I cook rice a couple times a week, sometimes maybe more. Lately, I started adding other ingredients and really making an interesting side dish. Here's a combination that works well and can be successfully served with almost any protein.
My trusty Panasonic rice cooker, 20 years and going strong! |
1 cup basmati rice
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 diced yellow onion
2 crushed garlic cloves
1 fine diced Roma tomato
1 bunch sliced green onions, 6-8 pcs
1 tablespoon chopped Italian Parsley
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
Preparation:
Cook the rice according to instructions, which is 1 cup rice, 2 cups water and some salt. When the rice is cooked, remove the lid and let cool.
Take a 12" sauté pan and heat to medium / medium low. Add the diced yellow onion and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Keep the heat down so you don't burn the garlic. Stir in the tomato, green onions, parsley and walnuts. Add the rice and toss until everything is mixed in and you're done.
To serve, place the rice onto a serving plate or bowl and garnish with a little chopped Italian parsley.
