Best Rice And Green Peas Recipes

JASMINE RICE WITH GREEN ONIONS, PEAS, AND LEMON

Steps:

• Combine 1 3/4 cups water, rice, and salt in large saucepan. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand covered 15 minutes. Fluff with fork. Cool.
• Cook peas in medium saucepan of boiling salted water 1 minute. Drain. Rinse under cold water. Drain.
• Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add all but 2 tablespoons green onions; sauté 30 seconds. Add rice and sauté until heated through, stirring to break pieces, about 4 minutes. Add peas, lemon juice, parsley, and lemon peel. Sauté 2 minutes to blend flavors. Transfer to serving bowl. Sprinkle with remaining green onions.

SHELLFISH AND CHICKEN PAELLA WITH SAFFRON RICE CHORIZO AND GREEN PEAS

Steps:

• For the aioli:
• Place the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, egg yolks, lemon juice and zest in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Slowly add the oil, drop by drop at first, until thickened. Season with salt and white pepper, to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the paella:
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the tomatoes in a small baking dish and drizzle with the honey, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and salt and pepper, and roast until soft. Set aside.
• Bring the chicken stock to a simmer in a medium saucepan and add a large pinch of saffron. Put about 1/2 cup of the stock in another saucepan, add the clams, and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook just until the clams open; remove the clams from the liquid and set aside, reserving the liquid.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a very large skillet or paella pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and add to the heated pan. Cook until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken pieces to a plate. Add the chorizo, onion and garlic and saute until chorizo has browned and the onions are translucent.
• Add the rice, about 7 1/2 cups of the chicken stock, the reserved clam liquid, and any juices from the chicken and bring to a simmer. Nestle the chicken in the rice and let cook, uncovered, until the rice is quite al dente, about 15 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer-the rice on the bottom of the pan should form a dark brown crispy crust by the end of the cooking time. If the stock is disappearing too quickly, just add a bit more of the remaining 2 cups.
• Add the mussels, shrimp, octopus, squid, and/or cuttlefish, and peas. Cook until the shrimp are pink and the mussels open. Add the lobster, clams and roasted tomatoes and heat briefly. At this point, you should still be able to see liquid bubbling gently; it will settle when you turn off the heat. Fold in the parsley and lemon aioli and mix until combined, season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• *RAW EGG WARNING
• Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs. Due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.

RICE PILAF WITH CARROT AND GREEN PEAS

Steps:

• 1. Wash and soak rice for 15 minutes and then drain water.
• 2. combine all ingredients in a rice cooker (or in microwave proof bowl) and cook the pilaf as you would cook rice. Its extremely simple, delicious and healthy.
• 3. Make sure to add just sufficient water (not more not less) so that the pilaf is dry and tender. I would add around 1 & 1/2 cups of water with 1 cup rice. However, you might go with the rice cooking instructions as this might vary.

BASMATI RICE WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND GREEN CHILES

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil over moderate heat in a 3-quart heavy saucepan until hot but not smoking, then cook white parts of scallions and mustard seeds, stirring frequently, until scallions are softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add water and salt and bring to a boil. Cook over low heat, covered, until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and fluff rice with a fork, then let stand, covered, 5 minutes.
• While rice is standing, heat remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook jalapeño and scallion greens, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 1 minute. Add snap peas and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Toss with rice and season with salt.

GREEN CABBAGE, PEAS AND CHICKEN CURRY ON BROWN BASMATI RICE

Steps:

• For brown rice: Follow the directions on the bag for either the brown Basmati rice or the long grain brown rice. Normally, it's 1 cup brown rice to 2 cups water, but I always use 21/2 cups water and keep the pot covered for 5 minutes after turning off the burner. Don't forget to add some salt to the rice. As for tomatoes, they're drying up by this time of year. You can use the equivalent of 1 cup chopped, canned tomatoes if you can't find any fresh, juicy tomatoes. Wash and chop the cabbage and set aside. Heat oil for 30 seconds on medium-high heat in a large, heavy-bottomed, shallow pan. Gently stir in tomatoes, turmeric, cumin, salt and any of the optional spices you choose to add. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes. When the oil separates from the tomatoes, you will know that the spices are cooked. Add the chicken strips and onion and stir well. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook for about 5 minutes, depending on the size of your strips. When they are just about cooked through, uncover and add the cabbage. Stir well and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. It's best to taste the cabbage at this stage, because the heat on stoves varies. If it's just slightly crunchy, then add the thawed peas and stir well. If not, cook for a few more minutes before stirring in the peas. Turn off heat.

GREEN RICE AND PEAS

Steps:

• Put the rice, stock and water in a pot, bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook 18 minutes. Put the peas in bowl to defrost while the rice cooks.
• Whisk together the lemon juice, garlic and extra-virgin olive oil; add to a blender with the basil, parsley and tarragon and puree.
• Fluff the rice with a fork and add to the bowl with the peas. Pour the dressing over the top and toss to combine; serve or chill.

Steps:

• Sauté finely minced onion on butter and when transparent add green peas and parsley leaves (it will be even better if you use baby onions).
• Add some water and cook until green peas are almost soft (skip this if you use canned green peas, just sauté onion a bit). At the moment peas are soft; all liquid must evaporate, but be careful not to burn green peas.
• Add some more butter and whole rice. Sauté it until rice become greasy with butter, than add water, salt and pepper. Usual measure of the manufacturer for cooking rice is 1:3 (rice: water), so do it as they say.
