Spring Sides

These two tasty side dishes just might steal the spotlight. Both offer bright flavors and are packed with fresh veggies. We recommend pairing with a protein like grilled salmon or chicken and enjoying outside by the fire.   

Black Rice with Mango

 

Gear

Home & Camp Burner 
Aluminum Caldero  
Nylon Ladle  

Ingredients:

¼ cup of lime juice 
2 oranges 
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil 
1 tablespoon of fish sauce 
2 cups of black rice 
Kosher salt to taste 
2 ripe mangoes (avoid overripe!) diced into half-inch chunks 
1 cup of cilantro 
1 cup of finely chopped red onion  
½ cup pepitas 
6 scallions, sliced 
jalapenos

Instructions:  

Peel and remove the pith from the orange. Separate the orange membranes and squeeze over a sieve (with a bowl below) to filter residue. Set orange segments aside. Add the lime juice and fish sauce to the orange juice, then whisk together. Set the dressing aside.  

Bring rice to a boil in 2 ¾ cups of water. Add a small amount of salt. Cover the pan and simmer until the rice is tender, about 25 minutes. Then, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for 15 minutes, then spread the rice on a baking sheet and drizzle with the dressing. Add all remaining ingredients to a large bowl, add the rice, then toss to combine. Serve and enjoy!
