Ingredients
Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩🍳 method for this recipe
- 200g (7 oz) long grain rice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 a teaspoon of saffron strands
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 475 ml (16 fl oz) good chicken stock
- 50 g (2 oz) pickled jalepeno chili slices
- sea salt
- Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Method
- In a sieve, rinse the rice for a few minutes under cold running water to remove excess starch. The water should run clear once done
- Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion and garlic for 4 minutes until soft and translucent
- Mix the rice into the onion mix and stir well to coat all of the rice
- Drop in the saffron strands
- Add the chicken stock, bring to the boil and simmer, covered, for 25 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid. A sheet or so of tin-foil under the pan lid helps to make a good seal
- Add extra water if the rice dries out before it's cooked
- Add the chopped chillies and add salt to taste
Serving suggestions
Serve in a large bowl, garnished with coriander leaves
Variations
Serve cold as a salad.
If you don't want to add chillies, try some sliced roasted red peppers instead.
Chef's note
If you don't have saffron, use a teaspoon of turmeric powder and add when you add the rice to the oil.
