Black Rice Salad with Mango
Serves 4-6 · salad · 7 ingredients
Black rice — sold as forbidden rice — takes 40 to 50 minutes and holds its bite. The tomato, mango and basil go in off the heat and sit for ten minutes so the residual warmth pulls them together.
More color means more nutrient density, in rice as much as in vegetables. Taste at the end for salt and oil. Serves 4 to 6.

Method
How to make it
Forbidden rice is great for you as it is high in fiber, minerals and amino acids. As in vegetables, more color suggests a higher density of nutrition. Put the rice, water, oil and salt in a medium stainless steel pot, cover and let come to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 40-50 min. Stir in the tomatoes, mango and basil and let sit for 10 min. Taste the rice to see if more salt or oil is needed.
