Ingredients

• 300 g basmati rice (or other long-grain rice)
• 800 g water
• 1 small onion (approx. 80g), quartered
• 10 g olive oil

• 40 g hummus (approx. 2 tablespoons)
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• 150 g lettuce, washed and roughly torn

Instructions

1. Place rice in the simmering basket and rinse thoroughly under cold running water. Set aside.

3. Carefully remove the simmering basket with the aid of the spatula and set aside to drain. Empty the mixing bowl.

6. Add 20 g vodka. Cook 2 min / 100°C / Speed 1, with the simmering basket placed on the lid instead of the measuring cup, to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
