Corn Rice

Corn rice is a quick, colourful and slightly sweet side dish that children love too – it comes together in a few minutes.

1. Chop the onion finely and sweat it glassy in the oil over a medium heat (about 4-5 minutes).

2. Add the rice and fry it, stirring, for 1-2 minutes, until the grains turn glassy – this keeps it from clumping.

3. Pour in the water, salt it, and start braising it under a lid over a low heat.

4. When the rice is half cooked (after about 8-10 minutes), stir in the drained sweetcorn.

5. Braise it further under a lid until the rice softens and absorbs the water (about 18-20 minutes in total), then pepper to taste.

Tip: A light, fresh side for grilled meats.
