Curried Lentil, Rice and Carrot Burgers image

I love the Indian spices in these burgers. The turmeric offers bonus antioxidant health benefits, but even without it, they're in abundance in this recipe, with all the carrots and ginger.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 40m

Yield 6 burgers.

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
1/3 cup finely diced onion
1 cup finely diced carrots
6 ounces mushrooms, sliced or finely chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons cumin seeds, lightly toasted and ground
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
Pinch of cayenne (or to taste)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup cooked brown rice
2 1/2 cups cooked brown lentils, drained
1 egg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a heavy ovenproof skillet and add the onion and carrot. Cook, stirring often, until just about tender, about 3 minutes, and add the mushrooms, ginger, turmeric, cumin, curry powder, mustard seeds and cayenne and a pinch of salt. Cook for another 3 minutes or so, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant and the spices aromatic. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl. Add the rice.
  • Purée the lentils with the egg and add to the vegetable and rice mixture. Stir together, season with salt and pepper, and shape into 6 patties.
  • Heat the ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and, working in batches if necessary, cook the patties for 2 minutes on one side, or until nicely browned. Carefully turn the patties over and place in the oven. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until the patties are lightly browned and don't fall apart. Remove from the heat and serve, with or without buns, chutney or ketchup and the works.

RICE PILAF WITH CARROT AND GREEN PEAS



Rice Pilaf with Carrot and Green Peas image

This is a quick and healthy rice recipe. I generally like to prepare this sometimes for dinner to things simple. Any chicken curry or other dishes like chilli chicken (I will post this recipe sometimes later when I prepare it), some lentils (I will post lentil recipes later too) will go with this.

Provided by Ruma Chak

Categories     Other Main Dishes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c aromatic rice
1/2 c diced carrot
1/2 c green peas
1 tsp ginger powder/paste/grated
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1 bay leaf
2 Tbsp butter
salt to taste
sufficient water to cook rice

Steps:

  • 1. Wash and soak rice for 15 minutes and then drain water.
  • 2. combine all ingredients in a rice cooker (or in microwave proof bowl) and cook the pilaf as you would cook rice. Its extremely simple, delicious and healthy.
  • 3. Make sure to add just sufficient water (not more not less) so that the pilaf is dry and tender. I would add around 1 & 1/2 cups of water with 1 cup rice. However, you might go with the rice cooking instructions as this might vary.

SPROUTED BROWN RICE BOWL WITH CARROT AND HIJIKI



Sprouted Brown Rice Bowl With Carrot and Hijiki image

Sprouting any grain increases its nutritional value by making its nutrients more bio-available, among them calcium. But it's the flavor and texture of this new sprout that have gotten me hooked. If you've been hard pressed to get your family to embrace brown rice, this may be the way to go. Julienne carrots with hijiki seaweed is a traditional Japanese combination. Here I've added some tofu to bulk up the protein. Hijiki is an excellent source of iodine, vitamin K, folate and magnesium; the seaweed is soaked and simmered before cooking with the carrot and aromatics.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 30m

Yield Serves three to four

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 ounce (about 1/2 cup) dried hijiki
1 tablespoon soy sauce, preferably tamari more to taste
2 teaspoons mirin
1 tablespoon peanut oil or canola oil
1/2 pound firm tofu, cut in 1/2-by-1-inch dominoes
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon shredded or minced ginger
1/2 pound (2 large) carrots, cut in 2- or 3-inch long julienne
Salt to taste optional
1 1/2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
3 cups cooked sprouted brown rice
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil

Steps:

  • Place the hijiki in a medium bowl, and cover with water. Soak 15 minutes, and drain. Place in a medium saucepan, and add just enough water to cover, along with 2 teaspoons of the soy sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer 15 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine the remaining soy sauce and mirin in a small bowl, and place within reach of your wok or pan. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water quickly evaporates from the pan. Swirl in the peanut or canola oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and then tilting the pan side to side. Add the tofu and stir-fry until lightly colored, one to two minutes. Add the ginger, and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds.
  • Add the carrots, and stir-fry for one minute until they begin to soften. Add the hijiki, soy sauce and mirin. Continue to stir-fry for another two to three minutes until the carrots are crisp-tender. Stir in the sesame oil and rice, and toss together for a minute or two, pressing the rice into the sides of the wok before scooping and stirring. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.

