Egg and Bacon Pilaff
Pilaff is a rice and meat dish, and this recipe puts a new twist on the classic by adding egg and bacon.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 oz onions skinned and thinly sliced
- 4 oz streaky bacon rashers rinded and snipped
- 6 oz long grain rice
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/2 pint light stock
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 pint dry cider
- 4 eggs
- chopped parsley to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a shallow, flameproof casserole or deep frying pan and fry the onion and bacon together to a golden brown. Stir in the rice and turmeric and cook 1 minute.
- Add the stock and seasoning and bring to the boil, stirring. Cover and simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
- Pour the cider into the casserole and adjust the seasoning. Make small 'wells' in the rice with the back of a spoon. Break the eggs, one by one, into a cup and tip carefully into the wells.
- Cover the casserole or pan and continue to simmer gently for a further 7 8 minutes, or until the eggs are just set, adding a little more stock if necessary. Serve from the casserole, garnished with parsley, if wished.
