Negative Space: rice
- Doi bhat: ginger-scented rice
- This is a very lightly-spiced rice dish, very delicate and flavorful, and very easy to make. The most time-consuming part is making the rice.
- Green rice with corn and tomato
- Except for skinning the peppers, this is an easy rice dish and can be as spicy or mild as you wish.
- Jamaican rice
- Jalapeño, fennel, rosemary, and allspice are among the flavors in this simple rice dish.
- Jerry’s Jambalaya
- This fresh-vegetable jambalaya is a wonderful stew-like mix of spicy vegetables, pork, and chicken. It will definitely brighten up a rainy evening!
- Persian-style tofu and rice
- This recipe is up by request after last year’s Christmas party. The spices in the “meatballs” really have their own flavor, and tofu’s amazing ability to absorb flavors makes this a worthwhile dish.
