This recipe is by
Nigel Slater and published in the Guardian. It's simple, vegan, light, cheap and perfect for a weekday. It
contains root vegetables combined with rice and onions. I must admit
that I never before reading this recipe thought of combining root
vegetables with rice. Somehow it just didn't belong to my regular
cooking ways, but I got curious once I saw this recipe and tried it
out. I also haven't been cooking much rice at all lately, so even
that makes a welcome change.
I think that this
was a rather nice dish, even though I left the beetroot of the
original recipe out, which makes my variation a bit paler, but it was
still very tasty. Otherwise I followed the recipe pretty closely.
This dish works
either as a stand-alone dish, or served on the side in fashion of a
pilaf rice. I think just a fresh salad, pomegranate seeds and little
halloumi would be great with this.
What do you think
of this dish?
this looks like a great winter warmer - not the sort of dish I usually use but I could imagine I would love it - with maybe some hearty stew on the side!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what it is, and not one of my typical dishes either, but it was worth the try.
