Pancetta and Green Onion Fried Rice
This rice recipe complements the chicken adobo from yesterday really well…
- 2 cups jasmine rice, cooked al dente, cooled and kept aside
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- ½ cup pancetta, chopped
- 6 to 8 garlic cloves, grated
- 4 green onions, chopped
- Salt
- ½ cup cilantro, chopped
Heat a wok like pan with the oil. Add the pancetta and sauté on medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and green onions. Saute on medium heat for 30 seconds. Add the cooked rice and sauté on medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes. Add salt and cilantro. Check for seasonings and serve with the adobo chicken.
Broccolini Rice
I made this side dish with the fish I posted yesterday. I usually make brown rice for my family to keep things healthy. I have tried to make the rice as delicious as possible. I cook it with chicken broth and a tad bit of butter- it makes a big difference.
In this case, I didn’t have a lot of time of cook dinner- a problem most people have. So, I checked my freezer where I always keep packs of frozen brown rice from Trader Joes. It is great to have and use in a pinch. I decided to mimic the same flavors I used in the fish. I started with a shallot and some garlic. I added roasted cumin seeds and smoked paprika. I then added the broccolini and the rice and checked for seasonings. Lemon juice finished off the dish really well. It is great side dish to make with fish or any other meat..
