An icon of Spain’s cultural identity, paella done right is a truly spectacular dish: a thin blanket of saffron-scented rice with a crackly, crunchy bottom crust, studded with fresh seafood.
Lime Cilantro Rice
Easy and delicious! Great with salmon, chicken, or turkey tacos.
Risotto alla Milanese – Classic Risotto
This is the recipe from the wonderful risotto cooking class Melissa, my mom and I took at the Williams-Sonoma Kitchen in San Francisco. You need to stay near the stove, but the flavor is totally worth it!
Mexican Tomato Rice & Beans
When cooked using the absorption method, medium-grain rice yields a tender, starchy, slightly creamy kernel that’s ideal for saucy rice dishes like this one.
Stuffed Grape Leaves
There is a great Mediterranean place in NYC that Laurie and I always go to that has delicious stuffed grape leaves with raisins! Finally I can make them myself.
Coconut-Cashew Basmati Rice
A nice “dress” up for regular Basmati Rice and is delicious with seafood (especially seared scallops)
Coconut Rice Pudding
This recipe is a perfect implementation of this classic Caribbean dessert.
