dish with other meat, smoked ham shanks. My apologies to Afghan tradition. I used salt free beef broth to compensate for the smoked shank salt and taste. The result is delicious, a meaty, rich dish, spicy and sweet and fresh at the same time, with flavorful rice and spicy meat.
