'Nutty' Rice

This recipe is something that I make when I have cooked rice left over.

Original Recipe – Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Cooked Basmati Rice
• 80ml of Pistachio Nuts - shelled
• 1 cup of small sultanas
• 1 small onion –chopped
• 1 Tsp of Ras-el-Hanout
• 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:

Additional optional Ingredients (but I tend to add these anyway):

• Small handful of chopped coriander
• Handfull of chopped red & green caspicums
• Handful of sliced spring onions

With this version, add the caspicums 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.

If you want to add meat, try adding pre-cooked (warm) chicken in small strips
