Golden Spiced Tomato Rice with Pea Cream

 
Full of tender vegetables and whole-food carbohydrates, this dish is rich in iron, protein, vitamins and minerals.  After all the ingredietns are prepped and the pea cream is blended, they combine together in a skillet and meld with several warm and flavorful spices.
 

 
To save time when making dishes with lots of herbs and spices, I usually combine all the spices/herbs together in a cup before they’re needed so that they can quickly be dumped into the dish at the right times.  Many have probably already discovered this time-saving tip, but it’s worth reiterating because it really helps the cooking process go smoothly instead of burning ingredients while you are running back to the cupboard to get yet another spice–I’ve been there many times.
