GRANDMA'S APPLES AND RICE



Grandma's Apples and Rice image

LIKE MOST women of her generation, my husband's grandmother was a "no-measure cook". This recipe of hers suffered as it was handed down, so I made an effort to work out the kinks. Finally, my husband pronounced the results as good as he remembered, and we declared it the "official" recipe. -Joan Kasura, Silver Spring, Maryland

APPLE RICE



Apple Rice image

I got some apple sausage from Costco a few years ago and was experimenting with ways to use it, and came up with this. Mild Italian sausage works nicely too. It makes a good main dish served with salad and garlic bread, or a side served with chicken.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 box uncle ben wild rice mix, less seasonings
2 apples, cut in small pieces with skin peeled
3 links mild Italian sausage or 3 links apple sausage, sliced
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 large carrot, grated
1 medium onion, diced
2 tablespoons garlic
cinnamon, to taste
1/2 cup walnuts or 1/2 cup almonds, chopped
butter, to taste

Steps:

  • Start cooking the rice according to box directions, but leave out the seasonings.
  • In a large pan over medium heat, cook the sausage until it's about halfway done.
  • Add the apples, onions, garlic, carrot, and nuts.
  • If the sausage has not released enough grease to coat all the ingredients, add butter.
  • When the sausage is done and the apples and onions are beginning to caramelize, add the brown sugar and sprinkle with cinnamon, reducing heat to low.
  • When the rice is done, add the rice to the pan with the sausage mixture and add enough butter to coat the rice, and additional brown sugar and cinnamon to taste.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the rice is coated with the butter and sugar and the ingredients are mixed well.
  • It should be a fairly sticky consistency.

Pork and Cabbage with Wild Rice and Spiced Apple image

You'll never want to cook cabbage any other way. Roasting the purple cabbage is not just super easy, but it keeps the pretty purple vibrant.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup wild rice blend
1/2 head red cabbage, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 5 cups)
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
4 teaspoons country Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 red apples, cored and cut into slices
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
Four 6-ounce glasses reduced-fat milk, for serving

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Prepare the wild rice as per package instructions (discarding any included flavor packets). Keep warm and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, toss the cabbage, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1 tablespoon of the vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper together on a baking sheet. Spread out leaving room for the pork tenderloin in the center.
  • Sprinkle the pork with 3/4 teaspoon of the apple pie spice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Heat the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add the pork and cook, turning as needed, until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Place on the baking sheet and brush the top and sides of the pork with 2 teaspoons of the mustard. Roast until the cabbage is tender and the internal temperature of the pork registers 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board to rest for a few minutes and then slice. Toss the parsley with the cabbage.
  • Toss the apples with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice. For the sauce, stir together the sour cream and the remaining 2 teaspoons mustard and 1 teaspoon vinegar. Divide the rice, cabbage, pork and apples evenly among four dinner plates. Spoon the sauce over the pork. Serve each with a glass of milk.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice: Basmati or jasmine rice are best for this recipe, as they have a light, fluffy texture and absorb the flavors of the spices well.
  • Use fresh spices: Freshly ground spices have a more intense flavor than pre-ground spices. If you can, grind your own spices just before using them.
  • Sauté the spices: Sautéing the spices in oil or butter before adding them to the rice helps to release their flavor and aroma.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the rice. Use a broth that is flavorful and has a rich taste.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and bland.

Conclusion:

Apple spice rice is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. The combination of sweet apples, warm spices, and nutty rice is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a side dish that is both flavorful and easy to make, give apple spice rice a try.
