SEASONED JASMINE RICE

Hi there. One of my favorite rice is this delicious seasoned rice! This yummy rice is best with any meat or fish on the side and is so easy to make if you have left over rice sitting in the fridge. You can create a sumptuous meal in minutes too if you have  cooked meat or fish to go with just rice. I love it with fish or shrimp now  that I do not eat any red meat and chicken. My grandchildren love it!

Here is the recipe:  SEASONED JASMINE RICE

INGREDIENTS:

4 cups cooked Jasmine rice,
1/4 cup canola oil,
1 large onion finely chopped,
2 tbsp. green seasoning ( see recipe from my last blog),
2 blades shallot,
1 tbsp. finely chopped basil,
1 tbsp. finely chopped flat or curly parsley,
1/2 teasp. saffron,
1 - 2 tbsp. toasted pine nuts (optional),
salt to taste.

DIRECTIONS:

Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onions with a pinch of salt ( the salt enhances the onion flavor) and saute until the onions are translucent and soft.

Next , add the green seasoning and allow to cook a little. Then add the cooked rice and stir until all the onions and seasoning coats the rice. (I usually boil the rice with salt, here is where you add your salt if you did not boil the rice with salt).

Finally, add the chopped herbs, saffron and nuts and  mix well. Take the pot off the stove and serve hot with salad and side dishes. Enjoy!

This is my motto:- A PINCH OF SALT AND CUPS OF LOVE!

GOOD LUCK!      PEACE AND LOVE!
