Tonights Side Dish

[Guest guest]

This was tonights side dish. It came out pretty good. I omitted the

carrots because I didn't have any in the house but I substituted some

celery. I used the spices they asked for but when I cooked the rice

(recipe uses cooked rice) I used a spice mix called " China Grill " which

has some of the same spices in it. It did not make this too spicy or too

strong in flavor.

 

" Grilled " Fish with Kabul Party Rice

 

I am not giving the recipe for the fish because it was just basic

fish that was put on the GF Grill for 3 minutes. I am giving the

recipe for the Kabul Party Rice which was really good, not too

hot and very pretty. It came from Hot & Spicy & Meatless by Dave

DeWitt. Excellent book. Easy to do. Great use for already cooked

rice!

NOTES : * I used olive oil since I never use margarine.

 

** I used basmati rice since that is the rice I always have in the

house. I don't use converted rice.
