Wild Rice Salad

Ingredients

  • 3 cup water
  • 1 cup wild rice
  • coarse salt
  • 2 fresh poblano peppers
  • 3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 clove garlic (peeled and minced)
  • 1 ½ cup fresh corn kernels (from about 3 ears)
  • 1 (15 oz black beans (rinsed and drained
  • freshly ground pepper
  • ½ cup thinly sliced scallions
  • 3 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice

Directions

Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add rice and 2 teaspoons salt. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until rice is al dente and some grains have split, 45 to 50 minutes. Drain.

Roast poblanos directly over a gas-stove burner or under a broiler, turning often with tongs, until charred on all sides. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand for 15 minutes. Rub poblanos with a paper towel to remove skins. Cut a slit down the side of each poblano, and remove seeds. Cut into ½‑inch dice.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Add poblanos, and cook for 1 minute. Stir in corn, and cook for 3 minutes. Add wild rice and black beans, stirring to coat, and cook for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Let cool slightly, then transfer to a bowl. Cover, and refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour. Stir in scallions, cilantro, and lime juice.
