Steps:
- Combine the rice, vegetable stock and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Stir in the apricots and shallot during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Spread the rice in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Make the vinaigrette: Whisk together the vinegar, curry powder, honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until combined.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan bring 4 quarts water to a boil, stir in the rice and the salt, stirring until the water returns to a boil, and boil the rice for 10 minutes. Drain the rice in a large sieve and rinse it. Set the sieve over a large saucepan of simmering water and steam the rice, covered with a folded kitchen towel and the lid, for 15 minutes, or until it is fluffy and dry. Transfer the rice to a very large bowl and let it cool to lukewarm.
- In a small bowl whisk together 1 1/2 teaspoons of the curry powder, the vinegar, the oil, and salt to taste, add the vinaigrette to the rice, and toss the mixture well. Stir in the raisins and the cantaloupe. In a blender blend the yogurt, the chutney, and the remaining 1 teaspoon curry powder until the dressing is smooth, pour the dressing over the rice mixture, and toss the salad well. Chill the salad, covered, for 1 hour. The salad may be made 2 days in advance and kept covered and chilled. Serve the salad sprinkled with the peanuts.

CURRIED CHICKEN RICE SALAD
About 30 years ago, I got this recipe from a pamphlet at a Visitor's Center just over the Mississippi River from Mississippi into Arkansas. It has been a summer mainstay ever since. The time required assumes you already have cooled cooked rice. Also, I go heavy on the pineapple and use a whole can rather than 1 cup.

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.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, wash and chop your fruits, vegetables, and herbs. This will save you time and make the cooking process smoother.
- Cook your rice ahead of time: If you can, cook your rice the day before or at least a few hours before you plan to make the salad. This will give the rice time to cool and firm up, making it easier to handle.
- Use fresh, ripe peaches: The fresher and riper the peaches, the better your salad will taste. Look for peaches that are fragrant and have a slight give when you press them gently.
- Don't overcook the rice: Overcooked rice will be mushy and ruin the texture of your salad. Cook the rice according to the package directions, and then drain and rinse it with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a variety of textures: This salad has a nice mix of textures, from the tender rice and peaches to the crunchy celery and walnuts. You can add other crunchy ingredients, such as chopped almonds or sunflower seeds, if you like.
- Make it your own: This salad is very versatile, so feel free to add or subtract ingredients to suit your taste. For example, you could add some chopped cooked chicken or shrimp, or swap out the celery for another crunchy vegetable, such as shredded carrots.
Conclusion:
This peachy curried rice salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its sweet and savory flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or picnic.
