Forbidden Black Rice
Description
Forbidden Black Rice involves cooking the whole grain with water and olive oil, simmered gently for 30 minutes and then rested off the heat to achieve a fluffy yet hearty texture. The process softens the grains while preserving their characteristic dark color and mild flavor. The olive oil helps enhance the texture and adds a hint of richness.
This rice works well served alongside meats, vegetables, or incorporated into grain bowls. Its unique color adds visual appeal to meals and provides a nutritious alternative to white rice.
Ingredients
- 1 cup forbidden black rice rinsed, uncooked
- 1¾ cups water
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Combine the rice, water, and olive oil in a medium pot and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 10 more minutes. Fluff with a fork.
