Sushi Rice Salad: July 27, 2011
Categories: Entree, Picnic Food, Potluck Dish, Rice, Salad, Season: Summer
This time of year when we often take our meals with us -- to the pool, the park, or even to the back porch -- I'm a big fan of those all-in-one-bowl meals. Sushi is perfect for the summer weather,...

Cilantro Rice, Chipotle Style: June 3, 2011
Categories: Rice, Season: Anytime, Side Dish
I have a confession to make. You may think it's nonstop cooking around here, even that we are whipping up wholesome, local, organic, vegetarian, completely-from-scratch meals day after day. We all have to have our aspirations, but the truth is...

Radicchio Risotto: January 19, 2011
Categories: Comfort Food, Entree, Farmers' Market Find, Rice, Season: Winter
I feel like we've had a bit of a respite these past few weeks. We are back at school and work after the holidays, but the children's after school activities haven't picked up yet, and we actually seem to have...

Pressure Cooker Saffron and Artichoke Risotto: March 29, 2010
Categories: Entree, Farmers' Market Find, Party Food, Quick Meal, Rice, Season: Spring, Side Dish

Categories: Bulgur, Entree, Farmers' Market Find, Rice, Season: Autumn, Season: Summer, Zucchini
I first came across this idea for stuffed zucchini in the original Moosewood Cookbook. The original cookbook no longer seems available on Amazon (they now offer a New Moosewood Cookbook, which is an updated version of the original), although I'm...

Edamame Rice Balls: September 21, 2009
Categories: Avocado, Beans, Lunch Box, Party Food, Picnic Food, Rice, Season: Anytime
Sometimes a recipe comes together on the first try, and sometimes it seems that it never will. This recipe fell into the latter category. I had been wanting to come up with a simpler variation of sushi to put in...

Suppli: February 5, 2009
Categories: Appetizer, Easy to Freeze, Party Food, Rice, Season: Anytime
As promised, here is a recipe for leftover risotto (for a risotto recipe, see here). This little ball of wonder is one of our favorite treats. It is a small ball of fried risotto with hot, melted mozzarella inside. In...

Sage Risotto with Wild Mushrooms: February 2, 2009
Categories: Entree, Farmers' Market Find, Mushroom, Rice, Season: Winter
The farmer’s market in winter is a far cry from the abundance of late summer. Because many vendors do not come year round, though, one of the pleasures for me is that winter always brings a few new farmers with...
