There were a lot of juicy drippings left over from the crockpot pina colada pork chops (mostly coconut milk), so I just added 2 cups of the drippings (add water if there aren't enough) to 1 cup rice, cover and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until it gets soft. You have to watch it pretty close to it won't burn on the bottom (easy to do!). You also might have to add just a little bit more water, but it worked out nicely as a side dish with the same flavor.
Hey Lou, I was searching your blog for a recipe for dinner tonight (yes, it actually is 6pm and I have nothing yet) and loved your organized setup! I have a suggestion and a request. 1st, on your chicken salad sandwiches from I think it was October, (the ones with grapes in them on croissants) I've used a bit of curry powder (1 tsp or so) mixed in with the mayo and it is divine.
ReplyDeleteAlso, is it possible for you to add labels to your old posts of things that you made in the crockpot? I want to do more crockpot cooking and I'd love to use some of your recipes. I noticed you had a lot. It's probably a lot of work . . . sorry!
