Ingredients
- ⅓ cup (60 g) basmati rice
- 1 onion
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp honey (or use maple syrup to make it vegan)
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp cumin, ground
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cup (330 g) peas
- 1 oz (30 g) peanuts (deshelled)
- 1 oz (30 g) raisins
- 7 oz (200 g) tofu
- 1 ¼ cup (300 ml) vegetable broth
- 3 tbsp lemon juice (or use orange juice)
- 1 tsp lemon zest (or orange zest. Best to use organic fruits here)
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tbsp vinegar
Instructions
- Dice the onion.
- Chuck the olive oil to the pot then the diced onion. Let it simmer a little.
- Add the honey, tumeric, cumin and salt. Stir. Dice the tofu.
- Add the peanuts, tofu and raisins. Let is simmer for a minute or two.
- Add vegetable broth and the rice. Stir a little. If the liquid runs out before the rice is cooked add a little more. I've found you generally don't need to, but it can depend on the rice.
- Then stick the lid on top and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the rice is done. Add the peas about 3 minutes before the end, they don't need long.
- Meanwhile get a bowl for the dressing.
- Grate in the garlic and lemon zest (make sure to wash the lemon well beforehand!).
- Add the lemon juice and vinegar.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- When the rice is done, you're done. Add the dressing.
- Enjoy!
