This rice dish is for those days when we grill, when we want a rice dish that is both easy and quick. It is recommended to soak basmati rice for at least an hour, so the grains will become elongated during cooking. However, for this dish we usually skip this step or let the rice soak for just the amount of time needed to prepare the rest of the ingredients, which is about 20 minutes to half an hour.

This is a vegan dish and it would a great accompaniment to grilled vegetables. We did not add any vegetables to the rice since we were planning to serve it with a vegetable topping.

This rice is very flavourful and has an irresistible aroma. Just ask the poor fellows who had to endure the aroma wafting from the microwave as we heated up the rice in the lunch room, the next day.
