Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Basmati rice
- 2 cups Water
- 1.5 cups Cooked pinto beans
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1.5 teaspoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Hard-boiled eggs
- 1 Sliced lemon
Instructions
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
While the rice cooks, heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Finely dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add both to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the turmeric, cumin, coriander, curry powder, and grated fresh ginger. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cooked pinto beans and stir to coat them evenly in the spice mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peas are heated through.
Add the cooked rice to the skillet and gently mix to combine all ingredients evenly.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Chop the cilantro and sprinkle it over the rice and beans mixture.
Peel and quarter the hard-boiled eggs. Arrange the eggs on top of the dish for garnish.
Serve the kedgeree curry curried pinto beans and rice with lemon slices on the side for a bright, tangy finish. Enjoy!
