'Nutty' Rice

This recipe was a modification on a standard rive that I make.

Original Recipe – Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Cooked Basmati Rice
• 80ml of Pistachio Nuts - shelled
• 1 cup of small sultanas
• 1 small onion –chopped
• Olive oil

Fry the onion in oil until tender, add the sultanas and nuts and toast until golden. Add the rice, and stir the mixture in well until well warmed through. This recipe is really enjoyable but using up bits from the fridge prior to holiday gave it a different edge:

Additional Ingredients:

• Small handful of chopped coriander
• Large Handful of sliced spring onions
• 50ml of pine kernals

With this version, add the pine kernals with the other nuts and then add the coriander and spring onions at the end. Very tasty and a meal in its own right AND vegetarian! I like to serve this warm but you could just as easily serve this cold.
