Aga Oven Rice
Answer
Dear Marlyne
AGA OVEN RICE
Here is the recipe complete with quantity and timings matrix from The Aga Book by Mary Berry. As you can see, more water is required for brown rice and it also takes considerably longer to cook, but has a delicious nutty flavour and is well worth trying from time to time:
Serves 4
Wash rice and place in a 2 litre Aga pan with the water and salt, bring to the boil, replace the lid and place on the floor of the Simmering Oven for the required time.
RICE RAW WEIGHT WATER SALT TIMING
Basmati 8oz (225g) 12 fl oz (360ml) 1/2 - 1 tsp 15 - 20 mins
Brown 8oz (225g) 14 fl oz (420ml) 1/2 - 1 tsp 40 - 45 mins
Long Grain (Easy Cook/par boiled) 8oz (225g) 12 fl oz (360ml) 1/2 - 1 tsp 15 - 20 mins
Best Wishes
