RECIPE :: citrus rice
2-4 servings
This is such a small and simple recipe that I wasn’t going to put it into the recipe book but I love it so much I couldn’t help but put it in. The citrus flavour is very strong and refreshing and works well with heavy or oily dishes.
Ingredients
275g/10oz of basmati rice,
2tbsp olive oil,
1 lemon (juice and zest),
1 lime (juice and zest) and
1100ml of water.
Method

Wash the rice thoroughly under cold water. Fry in the olive oil over a medium heat until dry. |
