Red Camargue Rice Salad
I made this red camargue rice salad last month. It was my first time cooking and eating red camargue rice.
I don't know why, but I had expected the red camargue rice to be chewy like brown rice, but it wasn't and was somewhere in between white rice and brown rice. It did however add texture and faint colour to this very autumnal looking salad. The rice was further enhanced by the flavours of the roasted butternut squash and red peppers, I also threw in some fresh tomatoes. There was plenty of left over as the quantity I made served 3 - 4, so I took some into work the following day for lunch.

Looks delicious Shaheen - im cooking butternut squash into just about everything at the moment! Does the red rice have much of a flavour to it? I've used it once but it was such a long time ago I cant really remember!
ReplyDeleteYes, its a bit nutty in flavour.
DeleteI LOVE Camargue red rice....... It has the most amazing, wholesome, texture and nutty flavour. I LOVE butternut squash too........ I could eat a whole pan of this rice salad!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate, I think you would have liked this for sure.
DeleteI often mix red Camargue rice with brown rice to make a more attractive colour and texture. I think it also tastes slightly different; nuttier. Lovely salad btw :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab idea, may do that next time.
DeleteA very impressive-looking dish! I think I've only had Camargue Red rice once or twice, and only ever in very traditional dishes.
ReplyDeleteReally Mark. I honestly thought it was too simple, hence the reason I haven't typed up the recipe, its straight forward really, still I am very pleased with your comment. Thank you.
DeleteI haven't tried too many different kinds of rices but this looks pretty and delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Janet. It was quite lovely.
DeleteI just tagged a recipe using red camargue rice the other day. This salad looks even better than that recipe. Love the fall colors and flavors. Thanks for sharing it with Souper Sundays this week. ;-)
ReplyDeletethank you so much Deb. I did really enjoy this salad and its simplicity, yes your right fall colours.
DeleteLovely. I haven't tried that kind of rice, but I am intrigued. Thanks for submitting this to NCR.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lisa. I hope you find some to try some - some day.
