This tasty vegan recipe is more of a guide, as I cannot give you exact measurements to make your rice the same way I do. Normally, what I do is saute some veg for my rice in a separate saute pan first, such as, carrots (I cut them into little cubes, about pea size), garlic, minced onion, minced bell peppers, peas, and maybe a small jalapeno. Set that aside. Then, prepare the water you are going to boil your rice in. Usually, you would want to use 3 times the amount of rice for your water measurement. So if you are boiling 1 cup of rice, you’d need 2 1/2 – 3 cups of liquid. I mix in some low sodium veggie broth (or you can use veg stock if you have it! Dilute 2 cups of veg broth with 1 cup water, or it gets really thick!) and let that start getting hot. Then, I add about 2 teaspoons dark chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, salt, pepper, and a few drops of tabasco. Then put the rice in and stir until it boils. Then, cover and simmer until the rice has soaked up all of the liquid and is fully cooked. Once that is done, add your veg and season with salt and pepper! Easy stuff!
Chili Relleno is classic latin dish, and this vegan alternative brings all the warm comforting feel and taste to the table.
This is a popular Mexican soup, great as an appetizer or as a main course. The base of the soup can be made and frozen for later use and you can add the noodles when you get ready to serve it – but its best fresh! Make sure when you buy the vermicelli that you double check to be sure its vegan, not made with egg! Some types of vermicelli are sneaky like that, but you can always substitute a pasta that is similar in shape and size that is vegan!
