Recipe
Rice
- 1 cup wild rice, rinsed
- 3 cups vegetable stock
- 1 large avocado, wedged
- 1/ 2 head broccoli, 1/2 inch steaks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/ 2 teaspoon salt
- Pepper, to taste
- 1/ 4 cup activated pecans
- 1/ 4 cup goji berries
Dressing
- 1/ 4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
Method
Step 1
Add rice and stock to a medium saucepan. Bring to the boil, and cook on medium heat (partly covered) for approx 45 mins, or until water has evaporated. Once cooked, rinse and set aside to cool.
Step 2
Whisk together olive oil, lemon salt and pepper. Heat a medium skillet, and brush oil mixture over both sides of broccoli. Cook on the hot skillet for 3-4 mins each side.
Step 3
Meanwhile, mix dressing ingredients together. For best results, use a blender (I use a stick blender)- you can use spoon, but you won't get a completely emulsified dressing.
Step 4
Add cooled rice, pecans, goji berries, avocado and cooked broccoli to a bowl. Stir through dressing, and top with micro herbs (optional) and serve immediately
