Brown rice salad with cumin and currants

Brown Rice Salad with Cumin and Currants is a hearty, flavourful dish combining nutty brown rice with sweet currants and warm, earthy cumin. Often mixed with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, chopped vegetables such as bell peppers or scallions, and finished with a citrusy vinaigrette, this salad is both wholesome and aromatic. It’s perfect as a side dish or a light vegetarian main.

Ingredients

Seeds and pine nuts give a satisfying crunch to this flavoursome rice salad.


Ingredients (serves 4):

1½ cups brown long-grain basmati rice

1/3 cup pine nuts

1/3 cup sunflower seed kernels

3 teaspoons ground cumin

100g currants

5 green onions, diagonally sliced

½ cup fresh coriander leaves

For the dressing:

Finely grated rind of 1 orange

2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

1½ tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Cook rice according to directions on packet. Drain, rinse under cold running water, drain well. Place into a large bowl.

Spread pine nuts, sunflower seeds and cumin on an oven tray. Place in the oven for 5 to 8 minutes, shaking the tray once during cooking, or until all ingredients are toasted and aromatic.

To make dressing: Place all ingredients into a screw-top jar and shake well to combine.

Add dressing, toasted nuts mixture, currants and green onions to rice. Toss together to combine. Cover and refrigerate until cooled to room temperature.
