Rice with vegetables and soy curry

INGREDIENTS
  1. ½ Red pepper
  2. ½ Yellow pepper
  3. ½ Green pepper
  4. 4 mushrooms
  5. 1 tsp of Curry
  6. 1 tsp of turmeric
  7. Plant-based milk
  8. 50 grams of brown rice
  9. 30 grams of coarse textured soy
  10. Water

1 - First, we leave the textured soy in a bowl with warm water while we make the rest of the preparations so that it hydrates.

2 - In a pot, bring water to a boil and cook the rice according to the instructions, for about 15-20 minutes.

3 - Now, dice the peppers and mushrooms, sautéing them briefly in a pan with a little olive oil. If they start to stick, a splash of water might help. Then add the drained, ready-to-cook textured soy protein to the pan.

4 - When the peppers and mushrooms are almost cooked, add a teaspoon of curry powder and another of turmeric, mixing everything well. To finish, add a splash of plant-based milk (coconut, almond, etc., whichever you prefer) to give it that creamy touch we all love.

5 - We adjust the amount of curry, turmeric and salt according to our tastes and the texture we are looking for.

6 - Finally, add the rice and mix everything until every grain is infused with flavor. Ready to enjoy a feast of colors and flavors!

As you can see, textured soy protein is very versatile in the kitchen, allowing you to use it in a variety of recipes. The key is its absorption of flavors and aromas, which lets you personalize each recipe to your liking. Furthermore, it's an ingredient that, when stored in a tightly sealed container away from light and temperature fluctuations, can last for quite some time. It's currently very easy to find and comes in various sizes. At Casa Perris, we have both soy and pea textured soy protein. We invite you to try it and prepare some of these recipes.

See you soon!
