Ingredients

• 1 cup Brown rice
• 2 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 medium Carrot, diced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 cup Peas, frozen
• 1 tablespoon Curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 Lime, juiced

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

In a medium-sized pot, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35-40 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Step 3

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced carrot and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables have softened.

Step 6

Mix in the frozen peas, curry powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables with spices.

Step 7

Once the rice is cooked, add it to the skillet with the vegetables. Gently stir to combine all ingredients and distribute the curry flavor evenly.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat. Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the rice and stir in the chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Serve the curry-flavored rice hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
