Olive vegetable with lime fried rice

Another one of jo's inventions :)

Olive vegetable with lime fried rice (Serves 6)

(This was obviously not the picture of the rice I had but is rather more for visual purposes.)

Ingredients:

chopped garlic
chopped onion
3 cups rice
pepper
180g olive vegetable (available at any groceries)
300g minced meat
raisins
pine nuts (I omitted this but was told that this could have given an added flavour to the rice)
chopped spring onion
lettuce (in small streaks) (optional)
lime (optional but highly recommended)

Steps:

1) Prepare the white rice. When it has been cooked, cool the rice and add in some pepper to bring flavours to the rice.

2) In a frying pan, pour out a small dose of the olive oil from the canned vegetable and add more vegetable oil if its not enough. Fry the garlic til it turns golden brown before adding in the onion into the pan. Be sure that it is on low fire.

3) Add the meat into the mixture till its fully cooked, add in the cooked rice and the olives. Add in the raisins, pine nuts and stir until the rice is properly mixed.

(No salt or soy sauce should be needed since the olive would give be salty enough :) )

4) Next, stir in the spring onion. You would be able to smell the fragrance almost immediately, on top of the nice visuals.

5) Before serving, garnish with as much lettuce as you want and squeeze lime juice onto each small portions of rice. It is sure to whet your appetite. Serve hot.
