Rachel'S Fruity Rice Salad

• 1 cup plain long grain rice
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/4 cup raisins
• salt & pepper
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1 teaspoon peri-peri
• 2 tablespoons chunky fruit chutney
• 125 g canned peaches
• 1 medium white onion
• 1 green pepper (capsicum)
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or to taste, careful not too much as will be too soggy)
• 1 bunch chopped fresh parsley

1. PREPARATION.
2. Bring adequate (two cups?) amount of salted water to rolling boil, add rice, turmeric & raisins.
3. Stir so that turmeric mixes into rice and can be absorbed, bring rice back to boil, then turn right down to simmer covered for rest of cooking time (10 - 12 minutes?).
4. Once rice is cooked, rinse/drain; set aside to cool.
5. Finely chop both green pepper & white onion.
6. Chunky chop (not fine) half of the peaches from the can.
7. Add pepper, onion, peaches, cayenne pepper/peri peri, chutney, mayonnaise, salt & pepper to rice turning ingredients into rice gently so as not to mash rice.
8. Garnish with parsley.
9. VARIATIONS.
10. Try adding 1/4 cup brown rice which would need cooking separately as it takes longer to cook. just stir into plain rice before adding other ingredients.
11. Using a tablespoon of either lemon or lime juice gives this dish a nice twist, or even try using lemon or lime rind for an extra zing.
