Maria, I’m one of your senior citizen viewers and I truly appreciate the way you explain and share. I feel like you’re showing some folks who might not know much about cooking how to actually do it. I’ve cooked for more than 55 years and I’m always happy to learn something new. With rice I don’t rinse it although I look it over the same way I do beans. I don’t want it wet because I always fry it in the fat for a couple of minutes before I add the liquid.
I made the garlic butter recipe. Best rice recipe. Ever. My family said it tasted like the best fried rice you’ve ever had. It had that umami characteristic. Thank you.
I love when you take a product and use it several different ways which in the end saves us money. Cooking for only myself (widow) I cut the recipe in half or more but gets me out of the rut of the same old, same old. Thanks.
I ended up with 20 lbs of rice and while I love rice, I was running out of ways to make it and we were really getting tired of rice. These are going to break up the monotony nicely. Thank you 💕
You might want to watch some Meals with Maria videos from about a year ago like 84 meals for $30 and 60 meals for $20. There are some good rice recipes in them.
I just made a rice cooker full of rice, pinto beans and peas. Seasoned with taco seasoning. Once done and scooped into my bento boxes, I drizzled garlic sauce ontop and added some diced sausage.
I get a large jar of chopped garlic from the Dollar tree, now $1.25 It is handy and it is a lot of garlic for the cost. Also we had no onions in my area for a few months. I bought dry minced onion for .98 at Walmart. I put what I needed in boiling water a couple minutes and then sauteed as usual. As a senior, having a huge bag of onions sometimes a few get away from me.
I do the same. I hate that produce gets away from me. I've recently even purchased dehydrated bell peppers and celery, as well. A bigger up front cost, but my guilt for waste has been eliminated. My pantry cooking has improved greatly.
Loved the singing at the beginning and the Survivor reference- my sister always tells me that she wants to go on Survivor to lose weight and I always say I’ll provide her with all the rice and dirty water she can handle!😂 These all look delicious. Thank you for sharing Maria!
I love making rice pudding. I boil rice in milk then let it simmer until soft. I add some sugar and lots of cinnamon. A very affordable and tasty dessert.
When my kids were at home I used to make broccoli rice. I made rice while broccoli was steaming add together add cube of butter salt to taste. Delish. Loved your ideas too. Can't wait to make them. Blessings!!
I'm not a broccoli fan, but if it was diced finely and maybe some additional shredded cheese was part of the butter and salt, all of a sudden it sounds delicious! 🤣
Wow ‼️ These look delicious. The garlic rice and the spinach rice for sure. I'm a rice FAN for sure. Spanish rice, steamed white rice, pilaf and egg fried rice. Those are the only rice dishes I've ever made so today's video gives me two more rice dishes! I know you said your husband loved the onion soup rice...but I'll have to try it maybe with chicken (??) Anyway, thank you for another great video Maria! A blessed Easter to you ‼️🙌🏻❤️
Note on the onion soup rice: try the recipe with 1 cup of white rice; 1 can French Onion soup; one can of Beef Consomme’; 1 8 oz. Can of sliced mushrooms undrained; and 4 tablespoons of butter (yes, the original recipe I was given 45 years ago also called for 1 whole stick of butter - I thought that was too much, but it’s definitely buttery!). Mix it all up in a casserole dish with a lid and bake for 45 @ 350 degrees. You can take off the lid and bake for a few more minutes to remove a little moisture. My recipe is titled “Brown Rice” simple because of the color when it comes out of the oven. However, I’m trying your recipe because it’s hotter that h-e-double-hockey-sticks in Florida right now, and I don’t always like firing up the oven! 🥵
Just watching this rice recipe video today all three of these sound fantastic I like to know about those garlic chips although my family is not garlic crazy they like garlic bread and garlic butter flavor so they may like this the other two sound fantastic my other thing is the spinach and that might even be not a problem with this recipe we'll see I'm going to give them all three a try they sound great I actually saved them so I can look at them again and redo recreate reread ever. Thank you for all you do I'm not a real fan of rice but if it's got enough stuff in it I do okay with it so I needed these recipes and if you've got more throw them out there I'll take them if no one else
Let’s talk about rice? Not rice, rice, baby?? Cmon, Maria! 😉 This was great - thank you. My husband grew up eating a lot of rice and my family only ate it occasionally, so he loves it and wants it all the time but I struggle to make it interesting. So helpful! That garlic business looks amazing.
Other things you can do. If you make a ramen noodle salad, save the seasoning packets and toss them in with rice. Also, break up some dried spaghetti noodles, brown them off in butter, add your rice, stirring for a bit, then stock or onion soup mix. Homemade Rice a Roni. Leftover meat works in it too.
Again, Maria, you remind me always of recipes that I’ve forgotten …my sister and I were reminiscing yesterday how much as a kid we loved it when my Mom made oven rice for dinner… she was cooking for five kids and we were always hungry!!! By the way, you look very pretty today with your hair down and light makeup on!! Have fun Easter with your kiddos and husband😘😘
Want a way to all ways have green onions on hand. Buy a bunch from the store cut off the bottom white part with the roots and plant in a flower pot. They grow fast. I just bring mine in during the winter.i just cut off some of the green tops, Fresh green onions when ever needed.
Make some rice pudding as well . The green onions are so easy to grow just plant the roots and a little of the whites in two weeks you will have fresh ones. I want to thank you for new ideas.
Omg u so silly!😇 I luv rice recipes😋 Its so good and easy and cheap! Deff gonna try these!🍛🍚Never Thot of these paired w rice.I don't no if u might like this but.I once made white rice w drained but not rinsed tuna in oil on top w a little squirt of real lime juice .its so good.its also good in ramen noodles too.my kids like it w a dash of soy sauce and hot sauce,in the rice or ramen.one of my friends like rice w tomato soup w butter and milk also.its not bad.and its cheap😋i did the tuna and rice on night after working until 2:30 in the morning at a bar, and only made $1 in tips. I was single w no kids at the time,so I was able to buy 2 cans of tuna across the street from my apt. I already had the rice and lime at home.I was so broke.I was 18.it was yummy tho!😋😁now I have 5 kiddos🍼❤😎😍😘
In a giant pot, melt three pounds of butter over a medium flame. Add salt, pepper and another pound of butter and reduce the flame, then add 1/2 a teaspoon of white rice, a bit more butter and finally season it with butter, but seriously, that onion soup rice dish was fabulously delicious!
Everything is great 👍🏻 don’t forget to freeze your rice to kill off the larvae that hatch little critters rinse rice before cooking to eliminate some of the arsenic😀
Happy New Easter 🐰🐣thanx for the recipes, I think I will go easy on the butter and oil I think, as in Europe a least its figure of speach almost like gold to buy. I always put in some dried or home grow herbs to switch food up. Mostly one at a time or some times a mix, Like Italian mix, thyme, chives, parsley, coriander, chili, paprika powder, cloves, or a tablespoon or so tomatopaste/ ketchup/ bbq sauce wathever even just raisins are tasty especially together with currypowder!

