Trying to figure out a fabulous side dish for my Crusted Pork Tenderloin, and I remembered my amazing smoked paprika powder!
This Thai scented rice was rocked by this spice, along with some gorgeous mushrooms to be a perfect accompaniment for this special loin.
I served peas alongside this last night, but you may do what it is you like when it comes to mixing and matching…
…I just want to be sure you have the knowledge to make this & experiment more.

great job girl. Jus wondering if it would be better if you were to saute the mushrooms and fold them in rather then boil them? thanks

Thank you so much, Miller!
Absolutely, it would be better & tastier. No doubt about it.
I made this as a side dish for my Crusted Pork Loin, and I guess my viewers don’t see that I mention I got home very late from coaching, and need dinner in a flash! LOL…
So, yes, by all means, sautee them with onions & garlic too! LOL
Thanks for coming by and sharing, Miller! You rock!
