Method
Preparation
Rinse the Rice
Thoroughly rinse the black rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed black rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30-35 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
Plum Sauce
Prepare the Davidson Plum
While the rice is cooking, pit and chop the Davidson plums.
Make the Sauce
In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped Davidson plums, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the plums break down and form a sauce.
Assembly
Combine and Serve
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and serve it on a plate. Drizzle the Davidson plum sauce over the rice and garnish with fresh mint.
