Herby Cheese and Rice Bowl

From: Linda McCartney’s “Home Cooking”, p. 101.

Boiled rice with mozzarella cheese and herbs.

Nice rice dish to go with a salad; season with salt and pepper to taste (does not state this in the recipe).
I did not use any parmesan to sprinkle over the top of the dish as it would dominate over the delicate mozzarella cheese flavour.

Green Chilli and Rice

From Linda McCartney’s Home Cooking, p. 101.

A creamy, oven-baked rice with cheese, sour cream and chillies.

This rice seems to be a savoury version of creamed rice- very rich and filling and delicious. Serve with a green salad for an easy winter dinner.

Rice and Beans

From: Linda McCartney’s Home Cooking, p. 118.

A nice tomato rice with onion, celery and navy beans.

The recipe does not give any suggestions on how and with what to serve this rice. I think that it is a little plain on its own and would recommend serving it with a big salad or even a quiche.

Wild Rice and Peas

From: Linda McCartney’s Home Cooking, p. 133

A mixture of wild and white rice, cooked in vegetable stock, with petits pois.

A quick and easy rice dish with ingredients usually at hand. It is full of flavours but subtle enough to be eaten with a main course.
I used frozen peas and added them when the rice had finished cooking and just warmed them through.

Mushroom and Rice

From: Linda McCartney’s Home Cooking, p. 112

This is a more basic variation of the “Rice in Tasty Vegetable Stock” on p. 118. It is great served with a main course and is a more interesting side dish than just rice- the mushrooms add a lovely umami flavour.

Stuffed Peppers

From: Linda McCartney’s Home Cooking p. 126

This is a recipe for peppers, stuffed with rice, TVP mince and tomato sauce, and baked in the oven.

A few days ago, when discussing what to eat on the weekend, my husband mentioned that he would love to have some Stuffed Peppers- a dish he knows from meals at his grandfather’s. As with many dishes we both know from our families, there was of course a recipe for Stuffed Peppers in Linda’s cookbook. And one more reason to prepare Stuffed Peppers.
My husband prepared the peppers and they were just delicious. Definitely a recipe we will ask him to use again 🙂 .

Rice Pudding

From: Linda McCartney´s Home Cooking, p. 165

Baking the rice pudding in the oven makes it possible to enjoy rice pudding withhout having to stir it for 30 minutes, as you would have to do when cooking it in a saucepan. It also gets a lovely golden crust. Yummy!

The rice pudding can be served warm with seasonal fruit compote, such as apple or plum. You can also try it chilled with some sweetened red berry or cherry compote.

I have reduced the amount of sugar and butter to 20g each, and would recommend mixing the milk and cinnamon before pouring it over the rice (to avoid the cinnamon forming lumps or a hard crust on the milk).

Vegan: This rice pudding is great cooked with coconut drink instead of milk. You can use the cinnamon if you like, or leave it out and sprinkle 3 tablespoons desiccated coconut over the top.
