Method
Preparation
Soak the rice in cold water for 30 minutes to 1 hour before use.
Skin and chop fine the onion and garlic.
Cooking
Fry the onion and garlic in the margarine for 5 minutes until the onion is tender.
Add the raisins, cinnamon and cayenne pepper and stir fry for 2 minutes.
Drain and add the rice and stir until the rice is covered with buttery spices.
Add the veggie stock or water, bring to the boil, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as necessary.
If the rice looks to go dry before the rice is soft, add more stock a little at a time as necessary.
Assembly
Once cooked, "fluff up" the rice with a fork to separate the grains.
Turn out into an oven proof serving dish and allow to settle for 10 to 15 minutes.
The rice will keep hot (Gas Mark 3) in the oven whilst other dishes are finished.
To serve
Decorate with fresh herbs before serving.
