Dinka's Cookbook

Best served cold.

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup raw long-grain rice
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium pepper, diced finely
• 1 large carrot, grated
• 3 – 5 halves canned peaches in syrup, diced
• 1 large gherkin, finely diced
• salt & pepper to taste

Ingredients: Dressing:

• 1 – 2 tsp curry powder
• ½ cup canned peach syrup
• 1 tbl fruit chutney
• 1 cup mayonnaise

Preparation:

• Boil the rice in salted water until tender. Drain thoroughly, and rinse with cold water to cool it quickly.
• Place the rice in a bowl and add the remaining ingredients.
• Mix together the dressing ingredients, and pour over the rice. Stir well to combine and check the seasoning – it needs to be well-seasoned. Chill until required.

Notes:

• Use 3 tbl chopped spring onion in place of the onion.
• I use an equivalent amount of red, green and yellow peppers mixed.
