Jalal (Glory), 14 Kalimat (Words) 177 B.E. - Saturday, July 25, 2020
Day 2808: Today is Culinarians Day. This is the day to celebrated cooks, both professional and amateur. Write a tribute to someone in your life who cooks. My Grandmother, Mary Florence, was a wonderful cook. She baked pies for all our holiday occasions. She always took some type of salad to every potluck dinner she attended. The dish I remember fondly was her Spanish rice. She had her own recipe, and would make it usually for lunch or the noonday meal. Her Spanish rice was different from what one usually considers Spanish rice because she would make it with hamburger meat. In fact, it wasn't until I moved to Las Vegas that I found out Spanish rice was a vegetarian dish. Grandma Mary's Spanish Rice 1 to 2 lbs. hamburger meat 2 cups rice 1 or 2 small cans of tomato paste or sauce Salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Cook hamburger meat and rice separately, with desired salt, pepper, and spices. When meat and rice are thoroughly cooked, mix them together in the skillet you cooked the hamburger meat in. Alternatively, you can mix them together in the pot you cooked the rice in. Add tomato sauce and/or paste. Alternatively, you can use either red or green salsa (this is what I usually use). If you prefer use ground chicken, turkey, pork, or vegetable based faux meat (this could work just as well as the real meat, with the proper spices added). |
