FRESH ORANGE RICE



Fresh Orange Rice image

Simple and basic-orange rice with no onion or garlic, no herbs. Depending on my menu, for a more pronounced flavor I will increase the amount of orange juice; or omit the zest, etc. (But I like orange, so I almost always add more.) From 1,000 Lowfat Recipes' cookbook.

Categories     Oranges

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 fresh oranges
2 cups jasmine rice (I also use basmati but plain white rice rarely)
orange zest
3 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
orange slice, for garnish

Steps:

  • Remove the zest from the orange and measure out up to 2 tablespoons, if desired. Mince and set aside.
  • To garner the maximum amount of juice from your oranges, with a sharp knife pierce the oranges about 5-6 times and microwave for 30 seconds.
  • Juice the orange and measure out 3/4 cup; more or less according to your preference. You may need to juice another orange if two oranges don't yield enough juice. Remember that for 2 cups of rice you will need 4 cups of liquid (water/orange juice) in whatever ratio you choose.
  • Place the rice in a pan along with the water, salt and orange juice. NOTE: *Important to stir in the orange zest at the end of the cooking time. DO NOT add the zest in with the rice while it is cooking or the rice will turn bitter.
  • Cover pan, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 20-25 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove pan from stove; fluff rice with a fork and stir in the zest. Let stand covered for a few minutes then serve.
  • Garnish with orange slices if desired.

CREAMY ORANGE RICE PUDDING



Creamy Orange Rice Pudding image

This rice pudding made with grains of creamy Arborio rice is flavored by orange juice, lemon zest, vanilla, and heavy cream.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 orange
1 1/4 cups Arborio rice
4 cups milk
Zest of 1 lemon
1/2 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Remove zest from orange using the smallest holes on a box grater, and set aside. Cut ends off orange, and remove peel, pith, and outer membranes, following the curve of the fruit with a paring knife. Lift sections away from membranes, and set aside. Squeeze juice from membranes over sections before discarding.
  • Place the Arborio rice, milk, reserved orange zest, lemon zest, vanilla bean and seeds, salt, and sugar in a medium saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and most but not all of the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream. Remove the vanilla bean, and serve the pudding in small bowls garnished with orange sections.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality, aromatic rice, such as basmati or jasmine, for the best flavor.
  • Be sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any starch and impurities.
  • Toast the rice in a little bit of oil or butter before adding the liquid to enhance the flavor.
  • Use fresh orange juice and zest for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use bottled orange juice, but be sure to choose a high-quality brand.
  • Add other spices and herbs to taste, such as saffron, cumin, or coriander.
  • Serve orange-flavored rice with grilled or roasted chicken, fish, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Orange-flavored rice is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. It is a great way to add a pop of color and flavor to your meals. Whether you are looking for a simple weeknight dinner or a special occasion dish, orange-flavored rice is sure to please everyone at the table.
