Method
- Peel the carrots and grate them on the coarse side of the grater. Finely chop the onion. Boil 650 ml of water.
- In a medium pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and soften the onion with a pinch of salt for 3 minutes. Add the grated carrot and cook for 3 minutes, stirring, until it softens.
- Add the long-grain rice and stir for 1 minute to coat it.
- Pour in the boiling water, add the salt, stir once and cook uncovered over medium heat for about 8 minutes, until the water drops to the level of the rice.
- Cover, turn the heat to the lowest setting and leave for 8 minutes. Turn off the heat, rest covered for 5 minutes and fluff with a fork before serving.
Shopping tip
Loose or bagged carrots work the same. Ready-grated carrot from the chilled produce section saves time but is less sweet.
