Ingredients
- 1 stalk celery (chopped)
- 1 leek
- 1 5/8 c liquid
- 1 c kale (fresh chopped)
- 5/8 c peas (frozen)
- 3/4 c brown rice see note
- 5 oz chicken (cooked)
- 1/2 c mushrooms (fresh chopped)
- 1 ts curry powder
- 1/4 ts pepper flakes (red)
- 3 slices carrots (sliced)
* (use white if you prefer, but since it doesn't take as long to cook, you may want to cook the vegetables a bit before adding the rice.) Put rice and liquid in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add curry, pepper flakes, carrots, celery, leek, kale and mushrooms. Return to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Add meat and peas, and cook another 5 minutes. Serve. This served 2 very (!) hungry adults. You could probably stretch it to 3 by adding a bit more rice and liquid Recipe By : herl jennifer l 1.CSO.UIUC.EDU>
