Well, I have one more review and giveaway for you all today. This is something that was very new to me so please bear with me:)
I was offered to do a review with Nakano Rice Vinegar. I am always game on trying new products and tasting new foods. We use vinegar in our house, mixed with oil, for salad dressing, but that is about it. So you will understand that this was a new experience. For my review, I was sent the Nakano Rice Vinegar Basil and Oregano flavored. These are rice vinegars that are flavored with different things. Mine was the Basil and Oregano but they also have flavors like Roasted Garlic, Red Pepper, and Balsamic Blend, along with others.
Well, since this was a new experience, I tried one of the recipes that was in the booklet they included in the package. I tested the Penne Pasta with Tomatoes and Feta Cheese. Except I did not have any Feta Cheese so it was just Penne Pasta with tomatoes") There were a couple other recipes in the booklet that sounded good too that I am sure we will be trying as well.
So, I cooked the pasta as the recipe said, and while it was cooking I was mixing up my other ingredients. The tomatoes, garlic, olives, basil(which I did not put in as much as the recipe called for since I was using a vinegar that had Basil floating in it), and the cheese would have been done too, but I didn't have any. Once the pasta was done cooking, I drained it and put it back in the pan. Then I mixed all the ingredients together. I gotta tell you, doesn't this look interesting?
I had also made tuna fish to go with my meal. The vinegar smell was kind of strong but I am not sure if it is because of the added flavor or because it is rice vinegar. I just know my regular vinegar doesn't smell this strong. I think the taste was pretty good. I would probably enjoy the recipe more with one of the other vinegar flavors. This was not the one called for but it was the one they sent me in my package for review. And none of the recipes called for this vinegar. So I improvised with the one I had. I did also get a coupon in my booklet so I will be using it to purchase one of the other flavors. Anyways, the taste was good and I am looking forward to trying more of the flavors. The bottle is very easy to use and has a top that can be easily used to splash the vinegar on foods. I also checked when I was at the store recently and the vinegar bottles were only a 1.50! Which means they would only be .50 with my coupon! That is not expensive at all.
One of the uses they suggest for this is splashing it on your salads. I am a big salad eater so I think this is something I will try. And if you are someone who uses vinegar a lot, you will probably enjoy this very much.
