Prep time: 15 MinCook time: 2 MinTotal time: 17 Min

Guests arrive in 10 minutes, the BBQ is hot, but what sides have you prepared? This one has you covered.

Ingredients

• 2tbsp Basmati Rice, uncooked
• 800g Persian & English Cucumbers, Chopped and sliced
• 4 tbsp Lime Juice
• 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
• 2 tbsp Fish Sauce (substitute vegan if required)
• 2 tbsp Sesame Oil
• 2 Green Chillies, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp Demerara Suga
• Fresh Coriander & Mint (or any garden soft herbs)

Instructions

1. Toast the rice over a medium heat in a dry pan, once it turns light golden and smells nutty, remove, cool a little then blitz to the texture of coarse sand. Set aside.
2. Add the cucumbers to a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk all the remaining ingredients aside from the herbs.
3. Spoon over the cucumbers, toss into a large bowl, fork through the herbs and sprinkle with the toasted rice. Serve with 3 minutes to spare (time for a glass of wine…)
