Preparation / Directions:
Rinse rice and peas in cool water; drain. In a medium saucepan, heat ghee; then saute cumin, mustard and fennel seeds until mustard seeds begin to pop. Add drained rice and peas, bay leaf and turmeric; stir well and continue to cook another 2 to 3 minutes. Add white parts of onion, ginger, celery, salt and water to pan. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Add carrots, cauliflower and sage. Bring back to a simmer, adding additional water if necessary to keep ingredients completely covered in liquid. Continue cooking 30 or 40 more minutes. Add remaining green onions. Stir to combine, then simmer an additional 5 minutes. Serve garnished with roasted sunflower seeds and chopped cilantro.
