Steps
- 1Rinse the rice in a sieve until the water runs clear and leave to drain — washing off the surface starch keeps the grains separate.
- 2Heat the oil in a wide pan with a lid over medium heat and cook the onion, carrot and pepper for 5–6 minutes until soft.
- 3Add the rice and stir for 2–3 minutes until the grains turn translucent and smell toasty.
- 4Pour in the hot water, add the peas, sweetcorn, salt and pepper and bring to the boil.
- 5Cover, turn the heat to the lowest setting and cook for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
- 6Take off the heat and leave covered for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork and stir in the parsley.
