I fixed a recipe given to me by Joyce Mitchell and it was outstanding! Thanks, Joyce! Chicken strips with onion, garlic, red bell pepper strips, white wine and olives. And capers…we added that….
It was served over rice. Now, I have never cooked rice from scratch in my whole life. Instant rice, yes. But rice you boil for 30-40 minutes…nope. So what’s the problem, you ask? Just follow the directions on the box. Ok, but they are all in Italian. I got the part about boiling in cold water to start for 25-35 minutes. But…and here’s the clincher….50 grams of rice per person.
For 4/6 people they say 250 ml of water for each 100 grams of rice. even Google wasn’t much help. Did I pay attention when we were learning the Metric System in school years ago? Just enough to pass that weeks test. So, tell your kids and grandkids to learn that metric stuff so they can go to Europe someday and cook rice. Or bake a cake, or whatever.
The rice was almost perfect! I just winged the water to rice ratio and added water as it cooked down and stirred it a lot. The chicken and pepper strips over rice was just delicious. Recipe upon request. You’re on your own with the rice!
