Portobello Mushroom and Rice Stew
This dish is a tasty, rich combination of portobello mushrooms, veggies, and rice with wine broth, with a consistency reminiscent of risotto or stew. Perfect for a cool weather weeknight dinner! Also great for those looking to cut back on meat consumption. Mushrooms are a good source of protein, though if you are a meat lover, ground turkey would be a nice addition.
Thai Spicy Basil Chicken Fried Rice
This Thai basil fried rice is a staple of Thai cooking and a great use for leftover rice. Adjust the spices to your tastes. I get Thai basil from a local Asian market. It has a different flavor than regular basil and makes all the difference in this recipe. It is fast and fairly easy to make but requires constant stirring.
Purple Apple Slaw with Peanut Butter Dressing
Rice vinegar, peanut butter, and ginger give an Asian-inspired flavor to a colorful slaw made with red cabbage, apples, and a bit of white onion.
