Nutty Rice and Mushroom Stir-fry recipe
information
This delicious and substantial supper dish can be eaten hot or cold with salads.
Of all the types of long grain rice, basmati is undoubtedly the king. This long, thin, aromatic grain grows in India, where its name means fragrant. Basmati rice benefits from rinsing in a bowl with plenty of cold water and a light soaking for 10 minutes.
