In the meantime, run cold water over the rice in a large pan and then give it a good rinse in a sieve until the water runs clear. Fill the pan with water until it reaches your first knuckle when the tip of your finger touches the rice. Bring it to a boil for 2 minutes over a high heat. Once it starts to boil, lower the heat, pop a lid on, and simmer for 12 minutes. Turn off the heat, remove the lid, and leave the rice to steam and cool.

To serve, toss the mint and parsley leaves through the yoghurt. Top the roasted carrots and onions with the yoghurt dressing, and scatter with capers to finish.
