Ingredients (serves 4)
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 brown onion, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups brown rice
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lime rind
- 1/3 slivered almonds, toasted (in a frying pan until light brown)
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup pitted olives, chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, torn
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
Method
- In a large saucepan, heat the oil. Cook the onion until soft, and almost translucent. Add the brown rice, garlic and lime rind. Stir to coat.
- Add the chicken stock, and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat. Turn down to a simmer, and cover. Cook for 50 minutes or until the rice is tender and the stock has been absorbed.
- In a small bowl, place the ingredients for the dressing; the lime juice, white wine vinegar, garlic cloves, and dijon mustard. Stir to combine.
- Add the remaining ingredients, along with the dressing to the rice and stir to combine. Transfer to a large serving platter or bowl and serve warm.
