Learn how to prepare this delicious pilau rice with a mixture of crunchy carrots, sweet raisins and aromatic spices.

Serves 4 | Preparation Time: 45 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients Required:

• 300g Basmati Rice
• 2 tablespoons Coconut/Olive Oil
• 1 tablespoons Honey
• 1 Medium Onion
• 1 Medium Carrot
• 1/2 Cup Raisins
• 1/2 teaspoon Cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon Whole Black Peppers
• 600ml Water (pre-boiled)

Method:

• Add the rice to a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 30 minutes to remove starch. After 30 minutes, drain the rice and leave to one side.
• In a large pan on high heat, add the oil and onions, and fry the onions until they are a deep brown colour, stirring frequently.
• Add in the carrots and honey, stir well and allow the carrots to cook for 5 minutes on a medium heat.
• Add in the salt, cloves, peppers, raisins and rice and mix everything together.
• Cover the rice with 600ml boiled water, turn to a high heat and bring back to the boil.
• Once the pan comes to the boil, cover the rice and allow it to simmer for 10-12 minutes on a low heat.
• When the rice is cooked, mix well to evenly spread the spices, carrots and raisins.

Serve and enjoy 🙂
