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

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, dice the red bell pepper, and slice the carrot into thin rounds.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Add the rice to the skillet, stirring to combine it with the vegetables and vegan meat.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce, then add the cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

During the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the frozen peas, and continue to cook until they are heated through.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Vegan Savoury Rice with Ground Meat warm.
