Method
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan170°C/gas 5. Heat the oil and butter in an ovenproof sauté pan and soften the shallot for 5 minutes, allowing it to colour a little. Stir in the cumin seeds for the final minute. Stir through the rice and almonds.
- Pour over the stock, add the lime leaves, season, then bring to the boil. Cover with a tight-fitting lid or foil. Cook in the oven for 20 minutes until the rice is tender and the stock absorbed. Adjust the seasoning. Keep covered until ready to serve.
