Creamy sweet earthy Swede tossed and fried with delicate nutty rice and red onion garnished with sprigs of parsley.
Grab something creamy and warming down your throat. And, indulge.
This dish will burst any belief that vegan food isn’t easy to rustle up.
Make this:
- As autumn approaches and you need a warming dish that’ll have you cosying up to the fireplace
- When you’re fed up with just plain brown rice and need a dish to spruce up your left overs and add a little colour to your meal
- When got greens vegetables on the go and need a complementary dish to go with it
Swede Fried Rice was inspired one day when left over rice in the fridge looked unappetising. A thought came to jaunty it up with swede and red onion. Colour and flavour burst forwards.
Swede is a root vegetable grown and endures all over the world. It’s a good source of dietary fibre and assist with restoring microflora.
Swede Fried Rice is vegan.
