Kato Indonesian Spice Paste

 

Black Rice & Black Rice Croquettes

Make a dramatic side dish by cooking Black Glutinous Rice with chopped shallots, chicken stock, water and Kato’s Indonesian spice paste. Let the stock evaporate so you are left with a risotto-ish dish. It takes about an hour or so but it is really worth it. I would serve this warm with seared scallops and a drizzle of Kato’s mango and sweet curry dressing.

 

Black Rice Croquettes

If you have any left overs, add an egg, shape into patties or croquettes and shallow fry. These are great served with Kato’s roast plum Thai chutney or any of Kato’s mayonnaises to dip.
