RICE SALAD WITH CURRANTS, ALMONDS AND PISTACHIOS



Rice Salad With Currants, Almonds and Pistachios image

Summer buffets often feature potato salad and pasta salad, but rice salad, quite popular throughout the Mediterranean, is another terrific option to keep in mind. This simple one uses pantry ingredients and is delicious on its own with a bit of salad or with grilled chicken or fish. To keep the rice grains separate, boil the rice in a large pot of water as for pasta.

2 cups short-grain rice, such as arborio
Salt and pepper

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 cup currants, soaked in hot water and drained

RICE PILAF WITH CURRANTS AND PINE NUTS



Rice Pilaf With Currants and Pine Nuts image

This is the rice recipe that I got from my husbands grandmother and made a few changes to it. I won 2nd place in a recipe contest once with this recipe. This is my grandkids favorite recipe to go with my Flank Steak with Red Wine Sauce. It can be made with chicken broth if serving with chicken. I prefer the beef broth flavor the most.

RICE, MINT , PINE NUT SALAD W CURRANTS N CARAMELISED ONIONS



Rice, Mint , Pine Nut Salad W Currants N Caramelised Onions image

A great salad recipe from a borrowed library book- Karen Martine "cooking at home' - a truely delicious book that I would love to own. She suggests that it's great with grilled haloumi, though we enjoyed it with some grilled fish. Toast pine nuts in a dry pan over a medium heat, keep them moving whilst toasting- remove quickly from pan when fragrant and toasted so that they dont burn. You can add in the zest of a lemon if you like a stronger lemon flavour to come through. Cooking time does not include pre-cooking of the brown rice. If liked, you can use the quick cook packeted rice

Categories     Brown Rice

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

125 ml olive oil
3 brown onions, halved and sliced
sea salt, ground
freshly ground black pepper
150 g currants
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 cups cooked brown rice, kept warm
1/2 bunch flat leaf parsley, leaves only
1/2 bunch mint, leaves only
2 green chilies, finely sliced
2 lemons, juiced
120 g pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

  • Using a small saucepan, add currants and just enough of the red wine vinegar to cover them. Boil 3 minutes until the liquid has almost evaporated (reserve the liquid). Set aside.
  • Heat 4 tablespoons (8 teaspoons) of the olive oil, in a large non-stick frypan, using a low heat. Season with salt and pepper and add the onion. Cook, stiriig occasionally for about 20-25 minutes, or until the onion has caramelised. Don't be tempted to turn up the heat,as you want the caramelised flavour to develop slowly.
  • Stir in the currants and vinegar mixture. Set aside.
  • Using a large bowl, add the cooked rice, parsley, mint and chillis. Stir in the lemon juice and the remaining olive oil. Add half of the onion mixture and half of the pine nuts. Toss to combine.
  • Top with the remaining onions and pine nuts to serve.
