Recently a friend reminded me I have not make my special crispy shallots rice for a long time. Years! This is because garlic and crispy shallots rice is very moreish and extremely bad for diabetic I peeled a lorry load of shallots and made shallots crisps the other day and I just have to cook the rice to satisfy my craving.

I decided today is the day I treat myself! Tomorrow I will abstain from carbohydrates and sugar both.

I ate a whole bowl of rice and really wanted more so I had another scope. Sacrilege but I can just eat the rice without and accompaniments.
