I didn't see Saturday kitchen but I've got the Rick Stein cook book it's 
from. "Fruits of Rick's Seaside Fish World" or something .

I have done the rice thing and it works, you get a nice crunchy nut texture. 
You need pin point timing when rosting the rice though and a proper thick 
frying pan. A millisecond too soon and it's torched.
