Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 22m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup plain long grain rice
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 cup raisins
salt & pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1 teaspoon peri-peri
2 tablespoons chunky fruit chutney
125 g canned peaches
1 medium white onion
1 green pepper (capsicum)
1/2 cup mayonnaise (or to taste, careful not too much as will be too soggy)
1 bunch chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • PREPARATION.
  • Bring adequate (two cups?) amount of salted water to rolling boil, add rice, turmeric & raisins.
  • Stir so that turmeric mixes into rice and can be absorbed, bring rice back to boil, then turn right down to simmer covered for rest of cooking time (10 - 12 minutes?).
  • Once rice is cooked, rinse/drain; set aside to cool.
  • Finely chop both green pepper & white onion.
  • Chunky chop (not fine) half of the peaches from the can.
  • Add pepper, onion, peaches, cayenne pepper/peri peri, chutney, mayonnaise, salt & pepper to rice turning ingredients into rice gently so as not to mash rice.
  • Garnish with parsley.
  • VARIATIONS.
  • •Try adding 1/4 cup brown rice which would need cooking separately as it takes longer to cook. just stir into plain rice before adding other ingredients.
  • •Using a tablespoon of either lemon or lime juice gives this dish a nice twist, or even try using lemon or lime rind for an extra zing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice: Use a short-grain rice like sushi rice or arborio rice for a sticky, creamy texture. If you prefer a lighter, fluffier salad, use a long-grain rice like basmati or jasmine rice.
  • Cook the rice properly: Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any starch and impurities. Cook the rice according to the package directions, or use a rice cooker for best results.
  • Let the rice cool completely: Before assembling the salad, let the rice cool completely to room temperature. This will help prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
  • Use a variety of fruits: The best fruit salads are made with a variety of fruits, both fresh and dried. Some popular choices include berries, citrus fruits, melons, and tropical fruits. You can also add some chopped nuts or seeds for extra crunch.
  • Make a flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette is a great dressing for fruit salad. You can also use a store-bought dressing, or make your own with olive oil, vinegar, honey, and herbs.
  • Serve the salad chilled: Fruit salad is best served chilled, so make sure to refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Fruit rice salad is a refreshing and delicious side dish or light meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a variety of fruits, a flavorful dressing, and the perfect rice, you can create a fruit rice salad that everyone will love.
