1 sm Onion
1 sm Garlic clove
1 Piece ginger root

1 sm Tomato
1 tb Margarine (vegan)
1 ts Coriander

Cover the rice with boiling water and leave to soak for several hours.
Drain, rinse, cover with water, add a little salt and the tumeric, bring to

Meanwhile, chop the beans and carrot. Steam them — and the peas — until

Chop the onion. Crush the garlic. Grate the ginger finely. Chop the
tomato.

Heat the margarine in a pan and add the onion. Saute until beginning to

Lower heat and stir in the spices. Then add the tomato and cook for a
minute longer. Remove from heat and stir in the cooked vegetables.

Place half the cooked rice on the bottom of a greased ovenproof dish, spoon
the vegetable mixture over it, then top with the other half of the rice.
Cover the dish (if it has no lid then use foil) and bake it at 350 degrees
F (180 C) Gas Mark 4 for about half an hour.

Toast the almonds under a hot grill (broiler) until lightly browned. When
the pilau is ready and dished up, sprinkle the almonds on top.

kidney beans with an oriental twist :^)

2 1lb cans kidney beans (i used Goya, those are some BIG beans…)
1 huge onion
2-3 cloves garlic
few drops sesame oil
few tsp szechuan sauce
1 tsp Vegeta (optional; this is a powdered vegetable mix used 4 soups)

i cooked this in a wok (lovely non-stick one) but you could use a heavy
big pan. put pan on medium-high fire. let it get hot. coat the bottom
with a little sesame oil. saute onions (_not_ garlic). meanwhile
open cans, drain one, keep the liquid from the other. take a few beans
adn mash with a fork (about 2tbsp of ’em) til creamy. when onions are
translucent, add beans, mashed beans, and juice from 1 can. cook for
a couple minutes, add szechuan sauce (taste first! it could be too hot
or too mild for you :^) i used 3 tsp.) add Vegeta. mince/crush garlic
cloves, but only add them in _after_ you turned off the fire. mix
into beans, cover, let sit a few minutes. the hot beans will cook the garlic
but most of the flavor will still be there (i don’t like to saute garlic
first because most of the flavor is gone by the time dish is ready… a
matter of taste, i suppose)

serve over rice. should serve 3-4ppl. this recipe was adapted after
something i read on a can. i think this provides the best taste-per-
effort ratio…
