I cooked an old favorite recipe last night, which the family (including me) seemed to almost inhale, we were enjoying it so much. I was just sitting here thinking about how good it was when the thought crossed my mind, "Let's share this little culinary gem on my blog!" So here it is:
Tip Top Vegetable Biriani
Food photography - who knew how tricky it could be? Forgive me, I will try harder next time!
Ingredients:
1 large onion, peeled and finely diced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, finely diced
2 teaspoons curry powder
200g orange kumara (sweet potato), peeled and diced
200g basmati rice
500ml stock
100g green beans, cut into 2cm lengths
40g sultanas
50g cashew nuts
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Heat a large HEAVY BASED pan over medium heat for 2 minutes.
- Cook onion in oil until soft but not brown.
- Add garlic and curry powder and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Add kumara and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add rice and stock; stir well. Bring back to the boil, cover and reduce to low heat. Cook for 10 minutes.
- Add beans and sultanas. Cook 5 minutes.
- Add nuts and parsley. Remove from heat and stand, covered, for 5 minutes before serving.
Top tip: If you're not vegetarian, add 400g diced pork at the same time as the kumara - deeeelicious!
The Hatchlings love this recipe - not least because they have a thing for fishing out the sultanas first. I think it still blows them away that sultanas are sometimes in your dinner as well as your breakfast!
Happy cooking - and eating!
