heard of Purple Passion rice, has anyone else?

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 cup sun-dried cherries

1/4 cup white wine

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 1/2 links vegetarian sausages -- sliced on the bias

1 portobello mushroom -- thinly sliced

1 carrot -- julienned

1/2 cup leeks -- julienned

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves

1/4 cup roasted walnuts

6 cloves roasted garlic -- (to 10 cloves)

1 cup virgin olive oil

1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese -- (or omit if

vegan)

2 cups cooked purple passion rice -- (Nature's Wild

Rice

-- Co. 800.222.5085)

1/2 cup baby spinach

 

In a small sauce pot combine the cherries and wine, reduce by 1/3 and

let cool. While the cherries are cooling, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil

in a large saute pan and saute sausages, mushroom, carrot, and leeks,

until soft and the sausages are cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove

the pan from the heat and set aside. Finish the pesto by combining the

cherries, basil, walnuts, and garlic in a food processor and pulse.

While blending, slowly add 1 cup of olive oil until all is incorporated

and you have a well emulsified pesto. Remove pesto to a mixing bowl

and, if using, fold in the cheese. To the sauteed vegetables, add 2

cups of purple passion rice, cooked to manufacturer's specifications,

toss with the pesto, and baby spinach. Serve immediately.
