For Christmas, I got lots of good food stuff which will take me a while to get through to blog about, but this is the first of those things. My parents gave me a box of red coral jasmine rise from Thailand. It was really delicious and for those of you that don’t like rice, if you can find this, try it. It is super flavorful and made a great colorful accompaniment to my dish. I think I made this last Sunday (the days are beginning to blur together now that school is started). I roasted a chicken stuffed with 6 cloves of garlic, 1/2 a lemon and salt and peppper, I rubbed the outside of the chicken with salt, pepper and olive oil and cooked it for 20 minutes per pound – YUM – can’t go wrong at all. I served this alongside this tasty red coral rice that I steamed in my rice steamer and some wilted fresh spinach and a whole grain bread. DELICIOUS! If you are interested in the rice there is a website on the box – http://www.fairtradecertified.org – my parents trying to respect my “hippy dippy” cooking style. Cheers to you – hope try the rice and like it.
