HERBY RICE SALAD WITH PEAS AND PROSCIUTTO
This bright, lemony salad laced with fresh herbs is a passport to spring. Simmering the rice in plenty of salted water just until it's al dente and then cooling it well is key. Blanched fresh peas are terrific if you can find them, but frozen work just fine. The trick is marinating them in lemony olive oil, a technique borrowed from the Michigan chef Abra Berens, who uses it in her comprehensive book "Ruffage: A Practical Guide to Vegetables" (Chronicle Books, 2019). The prosciutto adds a nice salty hit, but you could sub in a dollop of creamy ricotta or leave both out for your vegan friends. Either way, the recipe delivers a bright salad that can stand in for a light meal.

Steps:
- Prepare the rice: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and salt it. Stir in the rice. When the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook the rice at a gentle simmer for about 15 minutes, or until tender but still a bit firm and not at all mushy. Drain the rice in a colander set in the sink, then transfer it to a large bowl. You can refrigerate it after this step or use it once it has cooled completely.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the peas, olive oil, sliced onion, lemon zest and juice, red-pepper flakes and ½ teaspoon salt. Allow to marinate, refrigerated, for 20 minutes or up to 3 days.
- Remove the sliced onion from the pea mixture and discard. Add 5 cups of the cooled or refrigerated rice to the pea mixture, along with the basil, mint, parsley and chives; toss gently to combine. Taste for salt and lemon juice. This is important - get it the way you want it. If the ratio needs a bit more rice, add it from whatever is left. (You should have another cup or so.) You may also wish to add more herbs.
- Serve in shallow bowls, draping a couple of slices of prosciutto alongside for each person. Alternatively, a spoonful of really good ricotta on top is also delicious. Or, serve with both prosciutto and ricotta - although vegetarians and vegans will enjoy this dish without the meat or dairy. Set out lemon wedges to squeeze to taste.

- Choose the right herbs: Different herbs have different flavors, so choose herbs that complement the other ingredients in your dish. For example, basil and oregano are good choices for Italian dishes, while cilantro and cumin are good choices for Mexican dishes.
- Chop the herbs finely: Finely chopped herbs will distribute their flavor more evenly throughout the dish.
- Add the herbs at the right time: When you add the herbs will affect their flavor. Generally, add tender herbs like basil and chives just before serving, while more robust herbs like rosemary and thyme can be added earlier in the cooking process.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to use fresh herbs in cooking. Experiment with different combinations of herbs and see what you like best.
Conclusion:
Rice with fresh herbs is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as a side dish. It's a great way to use up fresh herbs from your garden or farmers market, and it's a healthy and flavorful addition to any meal.
