here's what you'll need:
1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 plums (or 4 small sugar plums), sliced
2 cups cooked brown rice (i used "minute rice")
1-2 oz crumbled feta
1/4 cup prunes, chopped
salt & pepper
olive oil
1. in a pan, saute onions in a bit of olive oil until caramelized.
2. add plums and saute a minute longer. season with salt & pepper.
3. add in rice & prunes and toss (rice will become a lovely blush color).
4. toss in feta and mix rice until feta begins to melt. season with more salt & pepper.
the subtle flavors of the rice and sweet plums & prunes are beautifully balanced by the feta. as i mentioned, we enjoyed our rice with chicken, but it would work well with fish or shrimp as well.
no plums? why not try another stone fruit, like peaches or cherries? no prunes? how about raisins or dried cranberries? no feta? try another pungent cheese like parmesan or bleu. get creative and keep it simple. cooking is supposed to be fun!
very creative! i would never have thought of these flavors :)
ReplyDeleteOooh this looks so good! I may give this a try next weekend when I'm back to eating carbs! :)

ReplyDeleteI've never thought of this! Thanks for sharing,
ReplyDeleteWe are all about feta around here. I think I'm allergic to plums though, so maybe I'll try subbing for peaches. Thanks for the recipe!
