Where to find ingredients
You can find all fresh produce and canned goods such as sweetcorn, peas, and mixed vegetables in the produce and pantry aisles of local Irish supermarkets. For the best flavour, select ripe, seasonal tropical fruits available in the fresh fruit section. Feel free to use cooked shrimp or prawns from the fish counter as a protein substitute.
Preparation method
- Heat the margarine in a large saucepan and sauté the chopped onion over medium heat until slightly translucent
- Add the prawns, carrot, green beans, peppers, sweetcorn, mixed vegetables, peas, and chicken stock cubes, stirring well and adjusting the salt
- In a large serving dish, combine the cooked rice, chopped fruits, and the sautéed vegetable mixture, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the entire surface of the assembled rice
- Finish by garnishing the dish with fresh parsley or coriander leaves before serving at the table
Observations
This colourful rice is an excellent way to repurpose leftover cooked rice into a unique and satisfying meal. The mix of sautéed vegetables combined with the freshness of mango, apple, and pineapple creates an irresistible sweet and savoury profile that the whole family will enjoy. If you prefer a version with more protein, feel free to toss in some grilled prawns during the sauté process.
