Macrobiotic Brown Rice Salad
GLUTEN FREE, DAIRY FREE AND VEGAN, THIS CLASSIC MACROBIOTIC STYLE DISH IS INCREDIBLY NUTRITIOUS AND DELICIOUS TO BOOT!
- 1 c Brown Rice
- 200 g broccoli
- 250 g Squash
- 2 Nori Sheets
- 1⁄3 c sesame seeds
- 1⁄8 c Toasted Sesame Oil
- 1⁄8 c Tamari (wheat free soy sauce)
- 1⁄8 c Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1⁄2 bn Parsley
- 1 Pinch Sea Salt
Cook the brown rice with 3 cups of water and a pinch of salt.
Heat a small heavy based pan. Gently toast the sesame seeds until they begin to brown. Then add a dash of Tamari and take off the heat.
Slice the Broccoli and Squash and steam gently- be careful not to overcook. Slice the Parsley and Nori Sheets very finely.
In a large bowl, stir the Sesame Oil, Vinegar and remaining Tamari into the rice and mix well. Then add all the other ingredients, setting aside a few of the sesame seeds and nori strips to use as garnish.Serve with sweet potato burgers, pan fried tofu strips or baked fish.
There are endless possible variations of this dish- some of my favourite additions include shitake mushrooms, coriander, roasted pumpkin- and a good squeeze of lime never goes astray.
