You know it's not always about the main course. Sometimes a side dish
can really pull things together.... like this very earthy rice favorite.
Yes.... this has whole grain rice, a complex carb,
so be sure to serve a sensible portion as a side :-)
A healthier option for this dish is to use barley... leftover, pearl or quick-cook.
Same great flavor pallet with a GI of 35. Enjoy!
I will leave the measurements/quantities up to you.
Have fun with it and make it your own. :-)
Ingredients:· Whole Grain Wild Rice - pick your favorite
· Olive Oil
· Baby Portobello Mushrooms - chopped
· Fresh Italian Parsley - whole leaves, no stems
· Garlic Powder
· Locatelli Romano Grated Cheese
· Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Preparation:
Cook rice according to directions... You can use leftovers here, too. In a non-stick pan, fry the rice and mushrooms in a bit of olive oil... Just enough for frying... don't drown the rice. Add garlic powder and parsley and toss over low flame. Fold in grated cheese until melted. Serve with fresh ground black pepper.
Blessed be... and happy cooking!
