Searching for what to do with left over rice? Here we share with you how to make a second meal from leftover wild rice.
Sometimes you just have to make dinner on the fly. What you already have made or on hand, but spicing it up a bit with a different twist. Have left overs? Give them a make over... Lol... funny when you change dinner up sometimes it is more appealing the second time around.
Do you use left overs and change them up when you make them the second time around or leave them as is? I made the chicken thigh recipe I have shared with you before this week. I decided the chicken thighs would be pretty good over wild rice. I had a small packet of wild rice on hand and the directions stated to make the entire bag (8 oz). I followed the directions on the rice packet letting it simmer on the burner for 45-50 minutes. Wow, did that rice plump up and was there ever soo much of it too!
I put the leftover wild rice in the fridge and thought I will come up with something else tomorrow night. Yes, the picture above is leftovers... I was like what am I supposed to do with all of this rice?
Meal one? We had the chicken thighs. Meal two? I cut up portabella and white cap mushrooms, added the wild rice, gluten free mushroom soup, half of an onion to the mixture and said ok now what? Chicken tenders to the rescue, I cut up chicken tenders and let them cook over the burner until they were no longer pink. Chicken tenders are great when you are short on time, since they take little time to cook.
