Today at a staff function a staff member brought in this great brown rice
salad. In the crush I was able to verify that it was easy to make and that
she boiled sultanas for 3 minutes in red wine? vinegar, added it all to
cooked brown rice, chopped parsley, chopped mint and some lemon juice. It
also had caramelised onions and I'm sure I missed some ingredients. No
curry. It was moist and sweet and very tasty.
Anyone have any ideas of this recipe? I've googled extensively.
I've emailed her but she's not fulltime and may have already left on
Christmas break.
Thanks

Maybe you could do your own adjusting to use one of these two recipes.

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.
