Sunday night was Dr. Who night, so I wanted something that was quick to make, easy to eat in front of the television and didn't create too much washing up. The box this week came with a recipe sheet for a Cauliflower and Broccoli Pilaf with Chicken, which I adapted into a veggie version that incorporated the ingredients that I actually had in stock.
150g Quorn chicken-style pieces (about half a bag)
2 tbsp Rogan Josh paste
200g basmati rice
500ml stock
2 tbsp lemon juice
450g cauliflower, cut into florets
A couple of handfuls of frozen peas
Seasoning
I fried the Quorn in Fry Light, then added the rice, stirred around for a minute, then added the curry paste. After another minute I poured on the stock and lemon juice, covered it and left it to simmer for about 10 minutes. Then I added the cauliflower and peas, covered again and gave it another 5 minutes or so until the rice was cooked through.
It came out very well, with the cauliflower still fairly crunchy. I should really have thrown in some fresh coriander at the end (I always buy the price-reduced bunches when I see them in the supermarket and keep a supply in the freezer), but I could hear the TARDIS coming in to land in the other room, so it was the last thing on my mind.
