Rice a la va-va-vooooom...

[Delilah]

Are you fed up with plain old boring white rice?

Fry up an onion in a non-stick pan,
add the rice,
add a tin of chopped tomatoes,
and a stock cube if you like,
and enough water to cover half inch over the rice and boil as usual.
Don't forget to season to taste!

That sounds nice, apart from the fact that you put tomatoes in it.
I'm going to put marrowfat peas in instead of blydi yeuch tomatoes.

[Delilah]

you're blydi fussy you yeah Llainy! why don't you just make pea & ham soup be easier than spoiling my recipe

[Llaingoch]

No way no.
Do have have any idea of the mess I'd make in that kitchen place if I made soup ?
It'd be like a bomb's gone off.

so is the rice washed before or boiled or just cooked in the toms etc

[Carnedyr]

I reckon its washed then cooked in the toms

[Delilah]

yes, you should always rinse your rice first, and I always use Basmati rice, it goes nice and fluffy

If you cook curries then it's worth adding them to the pot while it's simmering.  They add flavour and thicken up the sauce.
