PERUVIAN STYLE CORIANDER RICE WITH PEAS
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.

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.

Goes great with Huancaina sauce and salsa Criolla.

JAMAICAN RICE WITH "PEAS"
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.

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients in a big pot (cast-iron would be best). Add water until up to 2.5 cm above the rice.

- 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.
