Jewelled Rice
Serves 6 as a starter:
INGREDIENTS
- 50g pistachios
- 50g almonds
- 100g cranberries
- 100g raisins
- Butter for frying
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and grated
- 1 onion diced
- 75g orange peel finely sliced
- flavourless oil for frying
- 600g basmati rice
- ½ teaspoon saffron steeped in a small amount of boiling water
- 3 tsp ' rice spice' 2 parts cinnamon to parts each of ground cardamom, rose petals and nutmeg
- salt and pepper
- Pomegranate seeds optional for decoration
METHOD
- Firstly, prepare the nutty, fruity bits. Blanch the nuts separately in boiling water. Fry the cranberries and raisins in a little butter until puffed. Next fry the carrot, orange peel and the chopped onion in a little oil until they have softened.
- Now cook the rice according to packet or you may have your own method as I do. Just before its cooked, stir through the liquid saffron and rice spice into the cooked rice.
- Turn out the rice on to a dish, and then lay out stripes of “jewels” across the top in pretty little rows, trying to contrast the colours. See Gourmande Jayne film
A very eye catching and delicious rice dish.
