Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped

  • 1 large carrot julienned
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped parsley

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet until almost smoking.
  • Add the onions and cook until soft. Then add the garlic, cumin, nutmeg, coriander, and ginger, and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the rice to the pan and coat with the rest of the ingredients that are in the pan.
  • Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
  • Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, until rice is tender.
  • Remove from heat, fluff with a fork & fold in the peas, carrots, and parsley. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

*Carrots are julienned, and served raw, no need to blanche.
