Basmati Rice Casserole
- 2 large tomatoes
- 1 red onion, cut in half
- 1 can chickpeas, rinsed
- 6oz (about 4 pretty large handfuls) of dark leafy greens - I used Trader Joes mixed greens with mustard greens, collard greens and kale
- 1 bag or 1 head cauliflower, cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 cup raisins
- 3/4 cup cashews
- 2 Tbsp canola oil
- 1 Tbsp garam masala
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups brown basmati rice
- Cook rice according to package directions.
- Puree tomatoes and 1/2 onion in a blender until there are no lumps or chunks. This took seconds in my magical Vitamix. Set aside.
- Dice the other half of the onion and saute in oil for about 5 minutes. Add in cauliflower and chickpeas and heat for another 5 minutes. Pour in tomato onion puree, which will be a gorgeous pink color. Simmer and add greens, a few handfuls at a time so they have a chance to wilt. Mix in garam masala, turmeric and salt. Simmer for another 10 minutes. At the end of cooking, mix in raisins and cashews.
- Scoop rice into a bowl and top it with the veggie mixture.
