jar of Jalapeno all ready to go and love adding it to a lot of dishes)
Salt to taste

For the rice:
3/4 tsp ground tumeric
1/4 tsp ground cumin
2 3/4 c. water
1 1/2 c. rice (basmati is good)

Saute veggies in a little water until they are golden, about 10 minutes. Add
remaining ingredients and cook for 30 minutes or longer.

Combine spices in a skillet and heat over low heat until fragrant, about 30
seconds. Add water, rice,and salt. Bring to boil, and cook until rice is done
(15 minutes for white, about 40 minutes for brown). Serve beans over rice,
with some chopped cilantro and yogurt optional.

Categories: Holiday
Yield: 1 servings

1/4 c Dry mustard; Colemans 1 tb Sugar
1/4 c White wine vinegar 1/2 ts Salt
1/3 c Dry white wine 3 Egg yolks

You begin with dry mustard, adding vinegar for tartness and wine for
mellowness; then you cook with egg yolks to give the spread its velvety
smooth texture. You can season the mildly flavored mustard as suggested,
or leave if plain. For gift-giving, package the mustards in jars and identify
them with decorative labels. In top of a double boiler, stir together mustard,
vinegar, wine, sugar, and salt. Let stand, uncovered, for 2 hours. Beat egg
yolks into mustard mixture. Place over simmering water and cook,
stirring with a wire whisk, until mixture thickens slightly (about 5
minutes). Pour into small jars and let cool. Cover tightly and refrigerate
for up to a month. Makes about 1 cup.
