    A guy that cooks, weird to some, I know, but at least I know how to. Anyway I made this recipe last shabbos and it was awsome and I thought I would share. I made this to help use some of the rice I bought at shoprite when I was in NY/NJ area( I dont know what to do with all of it).

    You need. 1 package, or more as desired of sliced pastrami

    1 box Shoprite brand chicken flavored rice

    1 onion

    Grape Jelly, Brown Mustard, Brown Sugar

    1st: Cook the rice as directed

    -Saute’ onion and add to rice when finished.

    Meanwhile boil grape jelly, brown sugar, and mustard together(need to mess around with the measurements to your liking), set aside.

    – Cut the pastrami into small pieces and Saute the pastrami for a few minutes(dont over do it)and then add to the jelly mixture and boil for a few minutes.

    Keep warm on blech or however you keep things warm

    TO serve, scoop rice on to plate and top with pastrami and gravy(juices). Enjoy.

    It actually sounded interesting to me, though i would prefer to know what the proportions should be for the sauce.

    oomis, it should be mostly grape jelly(like 3/4 cup) and about 1/3-1/3 cup brown sugar(depending on how sweet you want it). The brown mustard(I used spicy) just gives it a little kick and evens out the sweetness. I just squeezed the bottle in the mixture a couple of times(not too much). They next time I make it I will Bli Neder try to figure out the measurements.

    sounds interesting. I would probably prefer it with apricot jam.

    Thanks Ima, it is. OTB, let me know how that turns out if you try it. It sounds a little sweet to me. The brown mustard kind of tones down the grape jelly(its still sweet) but apricot has a distinct taste, but it is still worth trying.

    Does it have to be chicken flavored rice because I cant find any. Could I use brown rice and add chicken flavor soup powder? And how much is a box of rice? I would like to make it for shabbos.

    can i just say… Eeeeeew! impressive cooking for a guy tho. whyja hafta sautee the pastrami? wouldnt that just dry it out..? ur experimental recipe reminds me of one that is similar but doesnt creep me out: 1 can jellied cranberry sauce, 1 can ketchup, meatballs: (abridged version for men) 1-buy meat 2-roll into balls

    i think that would be alot more apetizing served over rice than something that s/o wouldnt know wat it was if served to them.

    or: heated up mustard and brown sugar is an awesome sauce- just please dont chop up the pastrami slices

    I got it — but it’s not particularly funny because people don’t commonly give their kids similar sounding names.

    Nachas, It does not have to be chicken flavored. That is just what I made it with and it was really good so thats what I recommend, but you can use any kind of Rice. The box cost $1.09.

    s2021, its really good. I had to saute the pastrami (not too much) to let it get slightly crisp(so it was kind of taste candied). It softens up on the blech. My dad tried some cold and thought it was going to be horrible but was surprised on Shabbos at how delicious it was.

    True, but her name is not truly Eeees… it’s simply a nickname I have for her. I don’t know of many people who would choose “Eeeew” as a nickname for a loved one.

    Can someone please explain how you’re allowed to warm up anything with a sauce on Shabbos? I thought only dry (Yavesh) things can be warmed.

    ergo number 2

    the very unusual circumstance adds another facet to the joke

    i didnt realize i was so brilliant (subconsciously anyway)

    well my wife is the bishul expert in my family, not me

    but i thought you could leave the sauce on the blech from before Shabbos, but not return it.

    I think people are talking about a dish that is hot and placed on the blech before Shabbos begins and eaten on Shabbos night.

    I was talking about putting it on Before Shabbos for the evening seudah. Some people say you can use the “un”blech and place food with liquid on them on Shabbos. I know many poskim do not permit these. Personally, I do not hold by them and they seem to be huge loophole for permitting this type of activity.

    Add a cup of really cheap bourbon, but tell everyone that you added two cups of really expensive scotch. No one will be able to taste the difference.
