PERUVIAN STYLE CORIANDER RICE WITH PEAS



Peruvian Style Coriander Rice With Peas image

Loosely adapted from the well-known Peruvian dish, Arroz con Pato, which is very similar to the ubiquitous Spanish Arroz con Pollo, but without the tomatoes. It's also a little spicier, and has thePeruvian addition of a dark beer as part of the liquid(you can sub veg. broth). Peruvian food is unique and delicious-- a cultural mix of native Indian, Spanish, African, Italian, Chinese and, more recently, Japanese cooking. From Bryanna's book "20 Minutes to Dinner", and posted on VeganFeastKitchen.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

cooking spray
1 large onion, minced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons minced minced fresh pickled canned hot peppers (such as aji amarillo, Peruvian yellow hot peppers)
6 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro (or more, or use Italian parsley instead)
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups white basmati rice (I use whole wheat basmati- or converted rice)
2 cups dark beer (or ale, or stout or nonalcoholic beer, or substitute veg. stock)
1 cup boiling water (with chicken-style vegan bouillon cubes, powder or paste for 3 cups broth-I use homemade veg. broth)
1 cup frozen peas, thawed and drained
fresh ground black pepper
2 cups chinese vegetarian roast duck, rinsed, drained and cut into smaller chunks (mun chai'ya)
2 cups vegan chicken, strips browned in a non-stick pan (or reconstituted Soy Curls)
2 cups seitan (or commercial savory baked tofu or tempeh or other poultry substitute, cut into cubes and browned in)
1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas, rinsed and drained (1 can)
cooked corn, drained (1 can)

Steps:

  • In a large heavy skillet or saute pan with a tight lid (can be non-stick), sprayed with oil, saute the onion, bell peppers, hot peppers, and garlic until the onion begins to brown a bit. Add water a tablespoon at a time to keep them from sticking, as needed.
  • Add the cilantro, coriander, and cumin, and stir-fry for a minute.
  • Add the raw rice and stir-fry briefly.
  • Pour in the beer and the hot water with the bouillon, and the peas, with pepper to taste, plus your Protein choice and any Optional addition you might be using.
  • Bring to a boil, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes(longer for whole wheat basmati-about 45 mins), or until the rice is done.
  • Toss ingredients and taste for salt and pepper.

BASMATI RICE WITH CASHEWS, PEAS AND FRESH CORIANDER



Basmati Rice With Cashews, Peas and Fresh Coriander image

A quick to prepare rice dish, adapted from a recipe on one the cards in international culinary celebrity Kurma Dasa's 52 card set 'Quick Vegetarian recipes you can prepare in a hurry'. It is important to use pans with tight-fitting lids for this recipe. If you are not overly fond of peas or spinach, substitute them with a vegetable you prefer. But the green of the vegetables in this dish does contrast most attractively with the yellowish rice and the cashews.

Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 3/4 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
3 tablespoons ghee or 3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon yellow asafoetida powder (see notes below)
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups basmati rice
1 cup peas
2 cups baby spinach leaves, chopped
1 cup toasted cashews
1/4 cup coriander leaves, chopped
extra coriander leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a small pan over a medium heat, bring the water to the boil; add the salt and turmeric; reduce to a simmer and cover tightly.
  • In a larger - preferably heavy-based - pan, over a medium heat, heat the ghee or oil; add the yellow asafetida powder and chopped onion and stir to combine for 1-2 minutes, add the rice and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until the rice becomes whitish in colour.
  • Carefully pour the simmering water into the pan containing the rice, stir briefly, and if the peas you are using are fresh, add them now; increase the heat so that the water is again boiling, then reduce to a very low heat and cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Simmer the rice for 15-20 minutes or until the water has been absorbed by the rice and the rice is tender and flaky; if you are using frozen peas, add them 5 minutes before the end of this stage of the cooking; stir through the rice quickly, and replace the lid as soon as you can.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and leave it covered and undisturbed for 5 minutes to allow the grains to firm up.
  • Fold in the cashews, chopped baby spinach leaves and chopped coriander leaves, and stir well to combine the ingredients.
  • Serve hot, garnished with the remaining herbs.
  • NOTES: (i) I have suggested adding the chopped baby spinach leaves in step six, as baby spinach leaves wilt very quickly once they come into contact with something like hot rice. If you would like your spinach leaves not just wilted but cooked, add them when adding the frozen peas towards the end of the cooking time in step four. (ii) The Zaar Kitchen Dictionary suggests that either garlic powder or onion powder are suitable substitutions for yellow asafetida powder.

  • Selecting the Right Rice: Choose long-grain rice varieties like Basmati or Jasmine rice for fluffy and separate grains.
  • Rinsing the Rice: Rinse the rice thoroughly to remove starch and impurities, resulting in fluffier and less sticky rice.
  • Using Fresh Spices: Freshly ground coriander seeds impart a more vibrant and aromatic flavor compared to pre-ground options.
  • Sautéing the Spices: Sautéing the coriander seeds in hot oil releases their flavors and enhances the overall taste of the rice.
  • Measuring the Water: Use the correct ratio of water to rice (typically 1:1.5) to achieve perfectly cooked rice.
  • Covering the Pot: Keep the pot covered during cooking to allow the rice to steam and cook evenly.
  • Fluffing the Rice: After cooking, fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains and prevent clumping.
  • Garnishing: Enhance the presentation by garnishing the rice with fresh coriander leaves, toasted nuts, or fried onions.
