Curry Rice Salad
Originally found at Simply Recipes
1 to 1 1/2 cups brown rice
one large yellow onion, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp curry powder (mild)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
few drops of sesame oil
Bunch of cilantro, chopped
1 cup raisins
1 apple, cored and chopped
1-2 Tbsp honey
Cook brown rice according to package directions.
In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add curry powder, chili powder, cumin, and sesame oil. Allow to simmer for a minute. Add onion and cook until translucent.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the hot rice and curry infused oil. Taste and prepare more oil if needed. Add cilantro, raisins, apple, and honey to taste. Chill and serve.
My Notes:
Not bad. My trial did not include the cilantro (I got lazy and decided not to go to the store again prior to making it). I also had to add more curry powder because I could barely taste it. Still, the flavors melded together well, and everyone at the picnic I brought it to enjoyed it. This is definitely a 'mess with it as you go' recipe, where the above proportions are not exact by any stretch of the imagination. So have fun and play around with it until you get what you want.
