This is an adaptation of an old Armenian recipe, and this variation is so delicious I can't stop eating it. It's a great way to stretch expensive seasonal asparagus and pricey cashews. It's great as a side dish or as a vegetarian main.

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Brown rice, with its nutty taste, takes well to robust additions like wild mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes. Add some well-flavoured vegetarian cheese too, and a little will go a long way.

Chinese New Year Sweet Rice

Recipe by: SEMANO

Be the first to review it!

This is a traditional Chinese sweet rice recipe that is usually served for the Chinese New Year. This recipe was handed down to me from my dad who liked to eat this alone as a main dish, so it's a little heartier than most other sweet rice recipes. For those of you who know what Chinese sweet rice is, this is the most delicious recipe yet!

Fragrant basmati rice

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Basmati cooks to perfect, separate, fluffy grains and is considered by many to be the finest rice. Here it is subtly scented and coloured with saffron, cinnamon and ginger. The sweet-sharp flavour of pomegranate adds a unique quality to this dish, and a few seeds scattered over the top just before serving make an attractive finish.

Green coriander rice

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Making a herb and vegetable paste is a quick and simple way of producing vibrantly coloured, flavoursome rice. Toasting the rice in just a little oil and butter, then cooking with the paste before adding stock and simmering, develops and enriches the flavour of the dish. This makes a great accompaniment to grilled or roast chicken.

Herb and saffron risotto

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

This fragrant, fresh-tasting risotto can be served either as a starter or as a side dish. It should be eaten as soon as it is cooked – if it is left to stand, the starch will begin to set, resulting in a heavy texture. Lemon zest and juice and fresh herbs stirred in at the end add a wonderful burst of flavour.
