Carrot Rice with Peanuts

This is an unbelievably flavourful rice recipe that almost seems a little too yummy for so few calories! I found this recice on a newsgroup, trimmed and vegetarian-ised it, and thought I'd share it with everyone here! It can easily be veganised with a suitable butter substitute.

    I'm not sure what I did. I mean it wasn't bad, it was lightly sweet with a hint of peanutty flavor. I just expected it to be more flavorful, with all the reviews. I think next time I'll add a little more ginger, and maybe try it with a natural peanut butter. Thanks for the recipe Anu

    I served this with Mean Chef's General Tso's Chicken, #52488 — and WOW!! The two recipes together were amazing!!! Absolutely incredible blending of flavors. I must say that all by itself I probably would have given this rice a 4* rating — mostly because as another reviewer said, the peanuts do impart a very strong flavor to the rice. Next time, I would add fewer peanuts to this dish to mellow the taste a little. I also stirred in some butter to the end result, and that helped to smooth it out. It was delicious! Thanks for sharing this recipe! Dianne

    This recipe is wonderful! I have made it twice and my husband made a variation of it once when we had no onion. He decided to add pineapple to the recipe which was okay, but nowhere near as good as the original recipe. The onion makes it great!
