| Organic Brown Rice, Quinoa & Orange Salad |
 Ingredients½ cup Organic Medium Grain Brown Rice ½ cup Organic Quinoa white ½ small Spanish onion, finely chopped ½ cup Organic Currants ½ cup Organic Almonds Raw, roughly chopped 1 cup of Organic Chickpeas (cooked) 1 Orange, freshly squeezed 2 tbs Red Wine Vinegar Salt & Pepper to taste Method Cook brown rice, by placing 1 cup of water with 1/2 cup of rinsed rice into a saucepan. Bring to the boil, stirring gently, then reduce heat, cover & simmer for about 30-40mins or until rice is cooked. In a separate saucepan, cook the Quinoa in the same way as the rice; however you only need to simmer it for about 15 minutes.While these are cooking, place the currants in a small bowl and pour over the orange juice, leave to soak. Once the rice and quinoa are cooked, leave to cool slightly. Then transfer to a bowl and mix through the Spanish onion, almonds & chickpeas. Add the vinegar to the currants and orange juice, stir and then pour over the salad & mix through. Add salt & pepper to taste. Serves 4-6 as a side dish. Notes:You can make this recipe using only brown rice, but I find by mixing half Rice and half Quinoa, it makes the salad that little bit lighter...a better option for summer!
