'Martha Goes Green' is a great little cookbook that my friend once lent me, warning me that the brown rice salad can lead to obsession, of course I made that recipe first.
And then ate it almost every day for a month.
It's pretty damn tasty, plus you can shake it up and make it really exciting. Have no money? Preaching to the choir sister. Try putting all those leftovers in your fridge into it and pretend you're being quirky.
Ingredients:
Cup of brown rice
1/2 cup of corn kernels
2 celery sticks, thinly sliced
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/3 cup parsley, chopped
For the dressing:
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tbs balsamic vinegar
1 glove garlic, minced
1 tbs agave syrup
1 tsp curry powder
Squeeze of lemon juice
Salt and pepper
How to:
Put the brown rice on first because it takes forever to cook. 1 cup of rice = 2 cups of water.
For the dressing, just add all the ingredients together into a little jar, screw on the lid and give it a good shake. Leave it there to marinate.
Soak the raisins in boiling water for about 5 or 10 minutes until they expand and go soft.
Put all the other salad ingredients into a big mixing bowl, add the raisins, the cooked brown rice (don't forget to cool it done first) and the salad dressing. Mix them all together.
Good luck with your new found food addiction.
