Just one spoonful of the black-rice bran contains the same amount of these antioxidants as a spoonful of fresh blueberries – and without the sugar.

PREP TIME

10 min

COOK TIME

30 min

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups (280 grams) black rice

1/4 cup (60 ml) tahini

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, divided (from about 2 lemons)

Fine sea salt, to taste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 cups (200 grams) broccoli florets

8 ounces (225 grams) kale, ribs removed, leaves cut into 1/2-inch shreds

8 ounces (225 grams) sliced tempeh, cut into 3/4-inch dice

1/4 medium sized red cabbage, cored and cut into 1/4-inch shreds

1/4 cup (35 grams) pine nuts, toasted

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the rice and 2 2/3 cups (630 ml) of water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the tahini, oil, 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of water, and salt to taste. Set aside.

  3. When the rice is about 15 minutes from being done, in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer insert, bring the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water to a boil over high heat. Arrange the broccoli, kale, tempeh, and cabbage in the insert, cover and steam until the vegetables are tender and the tempeh is heated through, about 5 minutes.

  4. Arrange the rice on plates or a platter and top with a vegetable mixture, tahini sauce, and pine nuts. Pass any remaining tahini at the table.
