1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon
ground red pepper (optional, for heat)
1-1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1 cup dry brown rice
or converted white rice
2-1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons beef broth powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ginger
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1/3 cup raisins
6 tablespoons shredded coconut
6 tablespoons peanuts
Get out a big skillet with
a good lid. Fry the ground beef or turkey in a large skillet
and break it up into small pieces. Drain off the fat.
Rinse the meat in hot water and return it to the skillet. Add the
onions and garlic and sautè until the onions are tender.
Add the rice and stir it around until it looks a little toasty, about
2 or 3 minutes. Add the water, bouillon, salt, red pepper,
ginger, peanut butter, and raisins. Bring the mixture to a
boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan with a good
lid or even a pizza pan if you don't have a lid handy. If you
used brown rice then simmer the mixture for about 45 minutes, or
until the rice is tender. If you used converted rice then
simmer the mixture 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender. If
the mixture seems dry, then add a little extra water towards the
end. Serve the mixture in bowls, topped with a tablespoon each
of coconut and peanuts on each serving. Serve this with sliced
tomatoes, pickles, and lemon gelatin.
