Recipe : Ruelha’s Special Beetroot Fried Rice

Looks delightful!

Inhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA

Well, I’m unique 😉 so I tend to do things differently too. I follow a different method to make fried rice. The way do it is by soaking the vegetables in a vinaigrette solution to draw out their distinct flavours so they blend well in the rice instead of just within themselves. I discovered this technique when I had to come up with ways to salvage leftover salads. We used to consume a lot of vinaigrette salads at home and invariably, there’d be leftovers. Veggies get limp and soggy once the dressing is mixed so I just used up all that dressing and salad along with my leftover boiled/steamed rice and viola – this dish was born. It’s been a whole decade since I completely changed the way I make any variant of fried rice now.

Ingredients:

  • 1 beetroot
  • 1/4 cabbage, cubed
  • 2 capsicums, thickly sliced
  • Plus any other vegetable…

Team Navalny members detained in multiple Russian cities over the past two days — Meduza

The authorities in multiple Russian cities have detained several members of “Team Navalny” over the past two days. Moreover, on April 12, two employees of the newly opened campaign headquarters in Makhachkala were reported missing. These arrests and disappearances have been accompanied by searches of the Team Navalny headquarters in St. Petersburg and Voronezh, while the campaign office in Murmansk was left with property damage after a break-in.

The Belfast violence shows young working-class people have been failed again | Northern Irish politics | The Guardian

In 1998, when I was 10 years old, my generation was told that peace was within reach, that the new Northern Ireland assembly would finally allow the people of this place to govern themselves. The devolution of policing and justice arrived after a number of false starts, and for a while, all seemed calm – yet much of it was held together by naivety and hope. The conflict may have ended, but the fighting didn’t. The fight for jobs, education, mental health and addiction support, for housing and investment continued on and on, with the political establishment across these islands simply equating the absence of violence with success of the peace process.

Except there was no process – there was war and then there was peace – the transition between the two didn’t manifest as a benefit to working-class communities across Northern Ireland in any real or meaningful way.
