Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups basmati rice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 cups vegetable stock or 3 cups water
4 ounces sweet corn (2/3 cup)
1/2 red bell peppers or 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1 large carrot, grated

Steps:

  • Wash the rice in a sieve under cold water, then leave to drain about 15 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan and fry the onion for a few minutes over a moderate heat until soft.
  • Add the rice and stir-fry for about 10 minutes, taking care to keep stirring all the time so that the rice doesn't stick to the pan.
  • Add the garlic and the stock or water and stir well. Bring to the boil and cook over a high heat for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat, cover and cook the rice for 20 minutes.
  • Scatter the corn over the rice, then spread the pepper on top and lastly sprinkle over the grated carrot.
  • Cover tightly and steam over a low heat until the rice is cooked, then mix together with a fork and serve immediately.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The sweetness of the carrots and the crunch of the cashews really complement each other.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some carrots, celery, and onions that were about to go bad, so I threw them in with the rice and it turned out great!
