Adding rice to a stew - you can do this, right?

[CharCharGabor]

Fed up of always having potatoes, so I've made a sausage and lentil stew and I thought I'd add some rice near the end. Will this work?

Well I hope it does because I've done it now!

ok thanks hana I'm relieved thought I might have ruined it!

just keep an eye on the juice level as it will soak up a lot of the liquid so you might need to add a touch more stock.

I did add some as it got really thick, and it's turned out perfect! Thanks.

Could use mini pasta or couscous next time too!

oh yes mini pasta, I love adding this soup/stews - drives DH mad!

What time am I due over for my helping of it CharCharGabor?

yep

i do this, makes it really nice and thick and really fills you up

Q.. Do you wash the rice before adding to reduce the starch levels, or just whack it in ?! I only ask as i generally use lentil to thicken the stew.

whack it in

Ta. Whacking tommorrow!
