[Sca-cooks] Beans and Rice

[Laureen Hart]

Isabella,
Do you use white rice, or brown rice?

This leads to the question - would they be using white or brown rice in period?
I have never considered this, and know next to nothing about rice in general.

What is the time period for the Neapolitan collection?

Thanks!

Randell

Greetings all!

What are some of your favorite period foods to cook at Pennsic?   Mine is a simple beans and rice.

Kidney Beans. Cook the kidney beans in pure water or in good broth; when they are cooked, get finely sliced onions and fry them in a pan with good oil and put these fried onions on top [of the beans] along with pepper, cinnamon and saffron; then let this sit a while on the hot coals; dish it up with good spices on top.
I also make a saffron rice for a base.   It's delicious and I make it a lot, even at home.
