Savoury rice mountain recipe
information
Rice trebles in weight when it is cooked so use 75 g (3 oz) raw rice to give the required amount of cooked rice.
Make sure the rice mixture is firmly packed down in the mould or basin and that it is well chilled so that it will not fall apart when it is turned out.

2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
200 g (7 oz) can sweetcorn, drained
