Rice??

[TectonicLacklustre]

I've heard lots of recipes that go really good with rice. I just made a curry the other night that was declicious! The recipe imitated rice with finely chopped cauliflower. I really dislike cauliflower... It wasn't the greatest.

Any other suggestions for rice alternatives? I've got tons of things that I'm sure would go great with them!

Ps. I know vaguely something about being able to soak wild rice? Can you buy raw rice?? Still like to know some other options too.

from what i know... wild rice is the only rice that you can sprout. it's easy to do... and tasty. just put some in a small jar with some water... put the lid on and sit it in your dehydrator for 12 hours. it'll sprout beautifully!

sprouted barley without the hull (called hulled barley i believe). worked like texture of brown rice in soup for me anyway.

i thought "they" found out wild rice wasnt really raw but was actually steamed?

Yes that's what I heard as well. These teency discrepancies, however, don't worry me too much..

then drizzle with lemon juice,sea salt and olive oil.

Aleesha, do you turn the dehydrator on? Or just using it as a dark place? I do the sprouted wild rice all of the time for salads but it doesn't actually sprout, it more less just cracks open. I soak it for a few days.

I use jicama to make rice. I like it much better than cauliflower. Peel and chop the jicama, put it in the food processor with a few cashews and some sea salt. Pulse into rice size pieces.

FORGOT TO MENTION

you put about 1/3 cupof sushi rice on your nori rolls
with either a thick sauce (like peanut sauce) or sliced avocado to hold the rice together
top with mock tuna pate. be creative!!!!! ROLL, CUT AND
ENJOY

Now that sounds like a good solution for me.

I buy truly raw wild rice from this eBay seller (hope it's okay to post this - if not, please delete):

It is pricey, but you don't need to use very much and it is absolutely delicious!