@@MealsWithMaria Thanks! I really enjoy your videos you do such a great job and you save a lot of people money you do a good thing for people. You're appreciated.
Mixing and modifying the onion soup rice with the spinach rice may be good. Garnish with garlic chips and scallions if desired. .May be more of an adult recipe because of the strong flavors.
@@MealsWithMaria If the combination has to strong of a flavor for the children extend the recipe by adding an extra cup or two of rice when cooking to dilute the overall seasonings. Will make a good base fore stir fried rice, empanadas or burritos. Will be trying your rice recipes for next month's menu plans
Make double batch first night serve as you regularly make it next night add drained can of carrots or corn or mixed veggies With a can of drained navy beans , the spinach rice add carrots next day drained can black beans , onion rice add peas or some other veggies if you have 1 chicken best cooked. Make double batch freeze half in freezer bag flatten out easier to thaw heat and eat fast dinner
I will definitely be trying out that spinach rice very soon! Half a pound of frozen chopping spinach and way too much rice to admit to that needs to get eaten.
Rice milk!!!! Plain or horchata style. Is it as good as whole milk and Cinnamon Toast Crunch, nope… but in smoothies, it’s pretty good. There are a ton of recipes online. For a change in texture, take warm cooked rice(you can mash half in the blender), beat in an egg, make a patty and fry on the stove top. Crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle. Can be savory or sweet depending on how you flavored your rice.
The garlic rice is basically a quick or poor man’s risotto. Don’t rinse your rice for this one. Risotto would use stock, but probably have onion and parmigiano and the starch from the rice cooking little by little with the stick makes it creamier. This is a good alternative if you don’t have time or all the ingredients for risotto.
@@MealsWithMaria onions, garlic, tomatoes, peppers, and greens like romaine, cabbage and bok choy are growing in my garden and on my windowsills from kitchen scraps. I love your ideas. Thank you so much for taking your time to help us ❤

