Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup / 200g wild rice (makes 1 1/2 cups sprouted rice)
2 tablespoons cold-pressed olive oil
2 tablespoons strong mustard
Grated zest of 1 organic lemon
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
Fine sea salt
2 cups / 300g shelled green peas
1 cup / 165g cooked chickpeas
4 spring carrots, julienned
1/3 cup / 7g chopped fresh chives
1/3 cup / 7g chopped fresh dill
1/3 cup / 40g raw pistachios, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse the rice well, put it in a glass jar or bowl, and cover with fresh, pure water. Let soak on the countertop overnight.
  • 2. In the morning, drain and rinse the rice; then cover it again with fresh water and put the jar in the fridge. Drain and rinse the rice at least twice per day for 2 to 3 days, until it has "bloomed"-some or all of the grains will have split open, and it should be tender enough to eat. Drain and rinse the sprouted rice and put it in a large bowl.
  • 3. Whisk the olive oil, mustard, lemon zest and juice, and maple syrup together in a small bowl, adding a few pinches of sea salt. Pour half of the dressing over the rice and fold to coat. Stir the peas, chickpeas, carrots, and herbs into the rice.
  • 4. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pistachios until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes (be careful not to burn them!). Add the toasted nuts to the salad. Pour the remaining dressing over and fold to combine.
  • Serve.

I loved this recipe! The sprouted wild rice was a great change from regular rice and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I especially liked the addition of pistachios, which added a nice crunch and flavor.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for my taste. I ended up simplifying it by using regular brown rice and omitting the pistachios. It still turned out pretty good, but I think I'll stick to my usual rice recipes in the future.

This recipe was a disappointment. The wild rice was too chewy and the vegetables were bland. I won't be making this again.
