Name: Confetti Jasmine Rice
Ingredients: 2 c Jasmine rice; 3 c Water; 1/4 c Diced red onion; 1 1/2 ts Fresh ginger root, minced; 1 ts Fresh garlic, minced; 1 1/4 ts Salt; 1 1/2 ts Fresh lemongrass, finely minced; 1 Kaffir lime leaf, fresh or frozen; 2 tb Carrot, very finely minced; 2 tb Red pepper, very finely minced; 3 tb Green onion, very finely minced

We tend to be far more ungenerous in forgiving others than God is in forgiving us. If God were to be as reluctant to forgive as we are in forgiving those who sin against us, we would be in serious trouble. As Christians we are forgiven people. We are likewise called to be forgiving people. Jesus clearly sets forth an ethic of charity in His teaching and in His behavior with those who wrong us. An unwillingness to forgive clearly has no place in the kingdom, and may in fact signal that such a one has not experienced the initial forgiveness of God in his or her life.

INSTRUCTIONS

RICE
CONFETTI
1. To cook in a rice cooker: Rinse the rice in a strainer until the water
runs clear. Drain well, then place it in the rice cooker with all the
remaining rice ingredients. Stir well, cover and steam until tender, per
manufacturer's directions.
2. After rice is cooked, fluff with a fork, then gently fold in the
confetti ingredients.
3. To cook without a rice cooker: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rinse the
rice in a strainer until the water runs clear. Shake rice and drain well.
4. Place rice in a large, ovenproof saucepan with remaining rice
ingredients. Place pan over high heat and bring to a boil, stir. Quickly
cover pan with a piece of foil and a tight-fitting lid.
5. Place in a preheated oven and cook for 15 minutes. After rice is cooked,
immediately remove the lid and foil. Fluff with a fork, then gently fold in
the confetti ingredients. Serve immediately.
Chef's Notes: *Fresh lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves can be found at
Southeast Asian grocers. If purchasing a package of fresh lime leaves, use
what you need and store the rest in the freezer.
*This dish is a nice fat-free and vegetarian accompaniment to simply
steamed vegetables, or grilled fish or chicken.
*Leftover jasmine rice makes a great fried rice. Simply dice up some
veggies and maybe a little leftover meat or chicken. Quickly sauté them in
a frying pan or wok with the leftover rice, then stir in some bamboo shoots
and bean sprouts if desired. Whisk a little soy sauce with an egg or two
and stir-fry into the rice, cooking just until the egg coats the rice and
is cooked through and the rice is hot.
