CURRIED RICE & EGG SALAD



Curried rice & egg salad image

Enjoy this lightly spiced rice and egg salad as a side dish at a summer barbecue or picnic. Top with toasted almonds, grated carrots and sliced cucumbers

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Side dish

Time 37m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tbsp olive or rapeseed oil
1 onion , chopped
2 tbsp mild curry paste (we used korma paste)
1 tsp ground turmeric
300g basmati rice
50g raisins
1 chicken or vegetable stock cube
3 eggs
small bunch of coriander , leaves picked
30g flaked almonds , toasted
2 carrots , grated or finely shredded
½ cucumber , sliced

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onion for 8-10 mins until soft and just turning golden. Boil the kettle. Stir the curry paste, ground turmeric, rice and raisins into the onions. Crumble over the stock cube and pour over enough boiled water from the kettle to cover the rice by ½cm (about 1 litre). Season with some salt. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover the pan, reduce the heat to its lowest setting and cook for 2 mins more. Without taking off the lid, remove from the heat and leave to steam for 15 mins. This will give you perfect, fluffy rice.
  • Meanwhile, bring another pan of water to the boil and cook the eggs for 7 mins. Plunge into a bowl of cold water to stop them cooking and once cool, drain and halve.
  • Tip the rice into a container and chill for at least 1 hr, or up to two days. When you're ready to serve, scatter over the coriander and almonds, and top with the grated carrot, cucumber slices and eggs.

CURRIED RICE SALAD



Curried Rice Salad image

When we lived at Fort Polk, another military wife, Claire, shared this recipe with me after I tasted it at a dinner party she hosted. It is now one of my favorite salads and I am so thankful that she was gracious enough to share her recipe. Prep time assumes you are starting with precooked rice. Cook time is actually the chilling time (although it can chill overnight as well). This makes 6 generous portions or more smaller ones.

Categories     White Rice

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 large fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons olive oil or 2 teaspoons canola oil

3 green onions, minced

green leaf lettuce leaf, garnish
1 tablespoon dry sherry (real stuff - NOT cooking sherry)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon mild curry powder
1/3 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • In a skillet, saute mushrooms in oil over medium heat, stirring often, for about 2 minutes or until soft.
  • Add zucchini slices and green onions and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute (you want the zucchini to still be a bit crisp).
  • Remove cooked veggies into a large mixing bowl and combine with cooked rice, red bell pepper, and parsley.
  • In a small bowl, combine all dressing ingredients except oil.
  • Add oil slowly, while whisking, and blend well.
  • Pour over rice mixture and toss well.
  • Test for seasonings- adjust if necessary for flavor or moisture.
  • Cover and chill (can be chilled overnight if needed).
  • When ready to serve, line a large salad bowl with clean, dry leafy green lettuce leaves and fill with chilled rice salad.
