Black Rice

Black rice is treasured for its nutritional values, exquisite burgundy-purple colour when cooked, chewy texture and a rich, nutty flavour. It creates a striking contrast in any dish and is often prepared as a dessert, such as black rice pudding.

Method

  • Place rice in a medium saucepan, wash 2-3 times with cold water; strain and place back in saucepan. Add 3½ cups of the chicken stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 30-35 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Allow to stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Lightly fluff with a fork and set aside.

  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan or paella pan over a medium/high heat. Cook chorizo, stirring for 1 minute or until lightly golden. Add chicken and onion and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add garlic and capsicum, cook for 2 minutes longer or until softened. Add paprika and squid and stir for 1 minute.

  • Reduce heat to medium. Add peas and rice and toss gently. Stir in remaining stock. Arrange remaining seafood on top of rice. Cover tightly with a lid or foil. Simmer for 6 minutes or until prawns are just cooked and crustaceans are open.

  • Top with tomatoes and parsley. Serve with lemon slices.
