Brown Rice Ring Mould
Ingredients
- 8 oz long- grain brown rice
- 12 floz water
- salt
- 4 oz walnut halves roughly chopped
- 12 oz can sweetcorn drained
- 1 green pepper deseeded and diced
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- pinch of salt
- watercress sprigs to garnish
Instructions
- Grease a 1.15-1itre (2 pint) ring mould with oil.
- 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.
- Give the rice a light stir to make sure the grains are not stuck together and cover the pan tightly.
- 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.
- 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.
