Australian Rice Recipes

Australian cuisine — Pavlova, lamingtons, ANZAC biscuits — iconic recipes from down under — brings its own distinctive techniques and seasonings to every ingredient it touches. When Australian cooks work with rice, they reach for its own regional aromatics, fats and signature spice blends, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are simmering, baking, boiling and frying.

The everyday grain for half the planet — a neutral base that soaks up the flavours around it, from pilafs to fried rice. In this collection it's most often cooked with fine sea salt, garlic, olive oil, coconut milk, dried oregano and yellow onion. The dishes here span australian classics ready in as little as 40 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.
