Maple Mania
From the changing leaves to the nutty aroma, maple signifies the changing seasons. While it may seem strange to mix this sweet sap with rice, no one would bat an eye when considering the pairings with the other fall ingredients – butternut squash, apple, rosemary. Think of Minute® Rice as the fluffy, protein-packed canvas for masterpiece that is your meal. Our Basmati Rice will not only absorb all the flavors of your dish but also leave you feeling satisfied!
Choose the maple syrup – golden, amber, dark or very dark– with the flavor intensity you’re looking for as darkest, most mature syrup will have the strongest maple flavor. Store opened syrup in the fridge. If you are a fair-weathered — or fall weathered — friend of maple, opt for a glass bottle as they last a couple years. On the other hand, plastic bottles can be stored for 4 months maximum.
