Kitty said: Yes.Looking for a recipe for a rice dish hubby had in germany?-I try seach this on internet but no results found.Maybe this is a stupid question.
Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(Looking for a recipe for a rice dish hubby had in germany?),it will help you,my kids.

My husband was stationed in Germany and he had a rice dish that sounds to me like confetti rice but he said it was like a salad. just wondering if anyone knew what it was called and had a recipe

Answer:
Hi there, I am German and would like to help you; however, I'd have to know where in Germany he was stationed. You see, just like here in the US, people like to prepare either their ethnic food or food that is common for the area they live in. Did he tell you if it was a commonly prepared dish in the area he was in? Was it on many menues in restaurants or was it served to him in a private setting? Only then will you be able to get the surprise you're hoping to bring to the table. I know, this won't help you much at this point but if you get those answers from him, I'll gladly research it for you. Let me tell you, I think it is awesome what you are trying to do, as most women I know would be jealous and think it's something he ate with another woman while over there. Hope your husband knows what a gem he has in you. Oh, and one more thing, have you tried going to Yahoo Germany? Your chances to get the original recipe may be much greater there.
Good luck and you're doing the right thing... MSB :)
Is it risotto or taboule? Is it german food?

Risotto with vegetables

For Dry "frying"
1 large onion chopped
2 cloves garlic crushed
1/2 pint stock

For the risotto
8 oz arborio or risotto rice (I used brown)
3/4 pint stock vegetarian "chicken" flavour
A few strands of saffron
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
A few sprigs of oregano and thyme chopped (or use dried to taste)
4 oz thin green beans
4 oz baby asparagus
3 oz shelled peas
2-3 small courgettes (zucchini)sliced
1 level tbspn of shaved fat free parmesan

Put the onion and garlic in a heavy-based frying pan with the stock.Cover
bring to boil and boil for 5 - 10 mins.Uncover reduce the heat and simmer
for about 30 mins stirring occasionally.The onion should be tender golden
and syrupy.
Stir the rice into the onions and cook gently for 2 mins.Add some of the
stock with the saffron seasoning and herbs.Bring to the boil then reduce
the heat to a bare simmer. Cook the risotto very gently stirring and adding
more stock as needed.
Meanwhile trim the green beans and asparagus.Drop them with the peas and
sliced zucchini into boiling water and blanch for 1 - 2 mins.Drain well and
then stir the drained vegetables into the risotto together with a little
stock.
Continue cooking very gently until riceis tender and all the liquid has
been absorbed.Remove from the heat and season with salt and black pepper.
Serve sprinkled with the fatfree parmesan cheese.

Taboule
Ingredients for 8 people :
- 250 gr [1/2 lb] semolina (couscous)
- the juice of 2 lemons
- 2 small white onions
- 3 tomatoes, medium size
- 1/2 cucumber
- 5 Tbspoons tomatoe juice
- 5 Tbspoons olive oil
- 20 leaves of fresh mint
- 30 cl [11 fl oz] warm water
- salt & pepper

Recipe :

1- Pour the semolina in a very large bowl (volume will increase a lot). Add half lemon juice, tomatoe juice, 3 spoons olive oil, salt, pepper and half water on it ; mix well with a fork. You now have to let it rise for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally and break all lumps formed.
2- In the meantime, prepare all the vegetables : peel and mince the onions ; peel the cucumber, wash the tomatoes, wash and seed the greenpepper and cut them all in very small cubes.
3- Add the left water and lemon juice on semolina ; wait for another 20 minutes, still stirring and breaking lumps from time to time ; then add all vegetables, mix everything well and leave in fridge until serving.
4- When ready to serve, stir well to break all lumps if any left. Semolina must not be sticky or compact , and the mixture should be light. Add the left 2 spoons of olive oil, pepper, and adjust salt if needed. Finally wash and thinly cut the mint leaves and add them to the Taboulé. Mix again.

Serve in an ear dish or a rib dish and decorate with a few plain leaves of fresh mint if you have some left.


I'm not sure if this is exactly what you wanted but I hope it helps.
