Caribbean Peas & Rice by John Spottiswood

This popular dish throughout the Caribbean is similar to red beans and rice, but made with a few more spices and with crowder, pidgeon, or black-eyed peas instead of red beans. If you can't find any of these, though, red beans make a fine substitute. This is great comfort food that is a nice mellow contrast to spicy-sweet Caribbean…

GINGER AND GARLIC FRIED RICE by Cecelia Heer

I’ve adapted this recipe from JGV’s Ginger Fried Rice from his book, Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges. It has become one of my favorite ways to serve a take on fried rice, and I’ve enjoyed making it with several varieties of rice—jasmine, red jasmine, bamboo, long grain, short grain, etc. Every time, it always turns out to be a very…

I make this all the time for a quick and easy side dish. Alternately, this can be a main dish by adding 1 lb. of chicken, beef, or pork. my daughter Genesis loves it and enjoys this recipe as her main dish with no meat added. I feel great knowing my children can be satisfied with a meatless meal and still be happy!

Pueblo Rice by Farrell May Podgorsek

We love this rice. It is excellent served hot or cold. It is a slightly modified version of the Pueblo Rice from the Hell's Backbone Grill restaurant in Boulder, Utah, one of the best restaurants we have ever eaten at. You can modify the vegetables seasonally. I have used blanched diced corn, green peppers, and sauteed squash. The key…
