This pepper and garlic rice is perfect for winter, which is quite versatile. It pairs equally well with an Indian curry or a Chinese gravy or stir fried dish or even chutney. It’s bursting with a sharp garlic flavour and takes no more than 10 minutes to put together. This can be enjoyed as a one pot meal or great for packed lunch

Health benefits:

Let the fresh minced or crushed garlic sit for about 15 minutes before using it in order to build up a greater amount of allicin, which acts as virus buster.
