Home » COOK » Spiced Rice with Peas & Pumpkin Seeds
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
Yield: 2
Cook Time: 14 minutes
Total Time: 14 minutes
Ingredients
150g basmati rice
100g frozen or fresh peas
2 tbsp pumpkin seeds, lightly toasted
½ tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp ground coriander
450ml 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?
A detox in the making, sounds interesting! I look forward to reading more about it. The dish looks delicious, I saw it pop up on Facebook and headed over. ;)
