StephanieL Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Fried garlic shrimp over rice at a local Hawaiian festival. (My city has one of the largest per-capita Pacific Islander populations on the mainland.) It was good, but a lot of food for a hot day, even without finishing the rice. I'm going to be sweating garlic for the rest of the day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Diancecht Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 insalata di riso it’s great summer food (or any time of the year food). we are more likely to have this over pasta salad even though retro is making a comeback. take arborio rice and cook it just like regular rice, then spread the cooked rice on a cookie sheet and cool. then combine in a bowl with chopped vegetables, cheese and cured meats, sausage, tuna fish or sardines, dress with olive oil and vinegar or lemon juice, salt and pepper. this version contains: marinated artichoke hearts; beet salad; pickled cherry peppers; roasted tomatoes; ventresca tuna; mixed olives; and pearl onions.

StephanieL Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 A South African sandwich called a Prego roll: grilled steak and Prego sauce (think chili-garlic) on a Portuguese roll. Dutch Crunch substituted for the Portuguese roll, and we shmeared garlic butter on the grilled bread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

These have been, and remain on the menu, since the opening of Jack's Wife Freda all those years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Portuguese were the first Europeans in South Africa, and of course Mozambique is right next door. Many products sold in South Africa have ingredient lists, etc. in Portuguese on the packaging.

small h Posted Saturday at 09:05 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:05 PM That $5 bag of pea shoots lasted me a lot longer than I expected! And now it's gone, to make way for the $5 bag of watercress I bought this morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
