Rice and other grains

[serendipity_15]

So I currently have Trader Joe's Israeli couscous, Trader Joe's rice orzo pilaf mix and a box of risotto rice (I've used this risotto in paella in the past) in my pantry and I'm looking for some new recipes to try out. What are your favorite recipes for any one of these rice or grains? I'd prefer summer recipes since it's really hot and humid where

I'll be keeping an eye open for the Israeli couscous suggestions as I caved at the Bulk Barn and brought some home. :)

we make the israeli couscous with chicken broth and diced up veggies (leeks, onions, bell peppers, celery, etc) sooooo good.

my favorite Israeli couscous recipe...follow directions to make couscous then toss in a diced cucumber, diced tomato, finely chopped parsley (sometimes i will do spinach if i don't have any parsley, or sometimes i will do both)

toss it all with a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Its super simple but its my favorite thing to have around in the summer.
