@Peach1948 The black rice has a slight nutty flavor. We really like it. I cook it in a tiny Dash rice cooker using the proportion specified for long grain brown rice (1 cup rice to 1.5 cups water) and it is always perfectly done with nicely separated grains and not gummy.

I would agree with @o0Firekeeper0o in that it is closer to wild rice than brown or white rice. I use Hinode brand.

@PAPYRUS3 The best way I can describe it is a lot like whole wheat pasta, if you’ve ever had that. The texture is more break-apart than regular pasta and has more of a beany, grain-y flavor. It’s not bad at all; I like it, but it’s not my first choice for gf pasta. Rice pasta in my opinion is the closest thing you will get to the ‘real’ stuff while still being gluten free. I just used chickpea pasta because we had a box in the cupboard we needed to use up

Thanks - this texture is something I'd actually really like - I love ww pasta and love that 'grainy' toothsome thing. Something to try one day:)

Evening peeps!

👩🏼‍🍳 My guy was craving pizza. So I used his Nonna’s recipe and made one. I wish I had more basil. 🤔

I slow cooked a leg of lamb today. I then warmed up a portion of the lamb with cumin, coriander, salt, pepper and sautéed onions (rings) to make a taco salad which also included romaine, tomato, avocado, sharp cheddar cheese, salsa & sour cream. Plus a serving of Beanitos black bean tortilla chips.

Lately have been eating toasted grain salads for lunch similar to the recipes at the bottom of this article. This one was toasted quinoa, rucola, shallots, tomato, olives and feta.

Yet another meal that ended up with basically nothing left Kielbasa and cabbage. My husband and I made it once YEARS ago, loved it, and promptly forgot it until very recently.

Buddha bowl and cucumber salad. (Retake on the salad after our cat accidentally knocked the first one off the coffee table 😿)

LazyBlondeChef

Lamb, mashed potatoes with lamb gravy, oven roasted beets, salad of romaine, tomato & PK Caesar dressing. I infused the lamb juices with some with rosemary sprigs prior to making the gravy which gave it a nice flavor.

Linguine with Tomato, Garlic, Spinach & Butterbeans.

Starter of salad with feta, candied nuts, toasted quinoa and vinaigrette. Main was anglo risotto with ham and peas. We have almost finished the Xmas leftovers in the freezer as we used up the last of the gammon from Xmas Eve and there is only a little stock left from the goose carcas from Xmas day. I will need to manage leftovers tomorrow with arancini or risotto stuffed mushroom caps. I can form and freeze arancini to pop into the air fryer on demand so maybe that is the best option.
