Curried Rice And Fruit Salad With Fresh Mango Dressing Recipes

CURRIED RICE AND FRUIT SALAD WITH FRESH MANGO DRESSING

Steps:

• Rinse the rice well in a fine strainer. Transfer to bowl, cover with water, swish it around a few times, and drain. Repeat until the water is relatively clear and no longer cloudy. Drain once more, cover with water, and soak the rice for about 20 minutes or longer. Drain and set aside to air dry in a strainer for 15 minutes or so, tossing the grains occasionally.
• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When hot, add the shallots, garlic, ginger, curry powder, rice and salt. Stir for 2 to 3 minutes to soften the shallot, then pour in the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Simmer undisturbed for 15 to 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let cool to room temperature.
• For the dressing, whisk together the mango chutney, lemon juice, oil and honey in a small bowl.
• Assemble the salad by combining the rice, apples, pineapple, apricots, coconut, mint and cilantro in a large bowl. Gently toss the dressing into the salad and season with salt and pepper if desired.
