Rice to the Rescue

Hot and spicy or cool and creamy-rice fills the bill in a variety of recipes. This week American Profile offers a savory side dish and a sweet dessert, both made from this adaptable grain.

Linda Fahrenkamp, of New Prague, Minn., sent in her mother's recipe for Spanish Rice. "My mom used to make this when I was growing up. Then I started making it, and now my kids request it when they come by," she says. You can start with either a cup of uncooked white rice or 2 cups of ready-to-serve rice to prepare this dish.

The Orange Rice Pudding recipe, from our sister magazine Relish, is made in a slow-cooker. Stir the rice, milk and sugar together in the slow-cooker and cook on high for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
