The honey balances the spicy lime and is great with the prawns in this fresh gluten-free rice salad.
Ingredients
- 105g (1/2 cup) black rice
- 3 sweet corncobs, husks removed
- 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
- 80ml (1/3 cup) light flavour extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups firmly packed fresh herbs (mint and coriander leaves)
- 500g peeled green prawns, tails intact
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 large lime, rind finely grated, juiced
- 1 long fresh green chilli, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 3 green shallots, thinly sliced
Method
- Step 1Cook the rice in a saucepan of boiling water, stirring occasionally, for 24 minutes or until tender. Drain and refresh under cold running water. Drain well.
- Step 2Meanwhile, preheat a barbecue or chargrill on medium-high. Barbecue the corn, turning often, for 15-20 minutes or until charred and tender. Use a sharp knife to remove the kernels. Combine the broccoli and 1 tbs oil in a bowl. Season. Cook the broccoli, turning often, for 10 minutes or until charred and tender. Chop. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Step 3Finely chop 1/4 cup of the mint and coriander. Coarsely chop half the remaining mint and coriander and reserve. Place the prawns, finely chopped herbs, 1 tbs oil and 1 garlic clove in a bowl and stir to combine. Season and cook, turning, for 3 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer to the bowl.
- Step 4Whisk the lime rind, lime juice, chilli, honey and remaining oil and garlic in a bowl. Season. Add the cooked rice, corn, shallot, reserved chopped herbs, whole herbs and dressing to the broccoli mixture. Toss to combine and divide among bowls.
