Hi food team.
my question for you today is how do you make boring brown rice,
this stuff, this is the basmati variety,
more interesting because we know it takes a very long time to cook and it can be very bland.
So apart from just simple seasoning, any advice or tips on how to
jazz it up a little bit?
Brown rice has got a gorgeous nutty flavour ,
not a lot of people like to use brown rice but it's actually got more nutrients than white rice
and district making it more interesting is making him a broad range of societies and the trick to making it more interesting is make it the hero rather than just the side dish.
In the recipes here that i've done. I've made it the main thing.
I really love to make brown rice salad dressed in oil, vinegar, feta, rocket
all those beautiful flavours combined make a lovely dinner with your brown rice
Cook the rice, follow packet instructions
but also, cook it in stock rather than just water that sort of gives you a good base flavour for your rice.
I'm going to add
some red wine vinegar, oil, flat leaf parsley
roughly chop it.
And some mint as well. Pick the leaves rather than just chopping because the stalks are really
tough anyways.
Chop this all together.
That's all going to go in this bowl of rice,
so then I've got here some toasted pumpkin, sesame and pine nuts
Really yummy.
Add those in too.
Red chilli
this can all be tossed together.
It already looks more interesting
Bit of salt and pepper
and then rocket, a generous handful.
Here I've got some from squashed which I've roasted
It's cooled down a bit
I'm just going to try a little bit,
bit more oil.
and a little bit more salt
although remember that you're still going to be adding your feta so you've got another
flavour to come.
So I'm just going to plate this up now.
on top of that
some of the squash
add a few more seeds.
Bit more rocket
feta.
You don't need too much
finish it with some extra chilli, mint
oil
a few more nuts
and there you have it something a bit more interesting to do with your brown rice. Enjoy!
Another great idea for brown rice, this is
egg fried brown rice
Get a pan on, so it's on sort of a low heat
put your rice to one side
three eggs
you want to scramble it so just move you spoon around a bit,
Once it's scrambled, you can stir the rice into it
You can see that the egg's cooking
So it's probably a good stage to stir the rice through because there's only a bit left to cook.
It won't be too much
Season it with a bit of pepper
little bit of soy, keep it simple
Spring onions, fresh red chilli
keep them raw
you want to get that real kick
Chop these up, I'm going to stir through half of this and put a bit more on top.
Taste.
Bit more soy.
We're going to plate up now
Bit more spring onion, bit more chilli,
this taste something that will insisting the boring brown rice aside it seems
that i'll be happy
