Adapted from a recipe I saw in ExtraVeganZa that I made a little richer and using ingredients in my pantry. I think any kind of brown rice will do.

Time 1h

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup brown basmati rice
1 cup water
1 tablespoon earth balance vegan margarine (butter or margarine if you're not vegan)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/2 tablespoons orange rind (recipe originally called for lemon)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 cup frozen peas

Steps:

  • If you're using dried orange or lemon rind like me, place 2 1/4 tsp dried rind and 6 3/4 teaspoons water in a bowl and let stand for 15 minutes to hydrate.
  • Bring the water to a boil. Add the salt, rind, Earth Balance, turmeric, and cardamom and mix well before adding the rice.
  • Make sure the rice is covered, then lower the heat to a simmer and loosely cover. Cook for 45-50 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all the water and steam and is soft and fluffy.
  • Mix the peas in with the cooked rice, cover and let sit for 5 minutes so they can absorb the steam.
  • Stir and serve.

VEGETABLE BROWN RICE



Vegetable Brown Rice image

Loaded with carrots, onions and peas, this rice makes a terrific side dish, but it can even stand on its own as a light main course. Raisins offer a slight sweetness, and pecans add a little crunch. --Denith Hull of Bethany, Oklahoma

ORANGE RICE WITH PEAS AND PEARL ONIONS



Orange Rice With Peas and Pearl Onions image

A sweet rice dish. I use Jasmati rice and make it so it's sticky, because we like it that way and because it's easier for my husband to eat. He has Cerebral Palsy and unless the rice sticks together..it will become airborne! I make rice in the microwave often because it's fast and easy and I can be using my stovetop for other things. After the rice was done I added frozen peas and pearl onions and put it all back in the microwave for three minutes with some margarine. You could, of course, cook the rice any way you like and use whatever your favorite rice is.

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4-1 cup uncooked rice
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 cup water
1 cup peas and pearl onions
2 tablespoons margarine

Steps:

  • mix together 3/4 or 1 cup of uncooked white rice with 1 cup orange juice and 1 cup water.
  • put in a microwave safe bowl.
  • cover with plastic wrap, leaving a corner turned back to vent.
  • microwave on high for 5 minutes 20 minutes at 1/2 power.
  • take the rice out, uncover carefully and fluff with a fork.
  • add in peas and onions and margarine, ( more or less according to taste).
  • if you use frozen peas and onions you need to heat again for about 3 min, covered so the peas don't explode all over the microwave. If you use canned, the heat from the rice will do the trick.
  • serve and take all compliments that come your way.
