From all of us here at Eat Sum More, we would like to wish everyone who is observing Yom Kippur today – have an easy fast and g’mar chatima tovah!

The fall season is almost here and with it brings us those autumn chilly nights. It also brings us warm sweaters, crisp leaves, ripe apples and everything pumpkin spice!

We have the perfect assortment of teas to warm you up on the upcoming cool evenings – Freshpak Rooibos Tea, Joko Tea and Five Roses Tea. If you are a Rooibos drinker, we have a beautiful Freshpak container, designed by Esther Mahlangu, which is great to store your Rooibos or to give as a gift to someone.

This is a time-honoured South African recipe, which comes from the great culinary tradition of the Cape Malays way back in the 17th century. It’s easy to make, and is deliciously paired with meats like venison, corned beef, traditional Bobotie or really, any preferred meat and gravy.
INGREDIENTS:

• 1000 g water
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp Cartwright’s Curry Powder
• 300 g long grain white rice
• 40 g raisins
• 1 cinnamon quill
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp brown sugar

DIRECTIONS:
In a saucepan, combine the rice, salt, curry powder, sugar, cinnamon, raisins, butter and water. Bring to a boil uncovered. When it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and let it simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until rice is fluffy and water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and fluff with a fork. Keep warm until serving time.
