Curried Rice and Jalapeno Pepper Mix

by natdabrat

Servings: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

1 large jalapeno pepper (sliced)
1/2 red onion (chopped)
1 medium tomato (diced)
1/2 sweet green pepper (diced)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup long grain rice (brown or white can do, I used white and have used Basmati)
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 bay leaf
1 mango (optional for salad)
6 green onions (optional for salad)
1/4 cup green pumpkin seeds (toasted)

INSTRUCTIONS

Saute the onion, jalapeno pepper, tomato, and green pepper in a medium size sauce pan. Just do it enough that the onion does not get over done. Pour in the curry powder, water and then mix in the rice, then add the bay leaf and cook until the rice is done. Let stand covered for 1/2 hour.

To Make Cold Salad:
When cooled I add mango, green onions and toasted pumpkin seeds to this and it makes a fabulous cold salad.
