Shallot Caraway Rice
"This side dish goes with so many things! I make mine along with almost any chicken dish I serve. I also make it to go along with any Asian inspired meal. This has a very nutty taste and is so delicious. If you are a vegetarian, add tofu for a complete meal! Also, if I have it on hand, I will use the "garlic seasoned" chicken broth as it adds just that much more flavor! *Note, this only serves 2-3 people, double rice for a family of 4 or more."

I eat a lot of rice, so it's really nice to find a new way to make it a lot more interesting. I didn't change a thing! (The rice I used was jasmine.) -
Great way to spruce up a side of rice! The only thing I did differently was to add an additional clove of garlic, & those I used were large! Served this up with chicken breasts for a great meal! Caraway seeds gave it all a nice flavor! Thanks for sharing! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Every Day Is a Holiday! cooking game]
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I started cooking just by helping my Mom out in the kitchen as a little girl. I preferred baking over cooking, as I loved getting all into measuring things and stirring. I always got to stir!
However in the past 5 years I've been the one responsible for making nightly dinners. At first this consisted of the same 10 or so dishes in a constant rotation, but that quickly became boring and I remembered how much my Mom would complain when I was younger about how she always made the same things and she never knew what new dishes to try! Obviously 20 years ago, Zaar wasn't around!
I still cook a lot of the same type of dishes my Mom cooked when we were younger and I try to incorporate as much fresh fruit, vegetables, and herbs into my meals as possible. However Melvin's favorite food of all time is fried chicken so... I make sure he gets a fresh vegetable on the side!
My favorite cook book is my staple cookbook which is the old red and white Better Homes Cook Book. My only pet peeve about cooking is bland food!
