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.

Time 55m

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.

KEEMA WITH PEAS AND RICE

Many versions of this minced meat recipe show up all-across India. Similar in style to chili, keema uses ground lamb (traditionally mutton) or beef that's slow simmered in fragrant spices and vegetables. We used garam masala and turmeric, but cardamom, cumin, coriander and cinnamon are also common additions.

Peruvian Arroz con Pollo (Peruvian Rice and Chicken) image

This is a Peruvian rice and chicken dish made with cilantro and a special Peruvian kick. It's very delicious, my Peruvian father-in-law said that mine was even better then his sister's - who is one of the best cooks in the family (besides my mother-in-law)! Goes great with Huancaina sauce and salsa Criolla.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut in half
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup vegetable oil, divided, or as needed
½ red onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ bunches cilantro leaves, lightly chopped
1 tablespoon aji amarillo chile paste
½ cup chicken broth
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 ½ cups water, or more as needed
2 cups uncooked white rice
1 (10 ounce) package frozen peas and carrots

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat with enough oil to coat the bottom. Brown chicken in the hot oil on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes total. Remove chicken onto a plate.
  • Pour more oil into the pan and add onion; saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in cilantro, chile paste, salt, and pepper and saute until cilantro turns dark green, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and deglaze, scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Bring to a light simmer; let simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture carefully to an electric blender and puree.
  • Heat more oil in the same pan over medium-high heat; saute bell pepper until soft, about 5 minutes. Return cilantro mixture to the pan and add chicken. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from the pan. Add water and rice, adding more water if it doesn't look like enough. Bring to a boil; place a lid on the pan, reduce heat to low, and cook until all liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, 20 to 40 minutes. Stir in peas and carrots and chicken and warm through, 5 to 10 minutes.

JAMAICAN RICE WITH "PEAS"



Jamaican Rice With

I found this recipe in a book in the library and it instantly appealed to me because of its unusual exotic flavour (coconut and chili). There is a little story behind its name: In Jamaica they say peas when they mean beans and therefore this dish is called rice with peas even though there are none in it.

Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

400 g long grain rice
800 ml coconut milk
500 g kidney beans
2 teaspoons chopped thyme
4 garlic cloves (squashed)
2 scallions (sliced)
1 small red chile

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients in a big pot (cast-iron would be best). Add water until up to 2.5 cm above the rice.
  • Bring to a boil slowly, using medium heat. Reduce to low heat and simmer for approximately 25 minutes until the rice is soft and has absorbed the liquid.
  • Remove the chili and spice the rice with thyme, pepper and salt.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh coriander, peas, and rice will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Rinse the rice: Rinsing the rice before cooking helps to remove the starch and prevent it from becoming sticky.
  • Cook the rice in a flavorful liquid: Using a flavorful liquid like chicken broth or vegetable broth will add extra flavor to the rice.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Overcooked rice will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Add the coriander and peas at the end of cooking: This will help to preserve their color and flavor.
  • Season to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste before serving.
