Simple and Special Rice
February 25, 2006 EASY, mains, side
As you can see in the following post, this dish was developed to serve with the Orange chicken that I ate with Ellie. She thought that the dish sounded strong but agreed that it was lovely and not as full on as it seemed it would be.
Serves: 2
Prep: 5 min
Cook time: 15 min
Ingredients:
1 cup of Basmati Rice
1 ½ cups of chicken stock
2 cm of ginger finely chopped
2 garlic cloves finely chopped
A small hand full of mint (optional)
1. In a little canola oil fry the ginger and cloves just long enough for them to flavour the oil.
2. Add the rice and stir through the mixture to coat with flavor
3. Cover in the chicken stock and place the lid on.
4. In 15 minutes check to see if it is fully absorbed, if so, serve with a lightly chopped handful of mint leaves
