Mutterpulaoricepilafwithpeas Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare pilaf according to package directions., In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add peas and mushrooms; cook and stir until tender, 6-8 minutes. Stir in rice.

Steps:

• In a pot, heat up the oil on medium high heat.
• Add the onion and cook till it softens, becomes translucent and releases its water. Do not brown or dry out.
• Add cloves, bay leaf, cardamom, peppercorn and cumin.
• Fry for about a minute or so.
• Add turmeric powder, coriander powder and chilli powder. Stir and fry a bit. If it looks a little dry add a little bit of the chicken stock that you have aside.
• Add the garlic and ginger paste, stir fry a minute or two.
• Add the peas and chicken stock and let it warm up but not to a boil.
• Add rice and salt to taste. Stir well. Increase heat to high. Let the rice come to a boil and let boil for 5 minutes.
• Give a quick stir, cover with lid and turn heat down to medium and let cook for 15 minutes.
• Turn the stove off. Do not uncover the rice or move it from the stove. Let it sit in its steam for 5-10 minutes as the stove cools down allowing the rice to become fluffy.
• Serve hot!

Steps:

• Wash the rice. This is one of the most crucial steps in creating a delicate pulao, where each grain of rice is separate from the other. Pour the rice into a large bowl and fill with fresh water. Gently wash the rice, running your hand through the rice without breaking the grains. The water will go smoky. Pour off the water and fill the bowl again. Wash, drain, and repeat 3 or 4 times until the water runs clear. By washing the rice in this way, you've just removed the excess starch from the rice so the grains won't stick together.
• In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm the canola oil until it's shimmering, but not smoking. Add the cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves - they should sizzle as they hit the oil. Saute gently until their woodsy aromas waft up into your nostrils.
• Add the Ginger-Garlic Paste and the chopped scallions and saute 1 minute or so until they soften.
• Add the rice to the pot, season with salt, and saute gently until the grains aren't sticking together anymore and the rice turns translucent, about 2 minutes. You should also start to smell the basmati's gentle aroma. This smell always reminds me of my mum!
• Add the can of tomatoes and stir. Cook about 2 minutes to get rid of some of the excess liquid.
• Add the water and salt and turn the heat up so that the contents of the pot come to a boil. Then turn the heat down as low as it can go, put a lid on it, and cook for 15 minutes. Don't take the lid off at all during this process! Once the 15 minutes are over, resist the temptation to take the lid off again. Let it sit 5 minutes off heat. This will steam the rice and give you a nice, fluffy pulao.
• Finish with a flourish of peanuts and a sprinkling of the scallion greens and serve.
• Throw the garlic, ginger, and canola oil in a mini-food processor and let it go until it forms a semi-smooth paste. There will still be tiny little pieces in there, but overall, it should resemble a paste.
• Save what you don't use in a small glass jar. It should last in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks. It's a delicious addition to marinades, pasta sauces, stir fry sauces, slow-cooker recipes, gravy etc. We always had a jar of this stuff in our fridge growing up.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine peas and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes or until tender. Drain and keep warm., In a large nonstick skillet, cook the bay leaf in oil until golden, about 3 minutes. Add onion; saute until tender. Stir in the seasonings; saute for 30 seconds. Add the rice; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Stir in broth and remaining water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until rice is tender. Add peas; heat through. Discard bay leaf.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms, bell pepper, and onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in water, rice, bouillon granules, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, 14 to 16 minutes.

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, heat the oil and butter, add the onion and mushrooms and sauteed until soft and translucent.
• Pour in the rice and stir to coat the granules well. Cook until the edges of the rice grains have turned translucent, but not toasted.
• Add the stock and salt. Cover the pan tightly, placing a sheet or two of paper toweling under the lid, reduce the heat to low and cook until all the liquid has evaporated and grains are tender.
• Correct the seasonings. Toss the rice with a fork and fold in the sauteed almonds and parsley.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large flameproof casserole and cook the onion over low heat for 5 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and continue cooking 5 minutes longer or until the mushrooms release their liquid.
• Turn up the heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the moisture in the mushrooms evaporates.
• Add the rice and stir it for a few minutes or until the grains are transparent.
• Pour in the stock or stock mixed with water and bring to a boil.
• Lower the heat, cover the pan and cook the rice for 20 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed (If you have a heat diffuser, set the pan on it to prevent the bottom from scorching).

• Serve remaining rice at once.
