Beth Elon's Italian Rice Salad image

I found this recipe in the weekend paper. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken, or you can poach a chicken breast just for the recipe, it's that good.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups long-grain rice (can be parboiled)
salt
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large egg
1 cup diced cooked chicken
1 cup frozen peas, cooked al dente,and drained
1 small red onion, minced
1 bunch fresh parsley leaves, chopped well
mixed lettuce leaf
1 ripe tomatoes, in wedges

Steps:

  • Bring enough water to cook the rice to a boil in a large saucepan and add about a teapoon of salt.
  • Add the rice, and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
  • Drain well.
  • While the rice is cooking, whisk the vinegar and 2 tablespoons of the oil together.
  • While the rice is still warm, mix in the dressing and set aside.
  • Heat some of the remaining oil in a small pan.
  • Beat the egg and add to make a thin omelet, moving in the sides of the firmed egg as it cooks to allow firming without turning over.
  • When the omelet is fully cooked, remove from flame and chop into small pieces.
  • Season with salt and freshly ground pepper and add to the seasoned rice.
  • Add the diced chicken, the peas, the chopped onion and parsley to the rice and, with two forks, mix well.
  • If the salad seems too dry, add some more olive oil.
  • Taste, and season with some more salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Serve at room temperature on a bed of salad, surrounded by the tomato wedges.
