CURRY VEGETABLE BASMATI RICE

Steps:

• To a large frying pan heat the butter over medium heat. When melted and slightly bubbling, add the onions, red pepper, cauliflower and green beans. Sauté until softened, about 10 minutes.
• Add the garlic, rice, ginger, turmeric, coriander, cumin, cardamom (spices are listed as curry powder in the video) and salt. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Add 2 cups (472 ml) water, mix well. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Add a little more water if needed. Stir in the peas and serve.

CURRIED PORK CHOPS AND CAULIFLOWER WITH BASMATI RICE

Steps:

• Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the cauliflower, cover, and steam until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes depending on thickness. Remove from steamer and set aside.
• Season the pork chops with 1 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder, salt, and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the pork chops in the skillet and cook until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 3 minutes on each side. Place pork chops on a platter and cover to keep warm.
• Sprinkle the remaining 2 1/2 teaspoons of curry powder and flour into the same skillet. Whisk in the chicken broth, buttermilk, and apple chutney. Continue cooking until the curry has thickened. Stir in the cauliflower and half of the green onion; cook until the cauliflower is heated through. Place 3/4 cup of rice on each plate, and top each portion with a pork chop. Spoon curry sauce over pork chops, and sprinkle the remaining green onions to garnish.

CURRIED AND HERBED BASMATI RICE

Steps:

• Heat medium 3-quart pot over medium-high heat with oil. Add minced garlic. Cook for 2 minutes. Don't burn garlic. Lightly brown.
• Add rice. Constantly toss and stir to coat rice with garlic and oil and lightly toast rice.
• Add chicken stock, curry powder and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover on simmer til rice has absorbed liquid (about 20 minutes).
• During last 5 minutes of cooking rice, remove lid, add butter, rosemary and parsley. Stir. Recover.
• If liquid is absorbed, reduce heat to low and keep warm. If rice appears dry, add small amount of olive oil. I recommend doing this anyway, as the Extra Virgin Olive Oil adds wonderful flavor.
• Just before serving, add lemon zest to pot and toss to combine all ingredients. Salt and pepper to taste.
