Recipes you can make with rice

Think rice is bland? You’re wrong and here’s how we can prove it. 

Rice has received a bit of a bad reputation in some circles. Gluggy, sticky and generally bland. But we know that it’s not rice that’s in the wrong, it’s our method of cooking it. These rice recipes show that this ingredient is one of the world’s most popular ingredients for a reason. 

Read on for flavoursome rice recipes and a NEFF hack for perfecting fluffy rice in your steam oven.
