Chef tips
To keep the toasted bread perfectly crisp, pour the garlic and vinegar sauce just before serving. This creates an irresistible blend of textures in every single bite. For a festive touch, top the rice with pine nuts or sliced almonds toasted in a little oil. It adds a wonderful crunch and an elegant look to this family favorite.