The spinach rice def looks delish, I'm going to try with maybe a little parmesan cheese!
Absolutely! That would be a wonderful addition!!
I like the way you prepare your dishes. Clear, clean and consise. Your recipes don't have that "I'm not eating that crap" look.
🤣 thank you! I do like it to look appealing 😀

Blessed Easter to you too! I’m so glad I was able to share some new ideas 🙏🙏
Great ideas for making the rice different for meals. I loved it. Thank you for showing us how to actually cook it.
😀 so glad you like the ideas!
Rice is so so versatile and such a great blank slate! I love baked rice. It's also great for breakfast and can be flavored with anything you like!
That’s true! I need to do some more baked rice!
@@MealsWithMaria I have never really done baked rice-how?-maybe a video thing for you thanks

That sounds great. Reducing the butter is a fabulous idea!
It really sounds like the "Maria's Rice" recipe she doctored and the "Brown Rice" recipe are the same.
Yum yum. They look great

In a giant pot, melt three pounds of butter over a medium flame. Add salt, pepper and another pound of butter and reduce the flame, then add 1/2 a teaspoon of white rice, a bit more butter and finally season it with butter, but seriously, that onion soup rice dish was fabulously delicious!
🤣🤣🤣
Everything is great 👍🏻 don’t forget to freeze your rice to kill off the larvae that hatch little critters rinse rice before cooking to eliminate some of the arsenic😀
Happy New Easter 🐰🐣thanx for the recipes, I think I will go easy on the butter and oil I think, as in Europe a least its figure of speach almost like gold to buy. I always put in some dried or home grow herbs to switch food up. Mostly one at a time or some times a mix, Like Italian mix, thyme, chives, parsley, coriander, chili, paprika powder, cloves, or a tablespoon or so tomatopaste/ ketchup/ bbq sauce wathever even just raisins are tasty especially together with currypowder!

Looks so good and so easy to make!
Yes!
Rinsing or washing rice removes that excess starch, resulting in grains that are more separate when cooked. (There’s the added benefit that rinsing rice before cooking can reduce the level of arsenic, but FDA research shows that the impact is minimal on the cooked grain.) When it comes to rice dishes that call for the grains to stick together more, such as rice pudding or risotto made with arborio rice, the advice is split. According to America’s Test Kitchen editor in chief Dan Souza, “You want to avoid [rinsing] if you’re making something like risotto or rice pudding. We found that rinsing compromises that desirable creamy consistency.”
Love americas test kitchen! Thank you for sharing!
YES, I love all my grains of cooked rice to be separated. Rinsing well beforecooning really helps to do that.
It also cleans the rice - it's dirty!
love those rice dishes please keep it up
Maria, Asia (the entire continent) the rice experts wash the rice 3x. They know the best way. WASH THE RICE!🤣😂
That’s true, I should trust the experts!
I was thinking the same thing! It reduces the naturally occurring arsenic and other yuckies that are sometimes present.
I have alot of rice on hand but rarely make it. Great video
Thank you!
Great ideas
Thank you!
Plz tell me you kept that delicious garlic oil after making the chips? I use it alllllll the time. Love your channel!

Love recycling!!
