I am one of the rare people who really does not care for rice in any form UNLESS its rice pudding lol. My sister has an awesome wild rice recipe (according to all the people who eat it and rave about it) I will try to get it from her.

I love Jasmine rice. I don't use a rice cooker, I steam it.

Wisconsin grows a LOT of wild rice. It's cheaper here so I used to ship it to a friend out east whose wife loved it.

I don't do anything complicated with mine. Except instead of using water, I'll use chicken broth instead. A couple of drops of sesame seed oil is good too.


But I rarely eat rice straight as a side dish. 95% of the time it's with some type of bean. Those Caribbeans' do some good things to rice & beans, particularly the Dominicans. They cook their beans with a sofrito (a spicy sauce) and then mix it up with the rice (about 2:1 ratio of rice to beans). Very flavorful. Recipes on the sofrito vary wildly. Different countries have different preferences. And families hold on to their recipes as closely guarded secrets sometimes. But the one I like is:


1. Grind a small bunch of cilantro (some use culantro) in the food processor with a bit olive oil. Set aside.

2. Saute a minced, large onion until translucent.

3. Smash up a head of garlic and add to the onion. Cook for 1 minute.

4. Add 2 tbsp ground coriander

2 tbsp oregano

1 tsp thyme

Cook for another minute.

5. Add the processed cilantro.

Add 2.5 cups of vege broth.

Add 12oz can of tomato *paste* (not tomato sauce).

Bring to a boil. You're wanting the consistency of spaghetti sauce. If too thick, add more broth. Simmer for about 1 hour.

6. Remove from the stove and let cool. Freeze the sofrito in ice trays.


When you cook up a batch of beans & rice, add several of the sofrito cubes to the beans when you cook them.

Indian rice sucks. American long grain rice with some salt always does the trick!
