To make this scrumptious rice recipe, place a saucepan over high flame and boil the water. In another saucepan placed over medium flame, heat the butter along with oil.

Once hot enough, turn up the heat and add the onion along with red pepper. Stir fry until softened or slightly browned.

After about 6 minutes, reduce the heat, add the rice and mix well. Then, add the boiling water to the rice and stir again. Season with salt to taste.

Once it reaches the simmering point, i.e. just before it starts boiling, cover the pan with the lid and let it cook.

After about 40 minutes, turn off the heat and leave the rice undisturbed for 15 minutes.

Once done, your Red Rice is ready. Garnish with spring onions and water cress. Serve hot!
