BEEF AND RICE WITH VEGGIES

Recipe video above. Ground beef cooked with seasoned rice and plenty of veggies - kind of like a pilaf or fried rice! This dish is not spicy - the cayenne pepper just adds a touch of warmth, not spiciness.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion (, diced (any type))
1 red capsicum / bell pepper (, diced (large))
2 garlic cloves (, minced)
500g (1 lb) ground beef (mince) (, lean)
2 1/2 tbsp tomato paste
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp EACH cumin, black pepper
1 tsp each onion powder, dried oregano (or other herb of choice)
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper ((optional))
1 dried bay leaf
1 1/4 cups (225g) long grain white rice (, uncooked (Note 1))
2 cups (500 ml) beef broth (, low sodium)
2 cups (300g) diced frozen veggies (, I used corn, pea, carrot mix (Note 2))
3 big handfuls baby spinach (~ 90g/3 oz) (, or other leafy greens (Note 3))

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large pot over high heat. Add onion, capsicum and garlic. Cook for 1 minute.
  • Add beef, cook until brown, breaking it up as you go.
  • Add tomato paste, salt, pepper, onion powder, oregano, cumin and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
  • Turn heat down to medium. Add rice and beef broth, mix well. Add frozen veggies and bay leaf, then stir.
  • Place lid on, lower heat to medium low so it's simmering gently. Cook for 12 - 15 minutes (might even take longer) until all liquid is absorbed (tilt pot to check). The rice should be just cooked, but will be wet.
  • Remove from heat. Quickly toss spinach on top of the rice and put the lid back on. Leave to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Fluff rice and mix through wilted spinach with a fork. Adjust salt if desired. Serve!

SPICY RICE NOODLES WITH CRISPY TOFU AND SPINACH



Spicy Rice Noodles With Crispy Tofu and Spinach image

Herby noodles, chile oil and crisp tofu come together in this spicy, filling bowl that will disappear before you know it. But the component parts are just as valuable on their own: Make crisp baked tofu once, and you may never pan-fry cubes again. Make a scallion-basil paste on your cutting board, and forget about pesto from the food processor. And make a little extra spicy sesame oil, so that you can swirl it into scrambled eggs and smashed cucumber salads.

Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, noodles, main course

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

12 to 14 ounces firm tofu
1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
8 ounces wide rice noodles
3 tablespoons sesame oil
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1 (1-inch) piece of ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon red-pepper flakes, to taste
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, plus more for garnish (optional)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup roughly chopped basil, packed
3 large or 4 small scallions, roughly chopped
3 cups baby spinach, packed
1/2 lime
Toasted sesame oil, for drizzling (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. As the oven heats, press the tofu (you can do this by sandwiching the block in paper towels and placing a cutting board, plus a heavy pot, can or book on top).
  • Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch cubes and place in a medium bowl. Add the salt and oils, and toss to combine.
  • Sprinkle the cornstarch, panko and sesame seeds, if using, and toss gently so the tofu cubes are coated.
  • Spread on the prepared sheet and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping once, until golden-brown and crisp.
  • While the tofu bakes, start the noodles: Put the dry rice noodles in a big, wide bowl. Fill a kettle, bring the water to a boil, and pour the boiling water over the noodles to cover. Set aside for 6 to 10 minutes, until the noodles are fully rehydrated and soft. (Time may vary by brand.) Then drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again. Transfer noodles to a large bowl.
  • As the noodles soak, prepare the spicy sesame oil: In a small pot, combine sesame oil, peanut oil, garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes and sesame seeds. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook on the lowest heat for 10 to 12 minutes, until the garlic slices turn golden.
  • Meanwhile, on your cutting board, make a small mound with the teaspoon of salt. Place the basil and the scallions on top, and use your knife to furiously chop and smash until you have a rough paste.
  • Mix the basil paste into the bowl of rice noodles. Pile the baby spinach on top. Pour at least half of the hot oil immediately over the spinach, tossing so that the heat wilts the leaves slightly. Then add the juice of the 1/2 lime and toss to combine. Taste for salt and lime juice, and add more oil as you see fit.
  • Arrange the tofu on top of the noodles, or mix them in so that the cubes hide like little treasures. For extra flair, garnish with additional sesame seeds and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil.

TURKISH SPINACH WITH TOMATOES AND RICE



Turkish Spinach with Tomatoes and Rice image

Not every tradition allows rice during Passover; in this fragrant dish there's just enough of it to add substance to the vegetables. Some Sephardic Jews have traditionally allowed rice during Passover, whereas many Ashkenazi Jews do not. There isn't much of it in this Turkish spinach dish, adapted from a recipe in Clifford A. Wright's "A Mediterranean Feast," just enough to add substance to the vegetables.

Categories     dinner, weekday, soups and stews, appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds spinach, stemmed and washed in 2 changes water, or 1 pound baby spinach
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can diced tomatoes in juice or, in season, 1 1/4 pound tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 cup chicken stock, vegetable stock, garlic broth or water
2 to 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (to taste)
3 tablespoons long grain or basmati rice, rinsed in several changes of water, or 1/2 cup cooked brown rice
Salt to taste
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 to 1 teaspoon sugar (to taste)

Steps:

  • Wash the spinach and, working in batches if necessary, steam for about 2 minutes above an inch of boiling water, just until wilted. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, lidded skillet or casserole and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until it begins to sizzle and smell fragrant, about 30 seconds, and stir in the tomatoes. Cook, stirring often, for 5 to 10 minutes, until the tomatoes have cooked down slightly. Add the stock or water, the lemon juice, rice, salt, paprika, cinnamon, sugar and steamed spinach and bring to a simmer.
  • Cover, turn the heat to low and simmer 15 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until the mixture has the consistency of a thick stew, about 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot or warm.
