Rice With Parsley Recipes

PARSLEY BROWN RICE

Steps:

• To cook brown rice in less than 30 minutes it must be soaked for 2 hours or longer. Cover the rice with water the night before or whenever convenient. Place the water and rice with salt to taste in pot to be used for cooking.
• To cook, place pot over high heat and bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer; cover and cook rice about 20 minutes, until water has evaporated and rice is tender.
• Chop parsley. Season cooked rice with pepper and sprinkle with parsley.

RICE PILAF WITH CARROTS AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Place the rice in a bowl in the sink and rinse several times with water, or soak for 30 minutes, to wash away some of the starch. Drain through a strainer.
• Heat the water or stock to a bare simmer in a saucepan or in a Pyrex measuring cup in the microwave.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wide, heavy skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the carrots, onion or leek, and salt to taste. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 3 minutes, and add the rice. Cook, stirring, until the grains of rice are separate and beginning to crackle. Add the hot water or stock and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes, until all of the liquid has been absorbed.
• Uncover the rice and place a clean towel over the top of the pan (it should not be touching the rice). Replace the lid and allow the rice to sit for 10 minutes, undisturbed. Add the parsley and gently fluff the rice, then pile the pilaf onto a platter or into a wide bowl and serve.
