Looks lovely.

I must have a go at making that rice, but it'll probably turn to mush
Any tips?

Here's the recipe I use (serves 2):
*1 cup of rice
*2 cups of boiling water
1 finely chopped onion
1 crushed clove of garlic
½ a finely chopped red pepper
½ a finely chopped green pepper
1 finely chopped tomato
*1 chicken stock cube
A handful of frozen peas
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp turmeric
½ tsp paprika
A pinch of chilli powder
Olive oil

Sauté the chopped onion, garlic and chopped peppers in the oil in a large saucepan for a few minutes then add the tomato, cumin, turmeric, chilli powder and paprika cook gently for 2-3 minutes.
Add rice and boiling water along with the peas and stock cube.
Bring to the boil and them simmer until all of the water is almost absorbed, then turn off the heat and leave for 10 minutes. You'll need to stir it regularly as it sticks to the bottom of the pan and burns very easily.

*Lately though, I often cook everything but the rice in a pan. I cook a bag of Aldi boil-in-the-bag rice separately with the stock cube thrown into that pot, then drain it and add to the rest when it's all cooked. The rice isn't as wet that way.

It looks like you've left the tops on the carrots. Why? Can't eat them. I've seen restaurants do this, but more for show than go, Shirley?

Well they say you eat with your eyes too, and they look prettier
