Background

This harissa pilaf goes perfectly with Middle-eastern style grilled meat & fish or stews. It can be a main meal in a vegan or vegetarian diet too.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp oil
1 onion, chopped
200g (brown) basmati rice
1 Romano red pepper, chopped
500ml vegetable stock
3 Tbsp raisins or sultanas
1 tsp harissa paste
1 handful coriander leaves

Instructions

Heat the oil in a heavy-based saucepan. Fry the onion until soft.
Rinse the rice several times in cold water, drain.
Add the rice and the pepper pieces to the onion, stir for a minute.
Add the harissa paste, raisins and the stock.
Bring to the boil, then simmer for 20-25 minutes at a low temperature (preferably covered). When the rice is tender and has absorbed all the stock, the pilaf is done.
Serve with coriander sprinkled on the top.

Tips

This pilaf is tasty warm and cold - so it's suitable for parties and picnics too.
