Swiss steak served atop a mound of piping hot rice -- just one of the many ***** rice can be used to complement a main dish. This versatile food ***** thrift to the meal as well as its texture and mild flavor. Because ***** low in protein (although that which it contains is of good quality), vitamins and minerals, it's best to serve it with foods that supply these nutritive values. And that's easy to do, because rice goes so well with high-protein foods like eggs, meat, fish, poultry, milk and cheese, and with the vegetables and fruits that contain vitamins and minerals.
