Recipe for Blue Peas

Blue Pea Flower Coconut Rice

(A Fragrant, Naturally Blue Rice Dish – Vegan & Gluten-Free)
Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 cup jasmine rice (or basmati)

• 1½ cups water

• 10–12 dried blue pea flowers (for color)

• 1 cup coconut milk

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 lemongrass stalk, bruised (optional)

• 1 pandan leaf (optional, for aroma)

• Toppings: Toasted coconut flakes, lime wedges, cilantro

Instructions:

1. Infuse the blue water – Boil 1½ cups water, then steep dried blue pea flowers for 5–10 mins until deep blue. Strain and discard flowers.

2. Cook the rice – Rinse rice, then cook in a pot with the blue water, coconut milk, salt, lemongrass, and pandan leaf (if using). Simmer covered on low heat for 15–20 mins until liquid is absorbed.

3. Rest & fluff – Let sit for 5 mins, then fluff with a fork. The rice will turn a beautiful shade of blue!

4. Serve – Garnish with toasted coconut, lime, and cilantro. Pairs well with grilled tofu or curry.

Why Blue Peas?

• Natural food coloring (changes color with pH—add lime juice for purple!).

• Rich in antioxidants (supports brain health).

• Mild, slightly floral taste (great for desserts too!).

Variations:

• Blue Pea Flower Tea – Steep flowers in hot water + honey for a caffeine-free drink.
