Besides summer rice dishes and others for any time of year, which must not forget winter rich dishes, accompanied by seasonal foods.

At times, when it is hard to cook and dry rice is convenient, you can make rice with boneless cod. This is a delicious dish prepared like paella. It is accompanied by broth made from cod or whiting.

If you prefer vegetables, you can serve rice with cauliflower, spinach or Swiss chard. In this case it is best to mix rice with the broth used to cook the vegetables. And if you have broth from stewed meat, even better.

Rice with game meat, and other dishes

There are dishes prepared with game meat. One example is venison stewed with red wine, which can be transformed into venison with rice.

Another option is rice with free-range chicken and artichokes, or rice with stewed lamb.

Another way to enjoy rice is stew it: with blood sausage, chorizo sausage, pork, beef, chicken, bacon, cabbage and any other ingredient you feel like throwing into the pot. It's like a magic potion with hundreds of possibilities, each tastier than the last.

The best thing about rice is that it goes with anything, creating unique blends like the Cuban dish called ropa vieja, or old clothes, tortillas, pastries. Rice is unsurpassed with a bit of paprika, garlic and rosemary. It is easy to make. Fry the garlic and rosemary in a clay pot, then add the rice. Then, the stewed meat and potatoes cut in thin slices. Then cover it all with slices of ripe tomato and a sprig of rosemary. The finishing touch will come in the oven, from which it will come out steaming. You can serve with ali-oli, which is garlic mayonnaise. Bon appetit on these chilly days and nights.
