Recipe Introduction

Yield: Makes 6 servings

List of Ingredients

* 1 cup long-grain white rice
* About 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup walnut pieces
* 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
* 3 tablespoons lemon juice
* 1/4 cup chopped chives
* 1/4 cup Italian parsley leaves, rinsed and drained
* Salt
* 3 tablespoons rosemary blossoms, rinsed and drained





Recipe

1. In a 3- to 4-quart pan over high heat, bring rice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 cups water to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until rice is tender to bite, about 20 minutes. Scrape rice into a wide shallow bowl, fluff with a fork, and let stand until cool, about 30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, in an 8- to 10-inch frying pan over medium heat, frequently stir walnuts with 1 tablespoon oil until nuts are golden beneath skins, about 5 minutes.

3. Pour nut mixture over rice. Add remaining olive oil, and lemon juice, chives, and parsley; add salt to taste. Mix with a fork. Sprinkle salad with rosemary blossoms.
