Mango And Basmati Rice Salad Recipes

MANGO-CUCUMBER RICE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring until tender, 25 to 35 minutes (depending on the rice blend).
• Meanwhile, bring a separate saucepan of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the quinoa and cook until tender, about 12 minutes.
• Drain the grains and rinse under cold water until cool; shake off the excess water.
• Whisk the lime juice and zest, the peanut oil, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Add the rice mixture, mango, cucumber, jalapeno, scallions, cilantro and peanuts and stir to combine. Season with salt.

MANGO AND BASMATI RICE SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl stir rice in cool water, drain.
• Repeat several times until water is no longer cloudy.
• Drain well.
• Combine rice and 2 1/3 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, turn the heat to low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Do not stir while cooking, do not overcook.
• Take pot off of heat source, leave cover on to cool.
• When the rice is cool, separate it with a fork.
• In a large bowl, combine juices, sugar and nutmeg.
• Peel and pit mangoes, dice them into the bowl with the seasoned juices.
• Add the rice into the bowl, mix and salt to your taste.
• I like to add chopped fresh parsley at this point, just until it looks "right".
• Sprinkle with more nutmeg if desired.
• Chill.

MANGO AND COCONUT RICE SALAD

Steps:

• Start by cooking the rice. Put the jasmine rice and butter in a small saucepan and place on a medium heat. Add a little salt, the water and half the Thai basil (keep the leaves attached to the stalk). Bring to the boil, then cover and cook on a slow simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and discard the basil. Spread out the rice on a flat tray to cool down.
• Cook the red rice in plenty of boiling water (as you would cook pasta but with no salt) for 20 minutes, or until it is cooked through. Drain and spread on a tray to cool down.
• Pick off the leaves of the remaining basil and chop them up roughly. Place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the jasmine and red rice together with all the remaining ingredients, apart from the shallots, and stir just to mix; do not stir too much or the mango pieces will disintegrate. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Transfer the salad into serving bowls and garnish with crisp-fried shallots, if you like.
