Ingredients

3/4 cup of red rice

2 cups of beetroot leaves (including stalks)

1 teaspoon of sumac powder

Drizzle of olive oil

Salt to taste

Preparation

Wash your red rice, drain, and soak the rice again in water for approximately 20-30 minutes before cooking. Cook for 30-40 minutes, along with the sumac and salt, with almost thrice the amount of water as the rice. Start off with a little less - keep adding water as you go along.

Chop up the beetroot leaves.

Once the rice is cooked, let it cool for 10-15 minutes. Then add the chopped leaves and mix well. Finish off with a dash of olive oil on top.
