November's Healthy Recipe is shared between
two rice dishes cooked in the crockpot.
The beauty of crockpot cooking is if you
see an ingredient you don't like, you can
substitute something else in it's place,
or just leave it out!
Easy Spanish Rice
1 onion, diced
1 green pepper, minced
2 tomatoes, peeled and quartered
15 oz tomato sauce
1 1/2 cup water
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
3/4 cup brown rice
2 Tbs salsa
Stir all ingredients together. Cover and
cook on low 7-10 hours.
Orange Wild Rice
1 1/2 cups wild and brown rice mix
3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
3 Tbs grated orange peel or 1 Tbs dried
orange peel
2 Tbs fresh orange juice
1 tsp salt
1 Tbs unsalted butter
1/2 to 3/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted to
your taste
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1/2 cup packed chopped fresh Italian
parsley leaves
Rinse the wild rice mix in a strainer under
cold running water. In a slow cooker, combine
the rice, broth, orange peel and juice, salt
and butter. Cover, set on High and cook until
the kernels are open and tender, but not mushy,
for 2-3 hours. Stir in the pecans, scallions
and parsley and serve. Serves 6-8.
