This Italian starter is typically served as an antipasto, a light dish served before the main meal that's intended to whet the appetite.

Ingredients:

360ml water
120ml tomato juice
200g uncooked rice
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
400g tin artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
210g roasted peppers, drained and chopped
70g black olives, sliced
2 tbsp fresh parsley
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Method:

Combine the water, tomato juice, rice, basil, oregano and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to the boil and stir once or twice. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed. Add the artichokes, peppers, olives, parsley, lemon juice and black pepper.

Cook for a further 5 minutes then spoon onto a serving dish, sprinkle with cheese and serve.
