From Italian and Turkish, to Spanish and Greek, there’s a rice dish that tells a story of locals and their way of life. Phoebe Wood looks to the Mediterranean to showcase an abundance of flavour and heart.
"Rice may be one of the simplest ingredients, but it can take on a host of textures and flavours, from rich and creamy to light and fresh", says Phoebe Wood.
This Turkish lamb pilaf is sure to impress, and makes the most of that rice in the pantry.
If you thought cream in carbonara was controversial, just wait until you meet our cheesy carbonara risotto. If eating it is wrong, then we don't want to be right.
“Paella is surprisingly easy to make and incredibly flavoursome," says Phoebe Wood.
This classic, creamy Venetian dish makes the most of the rice in your pantry, and is super comforting.
“Traditionally this layered dish is inverted and served upside-down. I’ve baked this in the style of a pilaf, but kept the layers in the rice for little pockets of flavour," says Phoebe Wood.
