This healthy brown rice salad is proudly brought to you by SunRice and wowfood.guru.
- For the spiced almonds, preheat oven to 160C. Grease and line two flat, rectangular baking trays and divide and spread the almonds over each tray. In a bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, and rosemary with a fork until just combined. Divide spice mixture evenly between trays, tossing almonds to coat. Bake for 15 minutes, tossing almonds in their trays every 5 minutes during baking so that they roast evenly.
- While the almonds bake, combine the salt, paprika, cinnamon, sugar and chilli powder in a large bowl. Once roasted, remove the hot almonds from the oven, and toss immediately with spice mixture to coat. Pour the almonds back onto the lined trays, spreading out into a single layer, to cool completely.
- For the toasted rice, heat 1/2 tbs olive oil in a large, heavy-based frying pan over medium heat, then add the rice. Toast, stirring continuously, for 4-5 minutes until the rice smells toasted, a little like popcorn. Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly, then cook to packet instructions on the stovetop or in the microwave. Set aside to cool.
- To prepare the salad, combine cooled rice, spiced almonds, mung beans or sprouts and toss to combine. Whisk dressing ingredients together with a fork until just combined, then pour over salad and toss through.
