Fried rice with walnuts, onion and chives
An unexpected day at home, and a craving for something extra for lunch! Well, the first step is to look through the fridge. I found some left over cooked rice and decided it could be a good start for something. With some extra virgin olive oil, a couple of chive boats, the half of an onion and an almost empty box of walnuts, and soon my lunch was finished.
First I fried the chive and the onion in the olive oil, after a while I added half of the walnuts and the rice. The rest of the walnuts I fried in a corner of the frying pan to use for garniture. Eating alone really doesn't mean that the food shall look just plain! With a piece of bread and a few pieces of parma ham I could have a feast together with my book.
I am reading Dervla Murphy's One Foot in Laos. I visited Laos myself a few years ago and fell in love with the sticky rice which were served to all meals. My fried rice was not sticky, but good as well.
Lovely photos! That looks like the kind of lunch I throw together! By the way, thanks again for your help on Goro. I'm going to attempt it the next time I'm in Norge for the holidays.
I live in Trondheim, Norway with my husband and two daughters. Two boys have moved out to create their own homes. I work full time, and have alot of interests, but there is hardly a day when you don't find me in the kitchen, playing with old and new recipes. And if I am not to be find it the kitchen, take a look in The Blue Garden. I am a member of the Slow Food movement and a supporter of the Slower Life.

Your fotos look delicious. But I like the dish you serve the rice. Is it home made too? It looks like my home made pottery.
Best regards
Hello wienermaedel. The "dish" ios made by a Norwegian pottery artist. I got it as a gift some time ago.

Nice to see a blog post on food. I like to eat a phyto-estrogen diet - high in green plants etc.
