MH Long Grain & Wild Rice Pilaf
Posted: Sat Dec 26, 2015 8:31 am
Dec 24th I was on duty
so I deceided for a special dinner (to me).
A Mountain House Long Grain & Wild Rice Pilaf.
I only knew "pilafs" from MREs before so I was curious.
Inside was the oxygen absorber and some Pamesan cheese, but no marking up to where to fill with the hot water and I hadn´t a measuring cup with me as, I guess, most outdoor guys either.
After reconstitution with ~2 cups of boiling water and let it sit for more than 15 min I got this:
I had to reconstituted it longer than the requested 8 min as I had to add some more water later on. That what I guessed 2 cups would be wasn´t enough and the rice grains were still "hard".
For better display, I pour it on a plate, gave the Parmesan cheese on
So how was it?
The rice grains where still a little bit too solide, even after 15 min of soaking with some extra of boiling water but they were great to me for a ration! After adding some extra salt, it got a nice "rice dish" taste, the cheese made it even better.
I would like to have it again, great job done MH and I had a special Christmas dinner
