Rice Recipes

Rice Pilaf

2 Tbsp. margarine
1/3 c. finely chopped celery
1/4 c. green onions, including tops finely chopped
1 c. uncooked rice
3 tsp. chicken bullion dissolved in 3 c. hot water

Melt margarine in skillet. Add onions, celery, and rice. Stir until rice is slightly browned. Pour in water with dissolved bullion. Cover tightly and cook over low heat for about 25 minutes until moisture is absorbed and rice is tender.

Spanish Rice

Heat up about 2 Tbsp. of cooking oil in skillet. Add about 1 c. of long grain rice. Brown the rice, stirring it until it is slightly brown. Add diced onion and saute. Add cold water, enough to cover the rice (about 3 cups). Add 2-3 Tbsp. Knorr's tomato bullion, and add a clove of garlic. Cover tightly. Turn down heat as soon as it starts to boil. Do not stir the rice. Cook for about 25 minutes or until the water is absorbed by the rice. (Note: If you do not have tomato bullion, you can use chicken bullion and add a little tomato sauce instead.)

Ray Family Tortillas

Here is my favorite recipe using long term food storage items. I usually cook a crock pot of beans for about 6-7 hours. I only add a little bit of salt to my beans.

Ray Family Tortilla Recipe

Ingredients:

3 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
¼ c. oil
1-1 ½ c. hot water

Directions:

Mix dry ingredients. Add oil and hot water until dough feels soft and pliable. Wrap in plastic wrap and let dough rest for 10-20 minutes. Make into 12 balls. Roll out and cook on medium-high griddle (about 10 seconds for the first side, 5 seconds for the second). Serve with beans.

Alternate:

For fry bread, use 3 ½ c. flour and add 2 tbsp. sugar. Roll out and slice, or form small circles the thickness of sugar cookies. Fry in medium high oil and cool on rack or paper towels.
