The combination of slow-cooked fennel and lightly crushed seeds offers a subtle aniseed aroma, which is beautifully balanced by the juicy bursts of golden raisins. It is an elegant way to elevate simple white rice into something truly special, providing a light yet complex flavour profile that works perfectly alongside roasted vegetables or grilled protein.
Quick to prepare and naturally gluten-free, this wholesome rice dish is a versatile addition to your plant-based repertoire. The method uses a clever tea towel steaming technique to ensure the grains remain perfectly fluffy and separate every time.

1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds, lightly crushed
45ml extra-virgin olive oil

Cook onion and fennel with raisins, fennel seeds, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in oil in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add water and bring to a vigorous boil. Tightly cover and cook over low heat, undisturbed, until water is absorbed, about 22 minutes.
