Salade de riz à l'Algérienne - Algerian Rice Salad

Greetings friends out in the Blosphere!

What summer and Ramadan for that matter can be without a refreshing and cool salad? I realized I have not posted salads in a long while. So today I am posting my version of the Algerian classic rice salad.


Salade de riz à l'Algérienne

* 250g rice
* 1 can whole kernel corn
* 1 can mushroom
* 1 can tuna, drained
* 1 carrot, diced
* 3 chopped gherkins
* 3 hard boiled eggs
* 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
* 2 cases of olive oil
* 1 tsp Djon mustard
* Handful of parsely, chopped
* Handful of cilantro, chopped
* Handful of capers
* 1 TBS olive oil
* Salt and black pepper

decor:

* green olives
* 2 hard boiled eggs, quartered
* pitted and sliced green olives (or black - your choice)
* cucumber, thinly sliced
* sliced cook beets
* corn


1. Put in a saucepan cook the rice and chunks of carrot, cook 20 minutes.
2. Add in the eggs to boil in the last 5 minutes.
3. Drain and let cool.
4. Peel the eggs. Reserve 2 for the decor, but chopped the rest roughly.
5. Mix the rice and the rest of the ingredients.
6. Allow the flavours to melt together in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
7. Using some type of mold, spoon in the salad. Pack in.
8. Turn out the salad onto a platter.
9. Decorated the top with the cucumber and one olive or a little bunch of grated carrots (see below). Then place the beets, cucumbers, corneggs and olives decoratively around the salad.

• Serve chilled.


Trick: You could spoon half the salad into the mold, then add a layer of boiled eggs and carrots, then spoon the rest of the salad in. This makes for an even more appealing presentation. See below.
