Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

Servings: 4

200 g short-grain rice

600 ml skimmed milk

Big pinch ground nutmeg

1 tbsp clear honey (Plus extra to serve)

140 g soft ready-to-eat dried apricots (Roughly chopped)

1 orange zest and juice

4 tbsp unsweetened Greek yoghurt

Handful toasted sliced almonds

Steps

STEP 1

Put the rice, milk and nutmeg into a large microwaveable bowl. Cover with cling film, pierce it, then cook on High for 5 mins. Stir and leave to stand for 1 min, then return to the microwave for a further 5-6 mins or until the rice is cooked and all the milk absorbed. Remove from the microwave and stand for a further 2 mins.

STEP 2

Put the honey, apricots and orange juice into another microwaveable bowl and cook on High for 1 min until the apricots have plumped up. Stir the syrupy apricots, fromage frais and a pinch of orange zest into the rice. Serve straight away in bowls, topped with a sprinkling of almonds, a little more orange zest and a drizzle of honey to taste.
