This one’s going to be a short post today because it’s 10 pm now and the only reason my tired eyes are open is because I can’t wait to share this recipe with you: my Black Rice Mushroom Risotto with Caramelized Onions.

You know I am always looking for easy weeknight recipes to brown bag for lunch, and this one is one of my favorites so far. Black rice, if you’re not familiar with it, is a glutinous rice which makes it perfect for risottos. It cooks up purple rather than black and tastes nutty and quite delicious.

It’s also a nutritional star — much healthier than white and even its brown counterparts. It’s packed with antioxidants and ounce for ounce it has more protein and more iron.

But forget about all that for a moment and think of this: isn’t it a little special eating something that — if you were born a few centuries ago– you could have only eaten if you happened to be the emperor of China? True story.

So I promised a short post and a short post it will be. Enjoy the recipe, all, and if you feel just a little blue blooded after eating this incredible dish….well, you could always go to London and look up the queen.

Ciao.

BLACK RICE RISOTTO WITH MUSHROOMS AND CARAMELIZED

Last week I noticed Black Rice had appeared at my Ralphs Market for the first time and was totally intrigued, so I bought some. This Black Rice Salad was a great recipe to try it in and a perfect chance for me to use some of the green onions I have been growing on my kitchen counter.

This science experiment with the green onions I read about on ShockinglyDelicious. Dorothy said just cut the onions off about 4 inches above the roots, place in a glass of water and wait for the roots to grow and new onion shoots to grow out the top. This sounded like fun, so I did as she said and, lo and behold, I have ever-growing green onions. Which must be harvested and used up. Like in this salad.

The onions that grow are perfect, with no bug damage or imperfections like those you get at the market. And they grow really fast. It seems like overnight they grow inches. It will be interesting to see how long they can keep it up. And how many recipes you’ll be reading on my blog that have green onions in them. lol.

The second science experiment on my kitchen counter is lemongrass, which is also growing roots, prior to being planted in a container outside. I have been very disappointed with the lemongrass I have bought at various markets. Usually it is dry, brown and totally tasteless and consequently the dish it is used in will be lacking its lemony-ness. I read somewhere you could get it to root in water. I found some stalks that seemed to have some life in them, put them in water and waited. And waited. I was going to throw them out as a failed experiment, and then one tiny little white bud appeared. I was jumping up and down like Rocky! Yes!! They will go in a container, not in the ground, as I understand they have a tendency to take over your yard. The running joke about lemongrass is: How do you get rid of lemongrass? You move to a new house. Anyway, I will be reporting on how this works out.

Lemongrass and its new roots!

There is no lemongrass is this Black Rice Salad, however, now that I’m thinking about it, there is lemon zest and lemon juice in the vinaigrette. So maybe next time I make this salad I will bruise and mince up some lemongrass and add it in. Hey, isn’t this how new recipes are born?
