Ingredients for the vegan one pot rice with yoghurt sauce
For the rice one pot:
✓ 250 g Lotao basmati rice, white
✓ 2 red peppers
✓ 2 tbsp rapeseed oil
✓ 1 clove garlic
✓ 2 tbsp tomato paste or ajvar
✓ 1 tbsp paprika powder, sweet
✓ 1 pinch of cayenne pepper and hot paprika
✓ 750 ml water
✓ 10 g vegetable stock (approx. 2 tsp)
For the yoghurt sauce:
✓ 300 g vegan yoghurt
✓ 2 cloves garlic
✓ 1 tbsp lemon juice
✓ 1 pinch of salt and cayenne pepper
✓ Some chives
Preparation of vegan one pot rice with yoghurt sauce
- Fry the peppers: Cut the peppers into small cubes and peel the garlic. Heat the rapeseed oil in a large pot over a high heat and fry the pepper cubes until they are lightly browned.
- Prepare the rice: While the peppers are roasting, wash the Lotao basmati rice in a sieve under warm water until the water runs clear. This will remove excess starch and make the rice fluffy and grainy when cooked.
- Add spices and rice: Press the garlic directly into the pot and fry briefly with the diced peppers. Then add tomato paste (or ajvar) and the spices (paprika powder, cayenne pepper, hot paprika). Mix everything well and fry for 1-2 minutes on a medium heat so that the aromas can develop well.
- Cook the rice: Put the washed basmati rice in the pot with 500 ml of water and the vegetable stock. Mix everything well and simmer over medium heat until most of the water has evaporated. Then add another 250 ml of water, put the lid on and simmer over low heat until the rice is cooked. Stir regularly so that the rice does not stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Prepare the yoghurt sauce: While the rice is cooking, prepare the yoghurt sauce. To do this, put the vegan yoghurt in a bowl, press in the garlic and mix with lemon juice, salt, cayenne pepper and chopped chives. Let the sauce simmer for a short while so that the flavors combine well.
- Serve and enjoy: Arrange the finished one pot rice on plates and top with a generous spoonful of the yoghurt sauce. If you like, you can garnish the dish with fresh herbs such as parsley or coriander.
