Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup yellow split peas
4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
⅓ cup basmati rice

2 tablespoons olive oil

SPRING CARROTS WITH YELLOW RICE



Spring Carrots With Yellow Rice image

This is a tasty and easy side dish that is also pretty. The julienne carrots are original to the recipe but I use frozen round cut carrots that are still in my freezer from last summer's garden (we had a lot of carrots!) and they work perfectly. That pretty much eliminates all prep time. It reads like a lot of steps but it isn't and goes quickly. I also cut way down on the butter and still get good results and I also find that the given cooking times for the veggies is overlong for my taste. I got this from Epicurious.

Make and share this Qaubuli Palau (Yellow Rice With Carrots and Ground Beef) recipe from Food.com.

Provided by UmmBinat

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb basmati rice
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
salt
pepper
2 large carrots
1/4 cup raisins
2 teaspoons garam masala (Recipe #224763) or 2 teaspoons bahrat mixed spice (Baharat Spice Blend)
1/4 teaspoon saffron

Steps:

  • Rinse the rice several times in cold water until the water runs clear. Add fresh water and leave the rice to soak for at least half an hour.
  • Preheat oven to 325.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan and add the onions; stir and cook until brown. Remove the onions and set them aside.
  • Add ground beef to the hot oil. Brown the meat. Add one cup of water and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover and simmer until the meat is tender. After the meat is cooked, remove it from the broth and set it on a plate.
  • Grind the onions to a pulp and add them to the meat broth.
  • Wash and peel the carrots and cut into pieces the size of matchsticks. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small pan and add the carrots. Cook gently until the carrots are lightly browned and tender (adding a little water, which will evaporate during cooking). Add the raisins and cook gently until they begin to swell. Remove the raisins and carrots from oil.
  • Bring 5 cups of water to a boil in a pot and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the rinsed rice to the boiling water. Parboil for 2 to 3 minutes, then drain in a large sieve.
  • Pour the rice into a large casserole and sprinkle with garam masala and saffron.
  • Measure ¾ cup of the reserved meat juices and pour over the rice, stirring once. Place the cooked meat on one side of the pan and the carrots and raisins on the other adding the reserved oil cook for 25 minutes in the preheated oven.
  • To serve, remove the carrots and raisins and set aside. Place the rice on a serving platter. Top the rice with the meat, then garnish with the carrots and raisins.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice: Long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine rice, is best for this recipe. It will cook evenly and won't become mushy.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly: This will remove the starch and help the rice cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the rice. Use a broth that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the rice will not cook evenly.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: This will allow the rice to absorb all of the flavors and become fluffy.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Yellow rice and carrots is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy.
