I call this perfect rice, because it’s soft and tender in all the ways you wish rice would always be! This is a good base recipe for all white and brown rice (just read the packaging of brown rice for cooking time).
This dish is SO refreshing! Feel free to use whole wheat orzo or any other pasta instead! Feel free to add in fresh mint, a half a chili pepper and dates for an even more interesting flavor!
You can make this salad without lentils to save time, but they add depth and flavor! I love the colors of this salad. You can also add chicken to it!
This is a great way to use mangoes when they are in their prime! Try and not be intimidated by the spicy pepper- it adds such flavor and once you get used to it you will find yourself craving it!
This is such a fun alternative to cholent! Especially in the summer when lighter flavors are welcome (as opposed to winter comfort food) this fresh lime flavor will wake your taste buds right up and may even encourage you to take a walk after lunch instead of a long nap! No one likes a leftover cholent, but I am sure there will be requests for this stew’s leftovers.
