Rice Recipes
Rice is so often seen as a “lazy” side, but it is a genuine star on the kitchen being to focus of dishes from the Americas to Europe and Far East Asia.
Chinese sausage (lap cheong) and egg fried rice, a quick and easy recipe featuring smoky sausage, green peas, soy sauce and black vinegar.
Spam fried rice with Korean kimchi and gochujang to turn up the heat and garden peas to provide sweet notes to contrast the salt and chilli.
Spicy Nduja risotto made with Calabrian sausage paste & tinned cherry tomatoes is cooked using time-honoured techniques and tastes fantastic.
Tomato and mascarpone risotto, a gloriously rich vegetarian main meal that combines sun-dried tomatoes & tinned tomatoes to maximise flavour.
Chicken and chorizo jambalaya is my take on a comforting Cajun classic, smoked sausage and the spice & herb mix are the stars of this dish.
One-pot baked chicken and chorizo rice with Spanish influences features a little chilli heat and tickle of acidity from sherry vinegar.
Vegetarian paella may seem odd, but it lends itself perfectly to being a vegetable-based dinner, my version features artichokes and fennel.
Pea, asparagus and broad bean risotto is the perfect spring dish that features a lovely hint of lemon and plenty of parmesan cheese.
Baked halloumi cheese and brown rice stuffed peppers get a punch of flavour and a bit of chilli heat thanks to Tunisian rose harissa paste.
