This recipe uses:
Giant Wild Rice 250g
Put the rice in a saucepan and add 900ml boiling water. Bring to the boil, cover, turn down to a low simmer and cook for 45 - 50 mins. Remove from the heat and rest for a further 5 mins. The rice will be fluffy but still retain a bit of bite.
Meanwhile, add the asparagus and broad beans to a pan of salted water and cook for 3 minutes, then add in the peas for a further minute. Drain and refresh in cold water.
In a large bowl, add the rice, vegetables, feta, pistachios and herbs, plus the olive oil, honey and lemon juice and toss to combine. Transfer onto a plate / platter and finish with more olive oil if liked.
