• Jan. 28, 2006 - Yellow Rice without MSG and Black Beans

Someone was asking for a Yellow Rice recipe without MSG.  Since I cant remember who you are and we cant search by topic (this is a hint to the webmaster if they happen to read this.)  I am posting it here.  I was thumbing through my "Bread for Life Vol 2" by Beth Holland and saw it. Yellow Rice 2 TBSP. extra virgin olive 6 scallions 3 cloves garlic, minced 1/8 tsp,. crushed saffron threads 1 1/2 c. brown rice 1 3/4 c. water or chicken broth Cook scallions and garlic over medium heat 'til softened Add saffron and cook 1 minute more.  Stir in rice to coat with oil.  Add water or broth and bring to a boil.  Stir, reduce to low, cover and cook 10-20 minutes.  Let stand covered for 10 minutes or more. Black Beans 2 c. black beans 2-4 Onions 4-6 Garlic cloves, minced Yellow Salt Pepper Soak beans overnight.  Pour off water and cover beans with 2 inches of water.  Add onion, garlic, salt and pepper and cook until beans are done but still firm.  While cooking, either make yellow rice from scratch or (in a pinch) use pre-made yellow rice from the grocery store.  (it's really white rice - a refined product). When rice and beans are done, drain beans and serve over rice.  Top with: Salsa, Sour Cream and/or Grated Cheddar Cheese.  Serve ith a tossed salad, this is one dish meal, Even kids like this one! by Vanda Guthrie.
