Are you tired of boring old plain white rice? Do you crave a flavorful easy rice that goes with all your dishes?
Problem solved!
Righteous Red Rice Revolution is the answer to all your rice needs!
Righteous Red Rice IS revolutionary!
We’re pretty traditional eaters around here. Because most of our meals involve potatoes, pasta, or rice with veggies and protein. And we have plenty of recipes with various ways to make potatoes and endless variations of pasta dishes. However, our rice recipes were falling behind the other carbs. And I’m not too proud to say that I was content using box mixes of Spanish rice for my red rice necessities for far too long.
So clearly, I was in serious need of a radical rice makeover. Now the search was on for an upgrade to my (skimpy) rice portfolio.
And I was particularly interested in rice that would pair well with our Mexican meals.
Viva la revolution!
Behold! Righteous Red Rice Revolution is the answer to boring old plain rice! Now there’s no more ho-hum rice!
This rice recipe has definitely revolutionized our meals. We make it every time we make enchiladas or tacos or quesadillas. And no more boxes of rice mixes for us. This is quick, easy, and foolproof.
And red rice is more than just a side!
What?!
Yes, not only is this a ridiculously easy and perfect side dish BUT it also works fantastically well as a filling for stuffed peppers! Just make, add a little sauteed mushrooms, stuff into parboiled peppers, and pour tomato sauce over all, cover, bake and eat!
BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!
Also, try mixing in a package of Gardein Beefless Ground. Actually, any faux ground meat ingredient (like rehydrated TVP) can be added to create a hearty meal.
Then take that hearty meal you just created and wrap it up in parboiled cabbage leaves, pour on the tomato sauce, and bake for another alternative!
Anybody else?
So I’ve told you my revolutionary rice revelations.
Tag, you’re it!
