Steamed Garlic Rice

[Nay-nay]

Brons garlic rice is my faourite way of doing rice but just lately I have tried making Jasmine rice after watching Jamie Oliver by just adding 10 tiny balls of the Jasmine dragons pearls to the rice. It is very nice.

This is his exact recipe in his words:
JASMINE RICE Put a medium saucepan on a medium heat. Add the mug of rice, a pinch of salt, a splash of olive oil, the 2 jasmine teabags or flower, and cover with 2 mugs of boiling water (use the same mug you used for the rice). Cover with a lid and cook for 7 minutes, then take off the heat and leave to steam with the lid on for 7 minutes. http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/seafood-recipes/thai-red-prawn-curry-jasmine-rice-cucumb

Nay-Nay I've given this it's own post too so that it will be easier to find when we desperately want to try it for tonights meal.
It sounds delicious. We nearly always have Bron's garlic rice too. This will be a change.

Oh - ok

I love this rice, and tonight I chopped up and quartered 1 red capsicum, 1 green capsicum, and 1 red onion.
chopped for 8 seconds, speed 4......then placed into varoma and steamed whilst the rice was steaming.



I spread it around the varoma and left some steam holes vacant.
You could add any small chopped veg.
I just stopped the cooking once, to give the rice a stir then carried on cooking.



Mix the both together in thermoserve, and leave to sit til ready.

Oh lovely! Will make this tomorrow night (am on rations here with all the sickness and expense of medicines, so need to use the stocks from the pantry!!)

So, aborio gives the nicest result? I've got a little confused about the round rice 

[LeeJ]

And oh my Maddy, those chicken enchiladas look sooo nice!

[LeeJ]

Made this tonight, was lovely. Used aborio rice, seemed a teeny bit gluey, so will try a different rice and see what we like better!

Ds munched it all down!

[Nay-nay]

How long did you cook it for?? Aboroi rice never needs as long.

  Oh, 

I grew up in a house where roasts, meatloaf and mince was on the menu, I didn't even try pasta until I was 16!!

Rice is still something I am learning about, whilst pasta has a firm place in our house, rice is not there yet.

I cooked it for the amount written down, so will cook it a little less next time, or find some 'round rice'  Thanks Nay Nay!

The best rice to use for cooking in the basket is either jasmine, long grain or basmati. Calrose and arborio come out too gluggy, whereas the other 3 come out nice and separate.

[Nay-nay]

Oh - wow LeeJ 16!
Yeah thermoheaven they would be my choice and brown rice needs a good 30mins.

Can't believe it has taken me THIS long to try the garlic rice. Made it with Bron's tomato meat balls and was delish!!

Though DD was a little fussy about it. But she's having a bit of a fragile night anyway

Favourite of mine too ILB - nice to see you on the forum

I tried this rice tonight and WOW! I don't think I will ever cook plain old boring rice ever again!
