method
1. Grease a 1.15-1itre (2 pint) ring mould with oil.
2. Put the rice in a saucepan and pour in the water. Add a little salt, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat so that the liquid barely simmers.
3. Give the rice a light stir to make sure the grains are not stuck together and cover the pan tightly.
4. Simmer very gently for 30 - 40 minutes. At the end of cooking all the liquid should have been absorbed. Mix all the ingredients together and pack the mixture into the ring mould.
5. Leave the rice to cool and chill thoroughly. Turn out and serve as an accompaniment to a salad.
For a more colourful dish, add peas or diced, peeled and deseeded tomatoes to the rice.
