Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups kapika rice
  • 2 3/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup peas fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup shallots sliced into very thin rounds and separated
  • peanut or safflower oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh chives minced
  • 2 teaspoons parsley minced

Instructions

  1. Add the rice and vegetable broth with a pinch of salt to a 3 1/2 quart enameled Dutch oven and bring it to a boil over high heat.
  2. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover with a heavy lid weighted if desired, and cook for 20 minutes.
  3. Heat oil about 1/2 inch deep in a 2 quart saucepan over medium high heat.
  4. When oil is hot, gently add thinly sliced shallots and fry them, watching closely and stirring gently until they turn golden brown.
  5. Remove the fried shallots with a slotted spoon onto paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  6. When the rice timer finishes, lift the lid and place peas on top without stirring, then cover and cook for 10 more minutes.
  7. After 10 minutes, remove the lid and use a fork to fluff the rice and incorporate the peas.
  8. Serve the rice topped with chopped fresh chives, parsley, and the crispy shallot garnish.
