Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/4 c water or stock
1 Tb butter
1 tsp sea salt
1 cup wild rice (black)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup chopped fennel bulb, core removed
1/2 red or yellow bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup red cabbage, chopped
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
2 cups finely chopped dark leafy greens, kale, chard, collard
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring water or stock to a boil, add butter, 1/2 tsp salt and rice. Bring back to a boil, cover, lower heat and simmer 60-65 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. While rice is cooking, in a large serving bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Add fennel, bell pepper, red cabbage, parsley and then the greens. Once rice is fully cooked, cool until it no longer is steaming, but is still warm, and then spread it like a blanket over the greens. When the rice cools to room temperature, toss the rice with the vegetables and dressing. Taste and adjust seasonings, add more salt or lemon juice if desired.
