    Citrussy Rice Salad

    
    120g long-grain rice
    1 orange
    1 grapefruit
    1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, tarragon, chervil)
    12 dry-roasted pistachios
    6 tbsp orange juice
    5 tbsp grapefruit juice
    1 tbsp honey
    2 tbsp sunflower oil
    1 tsp grated fresh root ginger, grated
    salt and pepper
    
    

    Cook the rice creole-style for 11 minutes in plenty of boiling water. It should be cooked but still retain some bite. Pour it into a sieve and stop the cooking by rinsing under cold running water, drain thoroughly and leave to cool.

    Peel the orange and grapefruit. Remove the pith and cut the flesh into large dice. Place the rice in a large salad bowl then add the diced orange and grapefruit.

    Whisk together the orange juice, grapefruit juice, honey and sunflower oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the grated ginger and stir well.

    Drizzle the sauce over the rice salad. Sprinkle with the chopped herbs and decorate with the pistachios.
