What do you do with brown rice?
I know. You'll probably say that you don't eat it. I also know that you can
usually sub it for things you would put white rice in but for some things,
you'd have to cook it first.
For the most part, I seem to go back and forth between Asian dishes, such as
fried rice or stir fries or Teriyaki with rice on the side. Or
Mexican/Spanish type things. I either make it a main dish with beans and
chicken or ground beef with appropriate seasonings, or as a side dish with
some Mexican seasonings.
I am wanting to branch out with it, such as side dishes. Steak is a real
winner for a meal here so perhaps something that might go with that. I am
thinking that things like Rici e Bisi (or however it's spelled) wouldn't
work well with the brown rice.
I do put it in soup, especially when there is just a little left over, and I
intend to do vegetarian type sides with it such as peppers or zucchini
stuffed with beans and rice and perhaps some cheese.
Any suggestions? I don't have to eat it myself so anything goes, except for
mushrooms or yogurt as those are not well liked here. Thanks!
