All that you can do with rice

I always liked the rice, but not cooked it with great frequency, here. When I prepare something  with rice   normally, I use Thasmine, by far  my favorite I love the aroma released when cooking.
The other day I cooked rice to accompany  some meal, and left some, as I do not like reheated rice, and I do not like waste, thought to make some changes,so we can use it. My first thought was to make  rice cakes that you can use as side dish. Super simple to make and  for sure  kids and grow ups will be love it.

                                                              Rice cakes

Ingredients: Serve: 6 cakes (medium size) Time: 30 minuts 1 cup boiled rice 1 large egg, 4 tablespoons flour 4 tablespoon milk 1 teaspoon baking powder   Parsley or thyme, chopped   Salt and pepper to taste

Method : Put the rice in a bowl and mix with other ingrdientes. Grease a skillet with butter and place a spoonful of the mixture on the hot butter. Leave and turn until golden brown . Serve immediately

Thasmine rice with tomato and  sweet peas

 As a second option I thought on  rice with tomato sauce and sweet peas. As I saw some wonderful, very fresh in the market, I thought that would be fine with my rice.Well, it really looks great and if you like fresh peas as much as I like I let you here more one suggestion  fast and  easy  with great flavour , that you can use as main dish if you like.

                                              Rice with tomato and sweet fresh peas 

Ingredients Serve: 4 Time: 40 minutos 1 cup rice 1small onion 1 clove garlic 1 grated carrot 1 / 2 red bell pepper 2 tomatoes 250g fresh peas 1 spoon of sunflower oil Chopped rosemary 2 1 / 2 cups warm chicken broth. Thyme 1 crushed bay leaf   Salt and pepper to taste

Method : Cut the onion, garlic and pepper into squares Liquefy tomatoes in the blender with a pinch of sugar.   In a saucepan heat the oil, and bring to simmer the ingredients above, for three minutes. Add the carrots and rice and peas and stir fry for two minutes. Add the tomatoes and herbs, cook for another minute Add the chicken broth and put salt and pepper. bring to boil, when boiling cover pot and continue cooking over low heat until the broth has evaporated.

        Of course we could not miss the dessert, very sweet and creamy. My mother's favorite dessert: rice pudding. It's like I'm in Argentina, could not fail to have dulce de leche, of course. I put sugary dulce de leche to give a little more contrasting textures. The ideal would have given a layer of dulce de leche in the middle and another at the end, I advise that they do so.
As can be seen, with rice can be done from one entry to the dessert.
