Greetings dear friends, welcome to my blog. Today I am once again joining the weekly contest Qurator's: Hive Top Chef! | Rice. The star ingredient in this week's recipe is rice, which is very versatile in the kitchen as it is the perfect accompaniment to both plant-based and animal-based proteins. It also plays an important role in desserts and drinks.
This week I feel at a disadvantage in the contest because we haven't had water in the city for five days. Let's hope this situation is resolved soon. I would have liked to innovate in gastronomy by creating an unusual rice recipe. However, I had to adapt to the limited supply of this vital liquid, which is why I prepared a mixed rice dish with ingredients from the sea and land that I had at home. I was relieved and happy when I saw that rice was the ingredient of the week. I didn't go out to buy anything because I was really limited financially and also with the water service, but I didn't want to miss out on participating. I hope you like the recipe.
