Ingredients

2 tbsp Calendula petals, fresh or dried (grown in the garden)
1 Onion, finely chopped (grown in the garden)
300 g Basmati rice
20 g Butter
600 ml Vegetable stock
1/2 tsp Salt

Green items are crops you can grow yourself.

Method

Rinse the rice until the water runs clear.
Melt the butter and soften the onion for 5 minutes.
Add the rice and most of the calendula petals and stir for 1 minute, then add the stock and salt.
Cover and simmer very gently for 12 minutes, then rest off the heat for 5 minutes.
Fluff with a fork and scatter over the remaining petals. Calendula gives a golden colour and a mild, peppery flavour, a traditional cheaper substitute for saffron.
