I cooked up a batch of brown and forbidden rice and combined the chili and rice into bowls to freeze for later. I also wanted to try it with polenta. So I cooked up some polenta (corn grits): 1/4 cup dry + about 2/3 cups water. I heated that in the microwave for 2 minutes then let it sit for about 10 minutes. it got nice and thick. I divided it into 2 servings with the chili.
I harvested a bunch of collards and kale from the garden. Here are four large bags ready to freeze.
I cooked up some greens, onion and tomato for a daily serving in my breakfast (or elsewhere) next week. and froze those in individual servings.

What is 'forbidden' rice? Something really special, so much so that if you told me, you'd have to kill me? =;-}
Forbidden rice is delicious and also nutritious. As what I know, it is also called as super food that helps boost our health and rich in antioxidants that helps fights against cancer, heart problem, etc.
HI Pat, it's black rice. it's just kind of fun to eat because it's unusual and it tastes good, but so does brown rice. Here's a link describing it:
