Having bought EVERYTHING at Trader Joe's in Rockville in Sunday, the Kleinette is now prepared to make lots of different simmer sauce dinners. Last night, I made this one and I thought I'd share the recipe in case you too would like to have an idea for a pretty easy Indian type dinner at home...
I made rice with onions, peas, tumeric, and cumin. I also made curried potatoes and Spinach Punjab simmer sauce vegetables.
Ingredients:
1 Cup Rice/2 Cups Water
1 Onion
3 small potatoes
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon Curry Powder
1 bag Trader Joe's Vegetable Hodge Podge (any back of frozen veggies will do, but the Trader Joe's ones actually taste really good).
1/4 cup Trader Joes frozen peas.
1 tsp garlic powder.
1 tbsp each Cumin/Tumeric
First Step- Potatoes-: Preheat oven to 450. Wash and chop potatoes into 1-2 inch 'cubes'. Melt butter in a small saucepan and mix in the curry powder. Spread the potatos over a cookie sheet and top/toss with the curry butter mix. Put in the oven for 35-40 minutes.
Second Step: Rice- Put your usual rice pot on the stove and heat to medium hight. Add 2-3 tbps of olive oil to heat. Chop/Dice one whole onion. Sautee 2/4 of theonion with garlic/salt/pepper until it is translucent. Next add cup of Rice and sautee briefly until the grains start to become translucent too. Add 1 tbsp Cumin & Tumeric to the Rice, mix and cook just about 30 seconds longer. Next add 2 cups of water (or whatever the correct moisture/rice combo is for your rice) and about 1/4 cup frozen peas. Bring to a boil then turn to low heat and cook per rice directions.
Third Step: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a wok or big skillet. Stir fry the remaining onion and the frozen vegetables. Add the whole jar of simmer sauce and 1/2 cup of water. Let simmer for about 15 minutes on low heat to bring the sauce together. The Trader Joe's recipe calls for an entire jar of water, but I find that waters down the taste too much.
