Ingredients
  • •

    2 cups Knight rice

  • •

    1 Tbsp fennel seed

  • •

    1 Tbsp lavender

Instructions
  1. 1

    Rinse the Knight rice under cold water until there’s no starch running out of it and the water is clear.

  2. 2

    Put the rice and water in a pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and steam for 35 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes, covered.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the onion and mushrooms and cook until they begin to caramelise.

  4. 4

    Grind the fennel seed and lavender together in a spice grinder. Add it to the onions and mushrooms and toss with the rice.

  5. 5

    Garnish with green onion and serve.
