How to make brown rice interesting – Jamie Oliver’s food team

hi pre-team my question few days how
would you make poor and brown rice this
stuff this is the basmati erotic and
more interesting because you’ll notice
help with you it takes a very long time
to cook and it’s all quite bland so part
for just simple seasoning and any advice
and tips on have to jazz it up a little
bit brown rice has got a gorgeous nutty
flavor not a lot of people like to use
brown rice but it’s actually got more
nutrients than white rice and the trick
to making it more interesting is make it
the hero rather than just the side dish
in the recipes here that I’ve done I’ve
made it the main thing I really love to
make brown rice salad dressed in oil
vinegar better rocket all those
beautiful flavors combined make a lovely
dinner with your brown rice cook the
rides follow packet instructions but
also cook it in stock rather than just
water that gives you sort of a good base
flavor your rice I’m gonna add some red
wine vinegar oil that leaf parsley
roughly chocolate and some mint as well
pick the leaves rather than just talking
because the stalks are really tough and
you don’t want to eat those chop this
all together that’s all going to go into
the bowl rice so then I’ve got here some
toasted pumpkin sesame and pine nuts
really yummy add those into red chili
this can all be tossed together already
looks more interesting bit salt and
pepper
and then rocket a generous handful here
I’ve got some squash which I roasted
it’s cooled down a bit I’m just going to
trial it with a bit more oil and a
little bit more salt although remember
because you’re going to be adding your
feta you’ve still got another flavor to
come so I’m just going to plate this all
up now on top of that some of the squash
add a few more seeds bit more bucket
better you don’t need too much finish it
with some extra chili mint oil a few
more nuts and there you have it
something a bit more interesting to do
with your brown lights enjoy another
great idea for brown rice this is egg
fried brown rice with red chili and
spring onion get a pan on so it’s on
sort of a low heat put your rice to one
side three eggs
you want to scramble it so just move the
spoon around of it once it’s scrambled
and you can mix your rice into it you
can see that the eggs cooking so it’s
probably at quite good stage now to stir
the rice through because there’s only a
bit left to cook you don’t it to be too
much seasoned it with a bit of pepper
little bit of soy keep it simple spring
onions fresh red chili keep them raw you
want to get that real kick chop these up
I’m going to stir through half of this
and then I’m going to put a bit more on
top taste
a bit more soy
we’re going to play up now the my spring
onion bit more fresh chilli did are
hopefully James we have with this dish
something bit more interesting than
pouring brown rice to the side hopefully
the students how they’ll be happy
