With the holiday season fast approaching, it’s time to start sending out invites, planning menus and making a short list of your best recipes. One you might want to ditch? That stodgy breadcrumb stuffing that’s so thick you can scoop it like ice cream! This year, update your holiday menu with rice stuffing that’s more flavorful, fluffier and easier to make than your usual one.
A recipe you can adapt to perfectly accent the star of the show — be it turkey, chicken, duck, or even roast squash — rice stuffing offers flexibility without the blandness common in many breadcrumb-based recipes.
Once you breakup with breadcrumbs, you’ll discover a world of stuffing possibilities! Delve into Success® Rice’s tasty array of products, and you’ll find that stuffing made with rice, quinoa or pearl couscous stands heads and shoulders above its bread-based cousins.
Unlike bread, which adds little to stuffing in the way of flavor or texture, Success® Rice products deliver exactly what your specific stuffing needs — be that the nutty chew of brown rice, the lightness of pearl couscous, or the fragrant aroma of basmati. Plus, if you’re looking for a gluten-free dish, there’s no quicker route to success than making quinoa stuffing with Success® Rice boil-in-bag tri-color quinoa.
For stuffing that shines — in a weeknight meal or the most important dinner of the year — trade ho-hum for yum, and switch breadcrumbs for Success® Rice! Explore stuffing alternatives with more flavor, better texture and more whole grains than breadcrumbs could ever hope to deliver, and you’ll wonder what took you so long to make the switch.
