A new take on Dalmas

Serves 2
I myself use brown rice for this due to PCOS but if your just vegan keep the recipe the way it is

INGREDIENTS

2 large iceberg leaves, washed and drained properly

1 cup plain rice (or any other of your choice) washed, boiled and drained

10 walnuts each chopped in a few pieces

1 small raw carrot cut into very small squares (or grated)

½ small, finely chopped red onion (or 2 small spring onions)

1 tsp curry powder

pinch of ground cardamon

½ tsp paprika

finely chopped fresh mint and basil (about 4 leaves of each)

2 tbsps golden sultanas

3 or 5 chopped, black Greek or Spanish olives

a little dash of fresh lemon juice (optional)

a little salt

a little drizzle of olive or sunflower oil

METHOD

In a non-stick pan, fry your pre-boiled rice in a little oil with all the spices for a couple of minutes, then allow to cool down properly. Now add the rest of the ingredients (except for the lettuce), and blend well using a fork. Using a large spoon, place one or two servings into the centre of each iceberg leaf and roll – I would use a couple of toothpicks to keep in place. Serve immediately. A fresh fruit juice complements this wonderfully, and makes not only for a great light lunch but also a highly nutritious one ! Bon Appetit !
