RICE SALAD RECIPE

Ingredients

2 cups Rice
3 cups boiling water
1/2 cup canola oil
1 tsp salt
1 lb package of diced frozen peas and carrots
1 bunch of dill - chopped
1 1/2 cups of diced pickles
1 bunch of green onions - chopped
Juice of 3 lemons
Olive oil

Wash the rice several times with warm water and drain. Heat the oil in a cooking pot. Saute the rice in oil for 2-3 minutes stirring. Pour 3 cups of boiling water in it. Add salt. Keep the lid on the whole time. Turn the heat to low and cook until the rice absorbs all the water. Check with a wooden spoon to make sure all the water is absorbed. Turn the heat off and let the rice stand for about 15 minutes. We call this brewing time. Then serve if you are having it as rice pilaf. If you are making the rice salad let it cool completely.

Don’t stir pilaf white it’s cooking.
Don’t use a spoon to fluff pilaf. Use a wooden fork for it.

Cook the frozen pea and carrot mix in the microwave or on the stove-top according to the package directions. Let it cool.Take the rice into a big salad bowl. Add the peas and carrots, chopped dill, diced pickles, chopped green onions and lemon juice and toss altogether. Drizzle some olive oil on top and serve.

STELLA BRAND CHEESE IN SAM'S CLUB STORES

I got this e-mail from one of my friends. She contacted the company to ask about the ingredients in their cheese products and here is the answer she got.

Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Saputo Cheese USA, Inc.!
All of our domestic products contain bovine milk and microbial (non-animal sourced) rennet with the exception of Ricotta Cheese. This is considered a "rennet less" cheese. The carrageenan, guar gum, modified food starch and distilled vinegar are plant based. Any residual rennet that may be present in the whey used in the production of Ricotta Cheese is microbial (non-animal sourced). Some of our products do contain lipase which is animal sourced (calf, kid or lamb). Lipase is usually found in our more intensely flavored cheeses. The following products do not contain lipase: Baby Swiss, Blue Cheese, Cheddar, Gorgonzola, Lorraine, Mozzarella, Parmesan, Ricotta, String Cheese and Swiss.
Please note that ingredients or changes in formulations may affect the above information and are subject to change without notice.
