Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup uncooked basmati rice
pinch saffron threads
1 1/4 cups vegetable broth or water
1 (8 oz.) package five grain or plain tempeh -- cut in 1.5" strips*
1 medium onion -- chopped
1 medium green or red bell pepper -- seed/coarsely chop
1/2 cup raisins
1 tbsp. honey
2 tsp. curry powder -- mild one is best
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
prepared chutney
Cook the rice according to package directions, adding saffron to the cooking water.
Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup broth or water to bubbling in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add tempeh, onion, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 7 minutes, adding more broth or water as necessary to prevent sticking.
Stir in remaining broth or water and the other ingredients (except chutney). Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors are blended and sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve over hot rice with chutney on the side if desired.
