Anyone got any rice recipes?

I'm looking for new ideas to cook rice.

So far all I can do with it is, boil, stir fry, veg rice, risotto or chinese style fried. If anyone has any creative ideas I'd appreciate it if they could post them.

Thanks in advance!

Oh btw, pasta recipes would be good too! Fed up with our staple diet of potatoes and looking for new ideas for tea.

Suppli` (also called Arancini di Riso meaning: little rice oranges)

You need leftover risotto (originally already dressed with sauce or butter and parmesan and spices), mozzarella cheese, breadcrumbs, egg and frying oil.

Mix the leftover risotto with an egg and then form into balls a bit bigger than golf-size and a bit smaller than tennis-size (yeh? hehe). With a clean finger make a hole in the centre and fill with cubed mozzarella, then close the hole with more rice mix. Roll in fine breadcrumbs and deep fry.

Enjoy!

no recipes at the moment due to half a bottle of quality white and an enforced chill out session...
but...
risotto
jambalaya
biryani
rice pudding
congee - (rice soup)
sushi
put it in soup and casseroles to thicken it
cooked chilled then fried to put into sizzling soup
stuff vegetables with it
feed the pigeons
use it as a topping instead of potato or pastry, add some cheese so it doesnt dry out
HTH;)
as a student i often ate rice cooked with red lentils as a main meal. Once a moneysaver, always a moneysaver...

Hi lots of rice and pasta recipes on http://www.campbellsoup.co.uk/ ! I use the condensed soups a lot, they are cheap and an excellent way of making meals economically, very tasty too!

You can use cooked rice (mixed with other chopped veg eg tomatoes, mushrooms, or peas sweetcorn etc) as a filling for peppers, tomatoes or stuffed marrow, bake in the oven (top with cheese if you want as well). This is good for any bits of left-over rice and veg.

You can also use cooked rice, lentils, breadcrumbs, chopped nuts to make a nut loaf (use an egg as well to help "bind" it).

If you're getting bored, try different types of rice for a change.

Or even better, couscous. It's especially good when you want something quick - disregard the instructions and put it in a bowl and pour boiling water over it and leave it for 5 minutes then add whatever you fancy. My current favourite post-work food fix is to fry up an onion and add a tin of tomatoes, some chick peas, whatever vegies are in the fridge and looking a bit worse for wear and loads of herbs or spices - then mix with the couscous. 5 minutes to healthy winter comfort food!

what about egg fried rice?

Have you tried gnocchi? it's like a mix between potatoes and pasta, it's classed alongside pasta (i think) but you can make it from potatoes. If you want the recipe let me know and I'll try and dig it out.

I have nearly half a pan of cooked long grain rice left over from our Sweet and sour chicken tonight.
Any ideas of what to do with it??
