Rice & Spice

All serve 4-6

Plain white rice is a canvas on which to paint a meal, perhaps with a turmeric-tinted curry, emerald vegetables and scarlet slash of chilli sauce. Sometimes, though, you might want something a little showier, so here is a panoply of ways for rice to step forward to co-star alongside any of the recipes in this book. Spices have a wonderful ability to work together, so look for one or two overlaps in flavour, then be bold with your pairings.
