Ingredients
Pilau spice1½ tbsp Cumin 1 tbsp Cardamon ½ tsp Black pepper ½ tsp Cinnamon ½ tsp Cloves 2 cups raw rice4 cups cold water1 large onion, diced1 large green pepper (or red) diced1 large carrot diced1 cup diced celery3 cloves garlic minced1 tablespoon olive oil1 can beans (your choice)
In a small bowl, mix the pilau spices together. Set aside
In a large dutch oven place the rice and water. Add 1 Tablespoon of pilau spice to water and begin cooking on high. When it begins to boil, turn to a simmer (low), stir and cover.
In a fry pan add the olive oil, and vegetables. cook until tender (about 5 minutes or so). Add to rice, stir and cook until all liquid is absorbed.
Add beans, heat til warmed. serve warm in bowls. Salt and pepper to taste.
Pilau spice is an aquired taste and you can add more or less. I suggest you start as directed. The rice will look "dirty"
You can add peanuts if you desire or soy (edemante) beans. You can add whatever you like!
