Recipe By :Amazing Grains by Joanne Saltzman

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Rice

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups short-grain brown rice -- washed and drained

3 cups water

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon dark sesame oil

1 burdock root -- thinly sliced

1 carrot -- diced medium

pinch salt

1/2 cup green peas -- fresh or frozen

1 tablespoon mirin wine

1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar (optional)

tamari or shoyu -- to taste

parsley or fresh dill -- as garnish

 

1. Combine whole grain rice, water and sea salt in a pressure cooker. Seal and

bring up to pressure over high heat. Begin timing at this point and reduce heat

to medium low. Cook for 45 minutes. (A flame tamer is required.)

 

2. While rice cooks, heat a skillet, add oil and saute burdock and carrots,

sealing [sic] them one at a time. Cook with a pinch of sea salt until they are

sweet and soft. Season with mirin, vinegar and tamari.

 

3. When rice is done, remove pot from heat to cool slowly and release pressure

according to manufacturer's instructions. Mix peas and cooked vegetables into

hot rice. Cover pot again to steam peas for a few minutes before serving.

 

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

* Shape by mold or mound. Serve with hazelnut sauce. Lightly oil the mold:

serving bowl or custard cups; jello mold.

* Any sauce goes well with party rice. Serve with soup and salad with a

vegetable protein.

 

VARIATIONS:

* short grain brown rice has a distinct character that is enhanced by pressure

cooking. Other grain that can be used in this recipe are millet, quinoa, oats

and Job's tears.

* Water keeps the feeling of rice as a pure food. Rice cooked this way is a

canvas.

* Winter vegetables such as green onions, carrots and burdock root should be

cooked before they are mixed into the cooked grain. Spring and summer vegetables

like peas, corn and peppers can be steamed directly in the fresh pot of hot

grain.
