Nutty Brown Rice

This aromatic nutty brown rice offers a sophisticated twist on a simple side dish. By simmering short-grain rice until tender and then tossing it through foaming butter and toasted mixed nuts, you create a dish with a wonderful depth of flavour and a satisfying, chewy texture. A subtle hint of grated nutmeg provides a warm, earthy finish that perfectly complements the golden, caramelised notes of the butter.

As a hearty vegetarian accompaniment, this recipe is incredibly versatile and pairs beautifully with roasted root vegetables, grilled halloumi or a fresh seasonal salad. It is an excellent way to introduce more whole grains and healthy fats from the nuts into your weekly meal rotation, providing a comforting yet nutritious addition to any dinner table.
