Spiced Rice with Peas & Pumpkin Seeds
Home » COOK » Recipes » Vegan Recipes »We (hubs and I) are on day 2 of a 28 day detox. Last night, I made this vegan/vegetarian rice dish, which I adapted slightly from Carol Vordeman’s 28 day detox book.
Spiced Rice with Peas & Pumpkin Seeds
Ingredients
- 150 g basmati rice
- 100 g frozen or fresh peas
- 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds lightly toasted
- ½ tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 450 ml hot vegetable stock
Instructions
- Heat a saucepan and when hot, dry fry the cumin, coriander and dry rice for 2 minutes, stirring continually. This helps to release the flavour and aroma from the spices.
- Add the hot vegetable stock to the pan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 7 minutes.
- Remove the rice from the heat, and stir in the peas. Cover again and leave to steam for a further 7 minutes.
- When ready, stir through the pumpkin seeds and serve immediately.

It’s got to the point where I really feel like I need to get all the crap things out of my body – sugars especially. I know it’s only day two, but I’m enjoying the detox so much more second time around – maybe because I’d already been changing my eating habits over the months, or maybe because I’m more focused?
Glad you stopped by, hope you stay a while :)
