Directions
Orange-Cardamom Brown Rice With Peas (Vegan),Adapted from a recipe I saw in ExtraVeganZa that I made a little richer and using ingredients in my pantry. I think any kind of brown rice will do.,Wish I had read the previous review prior to cooking this recipe. The spices that go into this rice dish are deliciously aromatic. My husband ate the whole dish, my one-year old (who loves rice) did not, and I could only manage a spoon. The problem? The rice was quite crunchy. This recipe doesn’t take into account enough water to make it “edible” (from the ethnocentric perspective of a midwestern U.S. family). I think my son and I would’ve loved it, regardless. My husband decided that it was edible as the rice was comparably “dry” like Iranian dishes we’ve had in the past. So, if you like crunchy rice, keep the recipe as is. If you don’t, cook it longer and with more water before you throw the peas in at the end… we will make this again to suit our tastes.
