1 cup Spekko Saman Brown Rice, rinsed
2 cups vegetable stock
1 medium butternut
2 Tbsp olive oil
Salt
1 Tbsp cumin seeds
1 tsp ground coriander
For the dressing
4 Tbsp honey
3 Tbsp red wine vinegar / balsamic vinegar
4 Tbsp orange juice
½ tsp orange zest
3 Tbsp wholegrain mustard
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 x 400 g can Three/Four Bean Mix, drained and pat dry
½ red onion, finely chopped
100 g sliced biltong
150 g feta cheese, crumbled
Small handful fresh mint leaves
Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with paper.
Put the rice and stock into a pot. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for about 25 minutes, or until cooked. Drain off excess liquid. Allow the stand for a few minutes before putting the salad together.
Peel and cube the butternut, discarding the peels and seeds. Place the cubes on the baking sheet and drizzle over 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a pinch of salt, the cumin seeds and ground coriander. Toss well and roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes, until cooked and the edges are caramelised. Give the butternut a toss half way through cooking.
To make the dressing, simply whisk the ingredients together.
Mix the rice and beans and stir through ¾ of the dressing.
Carefully mix through the butternut, onion and most of the biltong and feta cheese.
Spread this over a platter. Top with the last bits of biltong and feta, drizzle over the remaining dressing and garnish with fresh mint.
