You guys know that I limit carbs in my diet as much as possible.
My body just functions better that way and my auto immune disease flares up way less.
However, if I am going to “indulge” in carbs, I make sure that they are the best quality carbs that I can consume.
Ancient Chinese lore claims black rice was reserved solely for the emperor and the royal family, due to its nutritional profile and healing abilities
And a recent study found that the antioxidant content of black rice was about six times higher than brown or white rice.
Another study, found a potent antioxidant in black rice called cyanidin-3-O-beta-D-glycoside (C3G) is highly effective at suppressing inflammation in the body.
Just as importantly, it so pretty and crazy delicious!
I made luscious roasted rhubarb with this one but you could use any fruit that you desire.
It’s a comforting, delicious, nutritious, hug in a bowl.
I’m going to say it again.
Make it. Post it. Tag me
Enjoy!
Ingredients
- STICKY BLACK RICE:
1 cup of black rice
2 cups of coconut milk.
Sweetener of choice to taste (I find that the coconut milk provides enough sweetness for me but add a touch of liquid stevia for the rest of the family)
- ROASTED RHUBARB:
1 bunch of rhubarb, approx 250 grams of stalks
4 tablespoons of sweetener of choice
1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste or a scraped vanilla pod
2 tablespoons of orange juice (optional)
Directions
- Place the black rice in a saucepan with the cold coconut milk and bring to the boil.
- Reduce heat to a bare simmer and cook, covered for 35-40 minutes or until softened.
- Sweeten to taste using your preferred sweetener (I used a few drops of liquid stevia)
- If required, add a touch of extra coconut milk to bring the rice to a lovely creamy consistency.
- Cut the rhubarb into 3-4 cm batons
- Toss all ingredients together in a bowl and then spread out in a single layer on a baking tray.
- Bake at 180° C for 10-15 minutes
- Serve rice with a luscious dollop of coconut yoghurt and rhubarb on top
