HERITAGE RICE AND GRAIN CAESAR SALAD

by Frank Raasch

Our hearty blend of natural red rice and heirloom whole grains is a healthful and delicious mixture of contrasting tastes and textures. The buttery Grano and crisp Rye Berries are perfectly complimented by Red Rice and cook evenly in the one pot. Our take on the classic Caesar salad utilizes this blend to add protein, texture and flavor.

DIRECTIONS

  1. Cover the Heritage Rice & Grain Blend with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt in a 1 quart sauce pan. Bring to a boil and cover, turning down to a simmer. Cook for 60-70 minutes until the grains are tender and remove from the heat, set aside. After 10 minutes drain any excess water and spread the blend onto a sheet pan.

  2. Remove the outer leaves of the Romaine and cut lengthwise from the core out, about 6 times. Lay the lettuce on its side and chop into small pieces. Rinse the lettuce in cold water and drain.

  3. In a small bowl mash the anchovies and garlic with a fork until a paste forms. Whisk in the lemon juice, vinegar, a 1/4 cup of cheese, mustard and mayonnaise. Slowly add the olive oil and whisk until smooth.

  4. In a medium bowl toss the drained lettuce with the tomatoes, onions and cooled Piemonte Rice & Grain Salad with the dressing until fully incorporated.

  5. Garnish with croutons and more cheese.
