6 thoughts on “Spicy Vegetarian Sausage Stew with Wild and Brown Rice”

1. i normally put a drop of olive oil in the pan, before the rice, making sure the bottom and the walls are oiled, to avoid rice sticking to the pan.
   if you want to go the extra mile, add another drop of oil and toast the rice in the pan on the fire for a couple of minutes, before adding water..
   rice should become fluffier, but still separate.
   you see, sometimes i can post a useful comment…

   • Thanks I havent tried this method. I dont cook rice all that often and when I do I use the absorption method and sometimes put it in the wok with a stir fry afterwards and coat it that way.

     Toasting the rice sounds particularly good, yes you can be useful too!

   • Hi Karen,Good job on the healthy eaitng habits. However one sentence in your post made me wonder if you might not really understand the South Beach Diet when you refer to eliminating whole categories of food. South Beach does allow plenty of healthy, complex carbs except for the first two weeks of the diet. What are restricted are empty carbs like sugar and white flour, as well as a few very high carb vegetables like potatoes. Whole grains are encouraged, and complex carbs like beans and lentils are even allowed for phase one. So your lentil dish is perfectly South Beach Diet friendly, and it does sound very tasty.

   • I make a similar repcie, topped with some crumbles of goat cheese. Adds some calories and fat, but very delicious.For quinoa, I make a red wine vinaigrette, saute sliced mushrooms in half of it while cooking quinoa plain, then pour both over baby spinach while still hot for a wilted salad, and toss with remaining vinaigrette and toasted pine nuts.

2. People often add too much salt in their recipes without realizing it until it’s too late, but do not worry. There is a way to fix this! Add two peeled and chopped raw potatoes to the dish, and then allow it to simmer for around 15 minutes. The potatoes help absorb the extra salt. For a dish that is tomato-based, just put a few more tomatoes in and let them cook until they’re tender. These will dilute the extra salt.^..
