Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 oranges
1/4 cup (or more) fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam; optional)
2 cups black rice (preferably Lotus Foods Forbidden Rice)
Kosher salt
2 just-ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, cut into 1/2" dice
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 cup finely chopped red onion (about 1/2 large onion)
1/2 cup unsalted, dry-roasted peanuts
6 scallions, thinly sliced
2 jalapeños, seeded, minced

Steps:

  • Remove peel and white pith from oranges. Working over a medium bowl to catch juices and using a small sharp knife, cut between membranes to release orange segments into bowl. Squeeze membranes over bowl to release any juices. Strain juices through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl; reserve orange segments.
  • Add 1/4 cup lime juice, oil, and fish sauce (if using) to bowl with orange juice; whisk to blend. Set dressing aside.
  • Bring rice and 2 3/4 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Season lightly with salt. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until all liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 25 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let stand, covered, for 15 minutes. Spread out rice on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with dressing, and season lightly with salt; let cool.
  • Place mangoes and remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Add rice and toss gently to combine. Season lightly with salt and more lime juice, if desired.

MANGO AND COCONUT RICE SALAD



Mango and Coconut Rice Salad image

Everybody knows now that the undisputed king of mangoes is the Indian Alphonso. It is intensely sweet and has an unbeatable perfumed aroma. I'd go as far as saying that you haven't tasted a real mango until you've tried an Alphonso (and nobody is paying me for this). The season, though, is very short-mid-April to the end of May-so try to prepare this salad then.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

2/3 cup jasmine or basmati rice
1 tsp unsalted butter
Salt
1/2 cup water
1 cup loosely packed Thai basil
1 cup Camargue red rice
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 tbsp mint leaves, roughly chopped
2/3 cup cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 fresh red chile, seeded and finely chopped
Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 large mango or 2 smaller ones, cut roughly into 1-inch dice
1/2 cup roasted salted peanuts, roughly chopped
2/3 cup flaked coconut
2 tbsp peanut oil
3/4 cup crisp-fried shallots (homemade or bought, optional)

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.

Tips:

  • Always rinse black rice thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any dirt, debris, or excess starch.
  • Black rice takes longer to cook than white rice. Be sure to follow the package instructions, or use the following method: rinse 1 cup of black rice and add it to a medium saucepan with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Black rice can be used in a variety of dishes, including salads, pilafs, stir-fries, and soups. It can also be used as a side dish or as a bed for grilled or roasted meats or fish.
  • Black rice is a good source of fiber, protein, and antioxidants. It is also gluten-free.
  • If you don't have black rice on hand, you can substitute brown rice or wild rice.

Conclusion:

Black rice is a delicious, nutritious, and versatile grain that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and antioxidants, and it is also gluten-free. If you are looking for a healthy and flavorful alternative to white rice, black rice is a great option.
