Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

350g wild rice (use a mixture, or black rice works well)
200g parsnips (about 2 medium), peeled and cut into thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler
8 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp cumin seeds, crushed
2 lemons, juiced
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp dried oregano
200g baby spinach, chopped
300g chargrilled artichokes in oil, drained and sliced
small bunch of mint, leaves picked and finely chopped

Steps:

  • Cook the rice following pack instructions, then drain. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the parsnips with 2 tbsp oil and arrange on a large baking sheet lined with baking parchment in a single layer. Sprinkle with some seasoning and half the cumin seeds. Roast for 25-30 mins, stirring halfway through, until golden and crisp.
  • Whisk the lemon juice, mustard, remaining cumin seeds and the oregano together in a large bowl, then add the remaining oil, whisking continuously, until thick. Season well. Stir into the cooked rice.
  • Fold the spinach, artichokes and mint into the rice mixture, and season to taste. Scatter with the parsnip crisps to serve.
