Black Rice

Black rice is treasured for its nutritional values, exquisite burgundy-purple colour when cooked, chewy texture and a rich, nutty flavour. It creates a striking contrast in any dish and is often prepared as a dessert, such as black rice pudding.

Method

  • Cook the rice following absorption instructions on the packet, remove from the heat, spoon into a colander. Refresh rice in cold water, set aside in colander to drain really well. Transfer to a large bowl.

  • Add the peach, cucumber, onion, parsley and walnuts to the rice. Drizzle over olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and stir gently to coat.

  • Arrange the butter lettuce over a large serving platter. Spoon over the rice and serve. Serving suggestion: Serve with ham, turkey or roast chicken.
