BEING CREATIVE WITH LEFT OVER DIRTY RICE.

BEING CREATIVE WITH LEFT OVER DIRTY RICE.  

Making food last as long as possible is all about being creative.   Dirty Rice is a wonderful adaptive meal that can really go a long way. The two things I like to do with it is add it to soup broth and put it between fresh home made tortillas with veggies and cheese and a bit of hot sauce. I provided the dates of the recipes so you can find them.  Mandarin Pancakes are really good with Dirty Rice too.  

INGREDIENTS:

Dirty Rice Recipe from  9/23/14
Tortillas:  Tortilla Recipe from  8/30/14  or Maderian Pancakes Recipe from 6/23/14
Shreded Cheese Mild chedder is good. 
Hot sauce (optional)  
1 or 2 Anihime Peppers. Chopped   Or add red bellpeppers, red onion instead of white. 
1 or a half of white onion. Chopped.
5 Whole peeled garlic (Optional)

Add onion, pepper and garlic to a pan and sautee on high till onions and peppers have a light  brownish carmilized look to them.

On a warm Tortilla sprinkle your cheese add hot sauce and then add a spoonful of Dirty rice and a spoonfull of veggies.    

Now if you have made every thing ahead of time.  This makes for a really quick meal.

Now keep in mind  if you have just about two to three spoonfull of Dirty rice and a bit of veggies left.   And you have soup broth ice cubes in the freezer.  Don't hesitate to throw the cubes into the pot heat them up and add the Dirty rice and veggies.  This makes for a really good soup.

Or Maybe you can create something new.

Have Fun Making your own creations.  :)
