Ingredients
- 1 Cup wild rice
- 2 1/2 Cups vegetable stock
- 1 Red onion finely diced
- 1 Green pepper diced
- 2 Tomatoes diced
- 1/2 Cup corn
- 3 cloves Garlic crushed
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 Tablespoon cumin
- 1/2 tsp dried chili flakes finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Small bunch of fresh chopped coriander
- Juice of one lime
- 3 Spring onions finely chopped
Instructions
- In a large skillet set over medium heat, add the olive oil, garlic and spice. Stir well until fragrant, about a minute.
- Add the red onions and peppers. Stir well and cook for about 5 minutes until slightly soft.
- Add the tomatoes and stir well. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes.
- Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and add the rice. Give a really good stir to incorporate the rice completely into the vegetables.
- Add the stock and corn, salt and pepper. Stir, cover and leave to fully cook for about 15 minutes or until the liquid has absorbed and the rice is fully cooked.
- Remove from heat. Fluff with a fork, sprinkle over spring onions and squeeze over lime juice. Serve hot.

Notes
- IMPORTANT, do no stir the rice while it's cooking. Stirring will release starch into the water and you will have a more sticky rice in the end.
- If the stock you are using is high in salt, you can omit the salt in the recipe.
