Dill / Lima Bean Rice
=======================

Somebody asked about cooking basmatti rice so it isn’t sticky. I use a method
that results in perfect rice every time. I cook it in a non-stick pot on the
stove, not in a rice cooker:

First, be sure to rinse the rice with cold water until most of the starch is
removed and the water pours off pretty clear. Then, add enough water to cover
the rice and boil for about 7 minutes. Test the rice by biting into a few
grains…it should be firm, but not crunchy. Be sure not to over-cook the rice
at this stage (it’s better to have it a little under-cooked).

Drain in a colander and rinse the rice with about 2-3 cups fresh water.

Put the rice back in the pot and steam with the lid on for 30-40 mins. over
low heat. The rice will develop a nice crunchy bottom that’s delicious (eat
this first so it doesn’t get soggy!)

After you drain the rice in the colander, add 1 bunch chopped dill and 1 box
frozen baby lima beans. Mix it all together and return to the pot to steam
as described above. (Again, this is for about 6 cups cooked rice.)

1 cup Sour Cream (I use fat free)
1 Cup Parmesan Cheese grated
2 cans WATER PACKED artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Mix all ingredients, sprinkle with paprika and bake at 350 for
30 minutes (until bubbly).

I serve this w/ fresh veggies and melba toast.

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1/4 pound root ginger
10 bottles cold water

Bruise the ginger but not too much as it makes the drink cloudy. Pour on
the water; add the rind and juice of a fresh green lemon. Cover and leave
over night. The next day, strain, sweeten and bottle adding a few grains of
barley to each bottle. It takes a few days, at least, for the barley to
