Morels with brown rice

1 cup brown rice
6 to 8 morels
2 shallots
butter
sherry
salt
pepper


Directions:
Prepare 1 cup of brown rice and set aside. Clean and slice 6 to 8 morels(or other mushrooms). Chop 2 shallots. Saute the mushrooms in butter, add the shallots and let simmer. Don't let the shallots get too brown. Add 2 soup spoons of sherry and let the liquid reduce. Mix the rice into the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper.


Morels can be dried in the sun to preserve them. You can set them in the sun for a few days and pack them into airtight jars for later use. Or string them together lengthwise with a needle and thread and hang them in the kitchen. For about three weeks, you'll have dried morels just waiting to be cut off the string and used. Soaking them in hot water for a few minutes will replace the moisture the mushrooms have lost. Drying does not affect the morel's flavor.Freezing:Pack your mushrooms loosely in a plastic bag after rinsing and draining them. Eat them within 3 months of freezing them.

Answer 2

You can use brown rice in almost any recipe requiring rice, just remember that brown rice takes longer to cook. Either that or use a recipe that requires the addition of rice that has been pre-cooked. To make it taste more interesting add some vegetable stock. I have put in the source box the vegetarian society website, but have a look at the BBC website too.

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup long-grain brown rice
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
2 tablespoons chopped green onion tops
PREPARATION:
Prepare brown rice in medium saucepan, following package instructions.
About 15 minutes before the rice is done, melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened and begins to yellow, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, pecans, and green onion; sauté over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the onions are golden and the garlic is tender, about 5 minutes.
Remove rice from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.


Spoon brown rice into a bowl; spoon the onions and pecans on top and toss lightly to combine. Garnish with the chopped green onion tops.

Answer 5

Just to make the rice itself tasty try adding into the boiling water before you put the rice in:
1 tsp of Vegetable Boullion (Veg Stock)
1/4 tsp Turmeric
2 Tbsp Dried Onions
1 Tbsp Garlic Granuals
2 Cloves
4 Cardamon Pods
Salt and Ground pepper

Remove the cardamon pods and cloves before serving...Nice!

Answer 6

well since the ONLY point of eating brown rice is health, then u might as well make a darn healthy dish completely. what i did for my oh so health-conscious, gym-trainer ex (sobs..) was brown rice, the taste offset with yet another healthy element, salmon, can't get any healthier protein than that (except for tofu), pan-fried in olive oil, so it's got oil but healthy one, served with spinach and minced garlic (how healthy r they both) seared (not too long, u'll shrink the spinach too much) in again olive oil. bring it on, martha. presentation also plays a role to somewhat offset taste. the spinach should be dished as the bed of the topping salmon. then the rice nicely on the side, par excellence. btw, add any fish rub mixture on the salmon prior to pan-frying, a procedure of which my ex denounced unhealthy due to his avoidance of salt in part of the rub mixture. but heck, it needs taste going on.

writing this is making me so hungry now. but guess, i'm just gonna run to the chinese place.

Answer 7

Try using brown basmati rice, it's much nicer than the long grain stuff!

Answer 8

Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. Therefore as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.
