Tempered Rice With Coriander Leaves Food

PERFECT STEAMED RICE

Steps:

• Rinse rice in several changes of cold water until water is clear, then drain well in a large fine-mesh sieve. Bring rice and water (3 3/4 cups) to a boil in a 4-quart wide heavy pot and boil, uncovered, without stirring, until steam holes appear in rice and grains on surface look dry, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to very low, then cover pot with a tight-fitting lid and simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Gently fluff rice with a fork.

GREEN CORIANDER RICE

Steps:

• Place the capsicum, onion, garlic, coriander and parsley in a food processor. Blend to a fine paste. If you dont have a processor- chop ingredients as finely as possible or use a mortar and pestle. Set aside.
• In a saucepan, heat the butter and oil. Add the rice and fry gently for 2 to 3 minutes- until the grains become translucent.
• Quickly stir the herb paste into the rice. Continue to cook over heat for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Pour in the boiling stock and season with pepper. Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook 10- 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the stock has been absorbed. Watch closely after the 10 minute mark and add some extra water if more liquid is required.
• Remove from the heat and leave to stand , with the lid covered for a few minutes.
• Fluff the rice with a fork to seperate the grains and serve garnished with chopped coriander leaves or sprigs.
