Black Rice Summer Salad with Dried Cranberries
Picture this... deep in the Italian countryside where echinacea plants grow. This was the setting for my first taste of the ingredients of this dish.
A very artful Italian lady was head chef at the retreat and shared with us a black rice dish. The flavor was not like I had experienced black rice before. Her rice was so yummy and full of flavor, soft, rich, and full of fiber...it made a stunning lunch.
So when I got home to Mallorca I started to experiment with some of the ways I like to cook rice with dried fruit. And picked up some seasonal artichokes and this dish was born. I hope you enjoy this wonderful dish as it is one of our favorites.
