My Meatless Mondays - May 8, 2011 Mothers' Day -- Indian Rice

Happy Mothers' Day to all the Moms in Foodyville.

It feels good to be back in normal pace in my life.  I have to share this most delicious Indian Rice.  I had made a super-delicious rice side for the Sabbath.  We had enough left over for another meal but I wanted to make it a little different.  I checked out Taste of Home, believing they would have a simple recipe that I could transform, my cooked dish, into.  I found this Indian Rice.  I am  not sure how the rice could have gotten better, but it did. 

Indian Rice 

I followed the recipe, using my cooked rice.  I used shawarma seasoning, in place of, the curry powder.  I adapted the recipe slightly,  using half oil and half margarine instead of butter.

4 Servings

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon margarine
• 1 tablespoon Canola oil
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced onion
• 3 tablespoons slivered almonds
• 1/2 teaspoon shawarma seasoning
• 1/4 cup golden raisins
• 2 cups hot cooked long grain rice

Method:

• In a saucepan, heat margarine and oil.
• Add onion, almonds shawarma seasoning.
• Cook until golden brown. 
• Stir in raisins; heat until the raisins plump, about 5 minutes. 
• Remove from the heat and stir in rice.

Serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings.

I thought, I would select Mothers' Day recipes, from last week, to feature to help me make choices and then got stuck, as usual.  I decided to feature the muffins, all which would be appropriate for Mothers' Day and all which  are terrific.


Lani made strawberry muffins at Food: Cooking and Capturing.  Don't these look yummy?

Next we have a healthy and delicious muffin from Eating in Winnipeg.  How does Raisin Bran Flax seed Muffins sound to you? 

 

For a completely different type of muffin, we have Spicy Corn Muffins from Martha of Seaside Simplicity.  Martha is one of those multi-talented people who does everything well, including making corn muffins.

 

Muffins anyone?  I searched and could not find any other muffins but I keep thinking there was one other.  Please, if I missed anyone, let me know.
