Eating the Enemy : Stanfurd

Yellow Fever is on vacation this week, so the task of "Eating the Enemy" has fallen to me.  And by me, I mean AndBears, who did pretty much all of the work in putting this post together.

BAKED RICE PILAF WITH PINE NUTS

2 tbsp. butter
1 med. sized onion
1 (10 1/2 oz.) size can chicken broth
3/4 c. water
1 c. long grain rice
1/2 c. toasted pine nuts.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In saucepan melt butter. Cook onion until tender. Add undiluted broth and water; heat to boiling. Stir in rice. Pour mixture into casserole. Cover and bake 30-40 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Mix in half pine nuts and stir. Sprinkle additional half on top and serve.

So there you go.  Tree bits for your meal, and lots of "nut-related" humor besides.  For you vegetarians out there (hi Rishi!), you can replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth.  I'm informed that many vegetarians don't have a problem with chicken broth, but there's a fair amount of debate amongst vegetarians/vegans on this issue.  The best answer I've heard:

You can eat broth. Most cultures would still consider you vegetarian. Don't be giving your power away to a bunch of crazy people. Make you own decisions.

can I get definition of pilaf?

is it a creamier long rice version of regular rice? Oh, and I hope The Maharg doesn’t read this since I set him up to make me look like an idiot.

from wikipedia:

Pilaf, also called polao, pilau or pulao, is a dish in which a grain, such as rice or cracked wheat, is browned in oil, and then cooked in a seasoned broth.

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

and for those carnivores

carp’s burgers

ground beef/turkey (c’mon…beef’s way better)
copious amounts of worchestershire sauce
2 tbsp diced cilantro
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp of teriyaki sauce
smidge of horseradish sauce
1/4 lb Swiss cheese
1 hamburger bun
2 tbsp mendocino mustard (accept no substitute)
2 slices of red onion
2 slices of bacon (omit if on a diet)
1 leaf of lettuce
2 slices tomato
3 slices of pickle

In a large mixing bowl, combine meat cilantro, garlic, worchestershire sauce, teriyaki sauce, and horseradish sauce (lots of sauces!). Mix and whip until heart is content. Form into patty…grill 3-5 min/side FLIPPING ONLY ONCE. Melt swish cheese. Construct burger. Enjoy with garden salad or Gordon Biersh garlic fries from Safeway (freezer section).

This works better with ground beef since ground turkey is (a) not as good and (b) crumbly.

Wow. This is a great recipe. I love rice pilaf. Though I must confess, I’ve Never had it baked… The pine nuts are a particularly fitting touch. Should be great! Thanks guys…
