Simple Orange Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Remove the zest from the orange and measure out up to 2 tablespoons, if desired. Mince and set aside.
• To garner the maximum amount of juice from your oranges, with a sharp knife pierce the oranges about 5-6 times and microwave for 30 seconds.
• Juice the orange and measure out 3/4 cup; more or less according to your preference. You may need to juice another orange if two oranges don't yield enough juice. Remember that for 2 cups of rice you will need 4 cups of liquid (water/orange juice) in whatever ratio you choose.
• Place the rice in a pan along with the water, salt and orange juice. NOTE: *Important to stir in the orange zest at the end of the cooking time. DO NOT add the zest in with the rice while it is cooking or the rice will turn bitter.
• Cover pan, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 20-25 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
• Remove pan from stove; fluff rice with a fork and stir in the zest. Let stand covered for a few minutes then serve.
• Garnish with orange slices if desired.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, saute celery in butter until tender. Add the remaining ingredients; mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender.

Steps:

• Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and rice, and cook until the rice smells toasty, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and half of the orange zest and juice. Bring to a boil, stir once more, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer until tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, still covered, for 5 minutes. Stir the remaining orange zest and juice into the rice, and garnish with the green onions.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Mix rice, orange peel and nutmeg in ungreased 3-quart casserole. Stir in carrots and broth.

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add rice, and simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain; set aside.
• Prepare vegetables: Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and celery; cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in cooked rice, scallions, zest, and juice. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Bring milk to a simmer in a saucepan; add vanilla bean and stir. Mix rice and white sugar into simmering milk; add lemon peel. Bring liquid to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring constantly, until rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer saucepan to the refrigerator and chill, at least 30 minutes.
• Whisk egg yolks and orange liqueur together in a bowl. Beat egg whites in a separate bowl until foamy. Continue to beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
• Remove vanilla bean and lemon peel from rice. Stir raisins and orange zest into rice; add egg yolk mixture and stir. Softly fold egg whites into rice mixture. Slowly pour rice mixture into the prepared cake pan.
