I had some free brown rice to use. I knew there had to be a beans and rice recipe out there for that. The last three ingredients of the first recipe I saw included dry sherry, soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. That was a combination I needed to try.
I was going to scale the recipe up and some of the numbers just didn’t look right. For example it wanted so much onion that it would overload the recipe. I took the picture of the mise en place after cutting the onion in half and knowing that the three ingredients are the end were definitely going to need adjustments. I ended up doubling all but the soy sauce just before serving.
It’s getting harder to trust recipes.
But was I able to get it to work? Yes.
Cost per person: $2.45, a little more than the bread and butter.
This looks simultaneously tasty and basic, so I’m intrigued to learn more details about how you made it. Could you link the recipe please?
This is the recipe. But I scaled up to a 4x batch size. “Only” used two onions, should have only used one. I’d go with two celery ribs. I doubled the sherry and soy sauce but those would need readjusting again with the smaller amount of veg.
Also I didn’t add the paprika until the garlic is added.
