Italian Rice A Roni Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together salt, pepper, coriander, mustard powder, celery salt, paprika, turmeric, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and pasta. Cook and stir until onions soften and pasta turns golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in spice blend; cook and stir about 30 seconds. Add rice and stir until rice is coated with butter, about 1 minute.
• Pour in chicken broth. Bring to a simmer. Stir; reduce heat to low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid; cook for 17 minutes. Remove from heat; let covered skillet sit for 5 minutes. Remove lid and stir in parsley, fluffing rice and breaking up any clumps.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare Rice a Roni mix as directed. Remove sausage from casing; crumble in 10 inch skillet. Brown sausage and onion; drain off fat, reserving 1 tablespoon of drippings in skillet. Set aside. Add zucchini and garlic; saute over medium heat 1 minute. Cover; continue cooking over low heat about 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Combine prepared Rice a Roni, sausage mixture, 1 cup spaghetti sauce, and basil; spread into 11 x 7 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese. Top with zucchini. Pour over remaining sauce. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 25 to 30 minutes. You may substitute ground beef for sausage.

Steps:

• Prepare Rice A Roni according to directions omitting butter. Let cool completely.
• Combine drained marinade, curry powder, mayonnaise and spices. Whisk until smooth with a fork or small whisk.
• Mix cooled Rice A Roni in a 2-quart bowl with marinade dressing and chopped vegetables.
• Chill.

Steps:

• Place chicken, celery, carrot, onion, and bay leaf in a stockpot and cover with water. Set over high heat, add salt, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the thighs and legs can be pulled easily from the carcass, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove chicken to a bowl, carefully tipping the carcass to drain any broth from the cavity back into the stockpot.
• Let meat sit until it's cool enough to handle, 15 to 20 minutes. Separate skin, bones, and meat. Set aside 2 cups shredded meat (white, dark, or a combination of the two) for rice-a-roni and reserve the rest for another use.
• Transfer skin and bones back to the stockpot with the broth and simmer for 1 to 2 hours or until you need it. Strain.
• Combine oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot and melted, add onion, bell pepper, and salt. Cook and stir until onion just starts to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add broken spaghetti and cook until toasted and light golden brown to dark brown in color, about 3 minutes; it's okay if the onions and peppers start to caramelize.
• Add rice and stir until completely coated. Add pepper, oregano, cumin, and saffron. Stir in 3 ½ cups chicken broth. Add cayenne, garbanzo beans, peas, and shredded chicken and return to a simmer.
• Cover tightly with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 15 minutes; do not lift the lid or stir during this time.
• Remove the lid and check the rice in a couple spots. It should be just barely tender. (If it seems undercooked, you can cover and cook for a few more minutes.) Replace the lid, turn off the heat, and let rice sit for 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle parsley and cilantro over top and stir to combine. Check for seasoning and serve immediately.
