- -------- ------------ --------------------------------
- 2 1/2 c water
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 c basmati rice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 med red onion -- diced
- 1 c celery -- sliced
- 2 ea carrots -- thinly sliced
- 1 lg broccoli -- cut into florets
- 1/2 med red bell pepper -- diced
- 1/2 med green bell pepper -- diced
- 2 cloves garlic -- minced
- 1 lg tomato -- diced
- 1 c peas, frozen
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
- 1/2 tsp coarse salt
- 2 tbsp capers -- for garnish
- 12 ea black olives -- sliced, for garnish
-
- Place 2 to 2 1/2 cups water (check instructions on rice package) and
- turmeric in a saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Add rice, stir
- and cover tightly. Reduce heat to very low and simmer about 45 minutes.
- Don't peek. You do not want to allow any steam to escape or your rice
- won't be fluffy (rice can be made ahead).
-
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add
- the onion, celery, carrots, broccoli, peppers, and garlic. Saute until
- onions exude liquid and vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Add
- tomato and peas; cook until heated through.
-
- Add cooked rice and about 2 tbsp water to prevent sticking. Cook 3 to 4
- minutes or until vegetables are tender and rice is heated through. Season
- with cayenne and salt. Server on individual serving plates and garnish
- with capers and olives.
