Coriander/Cilantro Rice

Whenever I make a curry this is the rice I serve with it and it is always a winner. The recipe below is for one cup of rice which will be enough for two people. You can just adjust the recipe if you need to make a bigger amount.

You will need:
1. One cup of rice ( I use long grain rice or you may use basmati)
2. Half a white onion finely chopped
3. A handful of coriander/cilantro finely chopped.
4. Salt

1. I would advise to cook your rice well before you start to make the coriander rice so that the rice will be cool because if you make it with warm rice the rice will become mushy :/. You may even use leftover white rice if you have. If I know that I am going to make this rice for supper and I don't have leftover rice then I will cook the rice the morning already.
2. Braise the onion in sunflower oil till nice and brown but not burnt. ( You may add a teaspoon of butter for extra flavour)
3. Add the chopped coriander and stir through then add about a half teaspoon of salt and stir through.
4. Add your cooled cooked rice and stir through until the rice is fully combined with the onion and coriander mixture.
5. Taste your rice to see if it has enough salt.
6. Serve

Chicken Quiche

For the base:
100g cake flour
100g cheddar cheese
100g butter
Process all of the above ingredients together until it forms into a ball. Remove from processor, cling wrap it and let it firm up in the fridge for at least 1/2 hour

The Filling:
1. Half a white onion chopped.
2. One chicken fillet cut into small cubes
3. About 4 big spinach leaves chopped up
4. Five peppadews chopped or you can use red or yellow pepper. If you using red or yellow pepper then a half will be enough
5. One heaped teaspoon chicken braai spice (Spice City). You may use a BBQ spice or dried crushed chillies.
6. Salt to taste.

Making the Filling:
1. Braise the onion in some oil till lightly brown.
2. Add the pepperdews or pepper and braise with onions for a about 2-3 min.
3. Add the chicken and spice and cook until done.
4. Add the spinach and cook until it has  wilted completely. Then finally season to taste.

Roll out the dough onto a floured surface till its the same size as the quiche tin and place inside your quiche tin.
Once the Filling has cooled spread the Filling evenly over the dough.
In a jug mix together one cup of milk, three eggs salt and pepper. Not too much salt because your Filling already has salt. Pour this mixture over the  filling.
Bake in pre-heated oven at 180 degree until done.
