Default Found! Recipe for brown rice salad needed

The recipe I ate didn't have the chillies and I won't be including them
Christmas day to suit the tastebuds of most sitting down to lunch.

Brown rice salad with mint, pine nuts, chilli currents and caramelised onion

120ml olive oil
3 brown onions halved and sliced
sea salt and pepper
150g currants covered with red wine vinegar and boiled for 3 mins (reserve
liquid)
2 cups of cooked brown rice
1/2 bunch of flat lead parsley leaves
1/2 bunch of mint leaves
2 green chillies finely sliced
2 lemons juiced
120g pine nuts toasted

Heat 30ml olive oil in a large pan on a low heat. Add onion, salt and
pepper, then currants and vinegar and stir. Combine cooked rice, parsley,
mint and chillies in a large bowl. Add remaining olive oil and lemon juice
and stir. Add the onions and half the pine nuts and toss to combine. Top
with remaining onions and pine nuts.
