Peruvian Style Coriander Rice With Peas image

Loosely adapted from the well-known Peruvian dish, Arroz con Pato, which is very similar to the ubiquitous Spanish Arroz con Pollo, but without the tomatoes. It's also a little spicier, and has thePeruvian addition of a dark beer as part of the liquid(you can sub veg. broth). Peruvian food is unique and delicious-- a cultural mix of native Indian, Spanish, African, Italian, Chinese and, more recently, Japanese cooking. From Bryanna's book "20 Minutes to Dinner", and posted on VeganFeastKitchen.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

cooking spray
1 large onion, minced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons minced minced fresh pickled canned hot peppers (such as aji amarillo, Peruvian yellow hot peppers)
6 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro (or more, or use Italian parsley instead)
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups white basmati rice (I use whole wheat basmati- or converted rice)
2 cups dark beer (or ale, or stout or nonalcoholic beer, or substitute veg. stock)
1 cup boiling water (with chicken-style vegan bouillon cubes, powder or paste for 3 cups broth-I use homemade veg. broth)
1 cup frozen peas, thawed and drained
fresh ground black pepper
2 cups chinese vegetarian roast duck, rinsed, drained and cut into smaller chunks (mun chai'ya)
2 cups vegan chicken, strips browned in a non-stick pan (or reconstituted Soy Curls)
2 cups seitan (or commercial savory baked tofu or tempeh or other poultry substitute, cut into cubes and browned in)
1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas, rinsed and drained (1 can)
cooked corn, drained (1 can)

Steps:

  • In a large heavy skillet or saute pan with a tight lid (can be non-stick), sprayed with oil, saute the onion, bell peppers, hot peppers, and garlic until the onion begins to brown a bit. Add water a tablespoon at a time to keep them from sticking, as needed.
  • Add the cilantro, coriander, and cumin, and stir-fry for a minute.
  • Add the raw rice and stir-fry briefly.
  • Pour in the beer and the hot water with the bouillon, and the peas, with pepper to taste, plus your Protein choice and any Optional addition you might be using.
  • Bring to a boil, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes(longer for whole wheat basmati-about 45 mins), or until the rice is done.
  • Toss ingredients and taste for salt and pepper.

This recipe is a bit too time-consuming. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This rice dish is a bit too dry. I think I'll add some more broth next time.

I'm not sure if I like the coriander in this dish. It's a bit too overpowering for my taste.

This rice dish is a bit bland. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili pepper next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rice turned out mushy. I think I might have added too much water.

This rice dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The peas are hidden in the rice and they're not too noticeable.

This rice dish is a great way to use up leftover rice. It's also a great side dish for chicken or fish.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe because I'm not a big fan of coriander, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors were subtle and well-balanced.
