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!

Dolmades. I have a killer recipe (vegan with brown rice), but I'm pretty
busy over the next few days. You'll find tons of recipes online, though.

She'll never find the grape leaves and probably wouldn't like them
anyway as they are somewhat bitter, like her temperment. lol
However stuffed cabbage is just as good and easy to prepare. Cabbage
is on sale all over right now. Prepare a big potful, stuffed cabbage
freezes well. After rolling all the large leaves I rough chop the
rest of the cabbage(s) and cook it all together in a large pot so I'll
have the stuffed rolls and cabbage soup. Add squished canned
tomatoes, sliced carrots for color, and a handful of raisins and the
juice of a lemon for sweet and sour. Only seasoning needed is s n'p
and maybe a couple three bay leaves... D-lish.

Raisins? I might make stuffed cabbage but not with raisins. Thanks though.

I'd use it for the same things as white rice. Of course you have to
cook it first. You're one of the few people I know who seems to want to
use uncooked rice in things. You already know brown rice takes longer
to cook. If you're going to use it raw the dish (whatever it is) will
need to have a LOT of liquid and a very long cooking time.

Then what do you do with your white rice?

When I cook rice (it's more often brown than white) I usually make
pilaf, cooking it in broth or stock and adding sauteed vegetables. It
can be a side dish for any number of things. The operative word here is
*cook*.

I don't think she has any objection to cooking brown rice. She just
doesn't want to precook it for dishes like stuffed peppers. Heaven
only knows why she seems resistant to that.

She certainly doesn't sound like she wants to cook the rice, for
whatever reason.

For all her posts about rice, brown, white, whatever, it appears she
really has no idea what to do with it. Except for "mexican rice" and
stuff like that. Lots of beans involved. Sorry but I don't live off
rice and beans.

I've already told her as did you and others about rice pilaf. It's
futile but fun!

Are you implying that I don't cook?

Thing is, most everybody falls for it. I did too a while back.

But sometimes it can be interesting to read, and I've actually learned a
few things from replies that *did* work for me. So, it's not a total
loss, especially with the added bonus of humor stuff. I sure wouldn't
care to be her gardener though

Pilaf would be a good side dish next to steaks. Of course she'd have to
cook it. I wonder what the aversion is to cooking rice?

Of course she wouldn't use that. Raw brown rice will take forever to
cook in, for example, the stuffed peppers she mentioned. Great way to
ruin the peppers.

Already stated, she won't use such things.

I wouldn't touch that! I only asked about a few things that for uncooked
rice. One was a chicken dish and the other was porcupine meatballs.

Why don't you cook up a very big pot full of brown rice, then portion it out in containers and freeze it. That way you will have ready cooked brown rice to use in a lot of different recipes. All you have to do is thaw out a container of it and make your dish.

You really should use up (or throw out) some of the stuff in your
freezer so you have room for things that you need.

I don't eat cheap bread and I certainly wouldn't freeze bread! I do have
some frozen dough that I should use up though.

The freezer stuff gets eaten all the time. I just don't need to be putting
cooked rice in there. I do have a little bit for the dog in case I make
something he can't eat.

She allegedly uses up stuff to make room in the freezer all the time. I
may be mistaken, but I don't think she has a stand-alone freezer unit.
If not, it sure sounds like she could benefit from having one. It
wouldn't have to be a particularly large freezer. Mine isn't.

It should be easy to use up the stuff in the freezer since everything is
pre-cooked. She has said that when she cooks all her meat right away and
then stores in the freezer.

My chest freezer broke some years ago. It couldn't take the temp. extremes
of the garage. I do have a very small freezer on my little fridge but it
doesn't keep a constant temp. so only blue ice goes in there. The fridge
doesn't keep a constant temp. either so only things like beverages that
don't require refrigeration go in there.

Kitchen fridge is a side by side. Very narrow. Won't hold a frozen pizza
unless it's a very small one. Mostly what I have in there now are the
crustless quiches, breakfast burritos and other heat and eat breakfast
foods. This is so my gardener can help himself as he needs to. I also have
three loaves of bread dough, some biscuits and frozen treats. A little bit
of meat.

I do have a very small upright freezer I always try to keep a few things
like Oncor or Banquet frozen meats, fish sticks, meatballs and some veggies
for stir fry. That freeze will hold perhaps 6 boxes of such proteins and
perhaps 6-8 packages of vegetables. I currently have a case of breakfast
burritos out there that I know the gardener really wants but he does not
know they are there. Not even sure he knows that I have the freezer. I told
him I would get more after some of the other food gets eaten. He just heated
a meal of chicken, beans and potatoes.

Part of the problem is that is that I had bought a lot of food for Angela
but she moved out and didn't take it. I had hoped that the gardener might
eat some of it as it is stuff that I won't eat. It is Mexican stuff but
mostly chicken. It would seem that both he and I prefer beef to chicken.
Anyway... I got her to take some of the stuff with her the other day.

We are to the point now where we are just all going to have to suck it up
and eat stuff that we don't necessarily like or like very much. Reason
being, I had so many people in and out of here, staying here for various
reasons and I had purchased things specifically for them. Two of those
people have since developed medical problems that I won't get into here but
that now prevent them from being able to eat the foods that they love. And
while they loved those foods, we do not. But... We will either eat them or
in some cases, I was able to give some things to friends.

Things will get easier as summer rolls around. I will be planting a garden
this year and we'll eat plenty of salads and other cold foods.

Right and it makes no sense to freeze plain rice. Don't most rice recipes
have you add stuff to the rice as you cook it?

Suggestions:

• Spagrice (Spaghetti is replaced with rice and use your favorite
Italian sauce.)
• Rice Pudding

This is a quick, easy dish made mostly from staples so I always have the
ingredients on hand:

I have made and enjoyed brown rice and cucumber salad. There are a
number of variations so if that is of interest, I recommend searching
on that base and seeing what comes up.

Thanks! I tried a rice salad once but it had capers in it and those gave it
a very bad taste.

Try making a rice salad without capers, then. Should be good.

Yea, next time just skip the nasty capers and use anchovies instead.

I have no suggestions since I don't eat brown rice. A lot of people around here do eat the stuff. I never thought I'd see the day when Asians would eat brown rice but it has come to pass. Then again, I never thought I'd see the day when cats and chickens would congregate. This world is full of surprises.

Most of the Asian and Thai places offer it here but generally either plain
or fried.
