States "this was made for Mariah Carey on Sept 12, 2003" in the article. Simple bean and rice recipe. Time is a
big guess here. While strolling thru the local scandal sheet,I found this recipe in back. No they were not the main motivation
for buying that. That had something to do with the Sims2, William, Harry and Charles and the fact Cammy can fight with the
best street fighter in the game. However.. This recipe interested me enough to save it. Now that it has been bouncing along
my desk top and school is back in session here she be with some mods. Everything is making me think of Sim2 today..
SERVES 8
3 cups white rice or brown rice
2 sweet onions, diced
14 1/2 ounces pigeon peas
1/2 cup butter
1 tablespoon turmeric
1 tablespoon chicken base or vegetable stock base, dark roasted
sea salt (optional)
1 teaspoon onions
1 teaspoon garlic powder, chopped fine or 2 garlic cloves, chopped fine
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper (melange)
6 cups water
1. Note if using brown, soak it a bit first and NO it should NOT be crunchy when done.
2. Melt butter in saucepan. Add onion and saute until translucent.
3. Add the rice and tumeric and lightly saute until coated. Add water, salt, base, peas and seasonings.
4. Cover and let simmer until water is absorbed. If any water is left, turn off heat and let rest, keeping covered
because the rice will continue to cook without burning. Note, check your directions for brown. The above was from the original
recipe for white.
