Ingredients

  • 1 cup dry black rice forbidden rice, Jasmine black rice, or wild rice
  • 3 medium peaches about 1 lb.
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. mild harissa paste
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • Kosher salt
  • 3 Tbsp. thinly sliced shallots
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint or basil leaves, torn
  • 1 (8-oz.) ball burrata or fresh mozzarella cheese torn into pieces
  • 2 Tbsp. toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

Instructions

  • Cook rice according to package instructions in vegetable broth or generously salted water.
  • Meanwhile, cut each peach in half horizontally; discard pits. In a small bowl, combine oil, harissa, honey, and lime juice; season to taste with kosher salt. Brush half of mixture over flesh and skin of peaches, and let sit 5 minutes. Add shallots to bowl with remaining dressing.
  • Heat a greased grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, grill peaches until lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side; set aside.
  • Spread cooked rice on a serving platter, and arrange grilled peaches and burrata over rice. Drizzle remaining dressing (with shallots) overtop; garnish with pepitas and mint leaves (or basil).
