- 06
Cover and cook over very low heat for 12 minutes, keeping the pot at a gentle simmer.
- 07
Continue covered for 5–8 minutes until the rice is tender; add a splash of water if the liquid evaporates too soon.

Rest off the heat for 5 minutes; make sure chicken, turkey and mince are fully cooked and fish and prawns are opaque throughout, fluff and serve.
