Plant-Based
Fragrant black rice tossed with cumin roast vegetables, creamy avocado and a lemon dill dressing.
1. Cook the rice
Set oven to 220ºC. Place rice in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water.
2. Roast the vegetables
Trim carrots (halve larger carrots). Dice zucchini and capsicum. Toss on a lined oven tray with olives, 1 tbsp oil, 2 tsp cumin, salt and pepper. Roast in oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and cooked.
3. Make the dressing
Chop dill fronds. Whisk together with lemon juice, 1 tsp mustard and 3 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Finish and plate
Slice spring onions. Toss all components together with mesclun leaves. Divide among plates with sliced avocado.
Notes
The dijon mustard can be substituted with wholegrain mustard.
