Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium carrot
- 8 ounces vegan ground meat substitute
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, dice the red bell pepper, and slice the carrot into thin rounds.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the diced red bell pepper and sliced carrot to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the vegan ground meat substitute, using a spoon to break it into smaller chunks. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing it to brown and heat through.
Add the rice to the skillet, stirring to combine it with the vegetables and vegan meat.
Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce, then add the cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, reduce the heat to low, and cover the skillet. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the frozen peas, and continue to cook until they are heated through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Vegan Savoury Rice with Ground Meat warm.
