Biona Organic Camargue Red Rice, 500g

Product Information

The sort of vegetarian who, when we were out, would finish my hamburgers and slices of pepperoni pizza because it was “better than wasting”. The red Camargue rice came about through a natural mutation and is now world famous; in 2000 this high-quality organic product was granted protected geographical indication (PGI) status. In our five years together, I saw first-hand how thoroughly vegans and vegetarians are treated as a fussy nuisance or an afterthought at holiday gatherings. It's known for its nutty, earthy flavor and chewy texture, and it's a great source of nutrients, including protein, fiber, and a variety of vitamins and minerals.

In addition to having excellent taste and texture characteristics, red rice is considered healthy alternative to white pulled because of its higher nutritional value. I cook it as the French do, like pasta, in a huge pot of salted boiling water until it is al dente, and then I drain it in a colander. These ‘Nyons’ variety that I bought at the market were in perfect condition to make into the sauce for the evening’s supper.

And it's rooted in the wisdom of my Grandma Milly, the woman who first taught me to appreciate life's many pleasures. Job nearly done here, I realise I have been so absorbed in lapping up the seasons fresh produce I have completely forgotten to visit one of my favourite chocolate makers Joel Durad in Saint Remy…oh well maybe next time. To introduce new and interesting flavours, try adding a cao guo pod - Chinese black cardamom - to the pan of simmering water as the rice cooks. Each and every month - and possibly twice at Christmas - we send out every food lover's favourite newsletter.

As a serving suggestion, cook the rice with savoury cinnamon (cassia) and a black cardamom for added flavour.

Some of the salt that is harvested there is used to produce Fleur de Sel de Camargue, a hand raked salt that has the faint aroma of violets. To cook, rinse the French Camargue red rice under the tap before adding one cup of rice for every two of water into a pan. First put the rice in the frying pan with a level teaspoon of salt, then pour in 1 pint (570 ml) boiling water, bring it back up to simmering point, then put a lid on and let it cook very gently for 40 minutes.

Originating from the wetlands of southern France, Camargue rice has an intense, nutty flavour and a chewy texture that adds that little something extra to your cooking.
