Answers:
BABY NANNY'S BROWN RICE

1 cup white rice
1 stick Blue Bonnet marg or butter
1 can Cambell's Beef Consomme
1 can Cambell's French Onion Soup

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Microwave butter until melted in a covered medium size CorningWare or Pyrex dish.

Next, add both cans of soup and rice. Cover and cook for one hour at 350°F degrees.

Liquid will be asborbed and you'll need to stir before serving.

Excellent when served as a side dish, or if you need to bring a covered dish somewhere.


BROWN RICE BERRY DELIGHT

1 (16 oz.) can whole cranberry jelly (or any whole berry jelly or preserve)
1/4 c. sugar
1 (15 1/4 oz.) can pineapple chunks, drained
1/2 c. chopped pecans
1 (4 oz.) carton vanilla yogurt
1 pkg. sugar free orange gelatin
1 c. hot water
1 bag Success 10-minute brown rice, cooked

Combine all ingredients, pour into a mold. Chill and serve. For a great holiday fare, prepare cranberry rice toss. Combine first five ingredients above. Heat slightly in a saucepan. Serve as a sauce over brown rice. May be garnished with pecan halves and whole cranberries.

BROWN RICE TABLE

2 tbsp. salad oil
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 med. size onion, minced
2 c. long-grain brown rice
5 c. regular strength beef broth
2 dry bay leaves
2 slices fresh ginger (each the size of a quarter)
1 1/2 tsp. pepper
4 c. thinly sliced cabbage
2 c. finely shredded carrots
Cilantro dressing (recipe follows)
Fruits & vegetable (directions follow)
Beef satay (recipe follows)
Curried peanut dressing (recipe follows)

To a 5 to 6 quart pan over medium-high heat, add oil, garlic, onion and rice. Stir until rice is opaque, about 5 minutes. Stir in broth, bay leaves, ginger and pepper. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed, about 50 minutes. Using a fork, scrape rice into a 10 x 15 inch rimmed pan. Let cool completely; remove bay leaves and ginger.
Meanwhile, mix cabbage with carrots. (At this point, you can cover and chill rice, cabbage mixture, dressing and fruits and vegetable separately up to 2 hours.) Add dressing to cabbage and carrots; using 2 forks, gently combine with rice.

Mound rice mixture in the center of a large platter. Surround rice with beef satay and fruits and vegetables. Offer curried peanut dressing to add to taste. Makes 8 servings.


CILANTRO DRESSING:

Mix together:

1/2 c. minced fresh cilantro (coriander)
1/4 c. minced fresh mint leaves
1/2 c. lime juice
1/2 c. salad oil
2 tsp. sugar

Fruits and vegetable. Diagonally slice 2 medium-size firm-ripe peeled bananas. (If fruits and vegetables are to be made ahead, peel and slice bananas just before serving.) Rinse, hull and halve 4 cups strawberries. Cut 2 medium size ripe papayas into wedges and scoop out seeds. (Or use 2 ripe mangoes; slice fruit from pit and cut fruit into bite-size pieces.) Diagonally slice 1 large European-style cucumber.

BEEF SATAY:

If your grill space is small, cook the beef in successive batches.

3 lb. boned beef sirloin or tenderloin (fat trimmed), cut into 1" chunks
Satay sauce (recipe follows)

Place beef in a bowl and mix with sauce. If made ahead, cover and chill up to 24 hours. Thread beef evenly on 16 slender (10-14 inch long) bamboo or metal skewers; reserve sauce.
Place beef on a lightly greased grill 4-6 inches above a solid bed of medium coals (you should be able to hold your hand at grill level only 4-5 seconds). Cook for 4 minutes. Brush with reserved sauce, turn, and brush again. Continue to cook until beef is done to your liking (cut to test), 4-6 minutes longer for medium-rare. Serves 8.

Satay Sauce: In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons molasses, 1 tablespoon salad oil, 3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed and 2 teaspoons ground coriander.


CURRIED PEANUT DRESSING:

1 c. thinly sliced green onions
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 1/2 tbsp. minced fresh ginger
1 tbsp. salad oil
1 1/2 tsp. curry powder
1 1/2 c. water
2/3 c. chunk style peanut butter
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. each soy sauce & firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 tsp. crushed dried hot red chilies

In a 1 1/2 to 2 quart pan over medium heat, combine onions, garlic and ginger with oil. Stir often until vegetables begin to brown, 8-10 minutes.
Add curry powder and stir for 1 minute. Add water, peanut butter, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar and chilies; stir until mixture boils and thickens. Serve warm or at room temperature. If made ahead, cover and chill up to 2 days. Return to room temperature to serve; thin with water, if desired. Makes 2 1/2 cups.


SHRIMP CHIPS:

2-4 c. salad oil
8 oz. dried shrimp chips (also called shrimp crackers) or corn chips

In a wok or 5-6 quart pan, heat 1 inch oil to 375 degrees on a thermometer. Add a few shrimp chips at a time and cook until puffy and lightly browned, 30-60 seconds. Lift out and let drain on paper towels. If made ahead, store airtight up to 3 days. Makes 8 servings.

Keep it simple.... Uncle Ben's has EXCELLENT brown rice either in the microwave packs or the boxed version.

My family loves it!

i like to suttee some pecans with butter and cracked black pepper. then cook up some brown rice in the oven and add dried pecans, the nuts. i like to cook the rice in a combination of veggie broth and coconut milk. mm. sounds weird but tastes heavenly.
