Orange-Cardamom Brown Rice With Peas (Vegan) image

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.
