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.

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.

  • microwave on high for 5 minutes 20 minutes at 1/2 power.

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Add some spice: This dish can be easily spiced up by adding some cayenne pepper, chili powder, or cumin. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or mint add a pop of color and flavor to this dish. They also help to brighten up the flavors of the oranges and peas.
