Recipe: Savour’s Own Sumptuous Mexican Rice

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Savour's own sumptuous Mexican Rice
Serves 4
I love Mexican food--eating it, and cooking it. But for years one thing eluded me...a good rice side. After countless revisions I've created this version which, whenever served, friends and family can't get enough of.

  8. 2 scant cups chicken Stock
  9. 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
  10. Lime juice (optional)
Instructions
  1. Fry onions in butter over medium heat until they begin to soften. Season with salt and pepper. Add frozen corn and continue cooking 1 - 2 minutes. Add rice and allow to toast in butter until corn takes a toasted colour.

  4. Remove, uncover, gently fluff rice and transfer to platter. Garnish with cilantro and lime juice if using.