HAVIJ POLO (PERSIAN CARROT RICE)



Havij Polo (Persian Carrot Rice) image

Havij polo is a Persian favorite with carrots, rice, and meat. There are no "exotic" ingredients to buy. It is worth the trouble as my Iranian husband and my 2 kids love it, and they are very picky eaters. Iranians generally use more rice, but we like more carrots and less rice.

Provided by JENILEIGH

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 1h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 onion, thinly sliced
½ cup salted butter
1 pound cubed beef stew meat
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups grated carrots
2 cups water
3 tablespoons white sugar
2 cups uncooked long-grain rice
1 tablespoon butter, or as needed

Steps:

  • Saute onion in butter in a large skillet over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove onion to a bowl, leaving any excess butter in the skillet.
  • Sprinkle meat with cinnamon and salt; cook in the skillet in the remaining butter until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer meat to a small pot, leaving butter in the skillet. Add carrots to the skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove carrots to a bowl; set skillet aside.
  • Add water to the meat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove meat and mix with reserved onions. Pour 1 cup cooking water into the skillet used to cook the vegetables and meat. Add sugar; mix until completely dissolved. Set sauce aside.
  • While the meat is cooking, place rice in a colander and rinse several times with warm water to remove starch. Transfer to a bowl and soak for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Bring 6 cups salty water to a boil in a large saucepan. Drain rice and add to the boiling water. Boil, stirring occasionally to prevent grains from sticking together, until rice is no longer crunchy but still quite firm, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Butter the bottom of a large pot and top with several layers of rice, the meat-onion mixture, and carrots. Pour sauce over top. Cover the underside of the pot lid with a clean dish towel and place tightly on the pot to absorb moisture.
  • Cook over low heat until crunchy on the bottom, about 30 minutes, checking often near the end to prevent burning.

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

400 g flour (about 1.5 cups)
125 g sugar (about 1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon double-acting baking powder (non aluminum if possible)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger powder
2 tablespoons powdered milk (can replace this with fresh milk in equal volume to water below)
50 g raisins (about 1/4 cup)
50 g cashews (chopped, can be replaced with walnuts)
1 large carrot (about 1.5 cups when grated)
2 large eggs
80 ml corn oil (any oil ok about 1/3 cup)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons unsulphured molasses ('Blackstrap ')
125 ml water (about 1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Combine all dry ingredients and mix well with a fork.
  • Peel and finely grate carrot
  • Add all wet ingredients and carrots to dry mixture and stir with fork until well mixed.
  • Lightly oil the pan of rice cooker.
  • Pour cake batter in to the rice cooker.
  • Set rice cooker to 'slow' if you have that option, then press start (if you do not have slow that is ok).
  • Rice cooker may shut off after 5 minutes, allow for 5 minutes to cool down and restart. Most cookers will require at least 2 cooking cycles for cake to bake.
  • Check for finished cake by inserting toothpick - it will come out clean when inserted into the cake if cake is cooked completely.
  • Remove pan from cooker when finished and let cool in pan for 1 hour.
  • Invert pan over a plate larger than pan opening and allow cake to slide onto plate from pan.
  • Frost or sprinkle with powdered sugar as desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, young carrots. Avoid carrots that are too large or have blemishes.
  • Cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a food processor or grater, make sure to use the appropriate blade or attachment.
  • Cook the carrots until they are tender: This usually takes about 10-15 minutes. You can test the carrots by piercing them with a fork. If they are tender, they are done.
  • Season the carrots to taste: You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Serve the carrots hot or cold: Carrot rice can be served as a side dish, a main course, or a salad. It is also a great addition to soups and stews.

Conclusion:

Carrot rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a great way to use up leftover carrots, and it is also a healthy and affordable option. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
