Pecan Rice A Fun Side

 Add any kind of nut to a side and it amps up the whole meal. This is true with pecan rice. It';s a tasty mix of this earthy nut and any kind of rice. Serve with with any main meal

I received he recipes in my email and it stood out. what a great side., especially to the portabello mushrooms I had as a main course tonight. It's just toasting a bag of pecans ( I bought the bag at Lidl which has an excellent of nuts for cooking and baking)

 

It';s a low roast at 300 degrees Farenheit for five minutes.I lightly salted them to bring out more of their flavor. It was then tossing them in with a mix of LIdl's garden vegetable  with pepper and plain short grain rice packs

I gave the mix a littlemore zing and moisture with the addition of Lidl's garlic powder and their olive oil.

Use the garlic powder sparingly and only use about a tablespoon or two of olive oil.

After stirring and four minutes in the microwave the dish was ready.

This was very tasty and I know i'll make it again. There are other recipes that have the rice cooked with sauteed onions and then the pecans This is something I may try in the fall with  plant based chicken. I like the idea of adding the pecans to write for a tasty side

Pecans and rice are a wonderful way to amp upa meal. Try it with any main course for a delicious meal.It adds   flavor and crunch.,
