Jazzing up yer Rice

 








Cook the rice with the quantity of your choice.

I cook mine in Coconut M/Silk which adds a rich flavour. Try to cook it so that some of the liquid remains.

Let the cooked rice cool for a wee bit; then add the cut up pitted dates and add them to the rice.  (More date bits are better than less). 

Throw in a handful or three of slivered almonds.

Stir in the dates and almonds.  Eat hot with the meat, fish, or vegan substitute of your choice. 

The dates add a delightful taste; the almonds add a nice bit of crunch.

Yum land again!

Leftovers are also good.  I eat mine cold.
