Curried Rice Pilaf

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups onions, diced
  • 1 - 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 cup red pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1/4 cup (more if needed) water
  • 4 cups brown rice, cooked
  • 1 1/2 cup peas, frozen
  • 2 - 3 teaspoons (to taste) curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon (or to taste) Kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a medium or large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the onions, pepper and carrots and sauté until the onions are soft.
  3. Stir in 1/4 cup water, cooked rice, frozen peas and curry powder. Add more water if desired to make the rice softer and moister.
  4. Continue to cook over medium low heat until the curry is hot.
  5. Add salt, stir and serve.

Notes

This recipe is great to use leftover rice (of course fresh rice is best). If your rice is leftover and hard, add more water if needed to make sure the rice is soft and moist enough.

Add a little more water if the rice sticks to the bottom of the pan.

You can also use cooked white rice for this recipe.
