Basmati Rice Pilaf With Peas image

This is from the show Throwdown with Bobby Flay, Episode: Chicken Tikka Masala. I posted this to go with the Masala Sauce(Bobby Flay), which I posted separately. I am trying to replicate a recipe I tried up in Conn. Enjoy!

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups basmati rice
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 teaspoons black mustard seeds (or yellow if that's all you have)
1/2 cup finely diced yellow onion
6 cardamom pods
4 whole cloves
1 (3 inch) cinnamon sticks
2 1/4 cups simmering water
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
3/4 cup frozen green pea

Steps:

  • Put the rice in a mesh strainer and rinse with cold water several times. Set aside and let drain.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the mustard seeds and cook until they just begin to pop, about 20 seconds. Add the onion and saute until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, rice, the simmering water, salt, pepper and lime juice, and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, and cook until liquid is nearly absorbed, about 10 minutes Fold in the peas, then over, reduce heat to low, and cook 8 to 10 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes, uncovered.
  • Remove and discard the cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon and fluff with a fork.
  • Transfer the pilaf to a serving dish and serve.
