Looking for a simple yet not totally plain side dish? I prepared this recipe last night and liked it. No wild bursts of flavor, but it has a subtle yumminess to it that will be a nice side kick to many different main courses. I served this with the Tofu Steaks, and the rice went nicely with the pepper walnut sauce. The walnut oil can be a little pricey, but can also be used for salad dressings, so keep it stored in the refrigerator for other uses.
Walnut Jasmine Rice
2 3/4 cup water
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups uncooked Jasmine or Basmati rice
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
2 TBS toasted walnut oil
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1. Bring first 3 ingredients to a boil in a medium saucepan, add rice. Cover and simmer 20 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, stir in parsley, walnuts, oil and pepper.
yummm, that does sound like it'd be good with the tofu!
