This fragrant fennel rice with golden raisins is a sophisticated vegan side dish that brings a delicate sweetness and crunch to your dinner table. The combination of slow-cooked fennel and lightly crushed seeds offers a subtle aniseed aroma, which is beautifully balanced by the juicy bursts of golden raisins. It is an elegant way to elevate simple white rice into something truly special, providing a light yet complex flavour profile that works perfectly alongside roasted vegetables or grilled protein.
Quick to prepare and naturally gluten-free, this wholesome rice dish is a versatile addition to your plant-based repertoire. The method uses a clever tea towel steaming technique to ensure the grains remain perfectly fluffy and separate every time. Whether you are serving it as part of a Mediterranean-inspired feast or as a healthy midweek accompaniment, this homemade provides a nutritious balance of savoury vegetables and sweet fruit.
