Carrot Rice With Peanuts


This is an unbelievably flavourful rice recipe that almost seems a little too yummy for so few calories! I found this recice on a newsgroup, trimmed and vegetarian-ised it, and thought i'd share it with everyone here! it can easily be veganised with a suitable butter substitute.

Steps


Combine rice and water in a medium saucepan.
Bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat to low , cover with lid , and allow to steam until tender / cooked.
While rice is cooking , pulverize peanuts in a blender and set aside.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Saute onions until golden brown.
Stir in ginger , carrots , and salt to taste.
Reduce heat to low and cover to steam 5 minutes.
Stir in pepper and peanuts.
When rice is done , add it to the skillet and stir gently to combine with other ingredients.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot.
