When I’m feeling a little run down and need nourishing comfort food, I head to the kitchen and make my congee. Slow Cooked Brown Rice Congee With Ginger + Shallots which is featured in my cookbook Purely Delicious is the perfect warming dish to keep you feeling healthy. Serve steaming hot in generous bowls, enjoy the goodness and instantly feel the healing benefits of this magnificent yet simple soup. Ginger is a potent detoxifying and antiviral herb that helps the body get rid of toxins, stimulates circulation and boosts your immune system. It’s regarded as a natural antibiotic for the body and helps to reduce congestion and mucous production. Brown rice is kind to the digestive system and great for people with food sensitivities. It is rich in B vitamins for energy and nurturing for body and soul.
