This is a deliciously refreshing salad and looks stunning with the contrast of the black rice and striking orange mango. If you can find alphonso mangoes from Pakistan, buy them – their unique smell and flavour is quite something.

Serves 4
180g black rice, well rinsed and soaked in cold water for 20 minutes
2 tbsp sesame oil
2 small red chillis, finely chopped
6 spring onions, finely sliced
1 red onion, finely sliced
50g dry roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
2 small, just-ripe mangoes, peeled
1 tbsp fish sauce
Juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
Salt and black pepper

1 Cook the rice in salted water for around 18‑20 minutes until just tender, then drain well and transfer to a bowl.

2 Spoon the oil over the rice and stir in along with the chilli, spring and red onions and the peanuts. De-stone the mangoes and cut into 2cm chunks – mix half through the rice and reserve half. Whisk together the fish sauce and lime juice. Season the rice and then divide between serving plates, top with the remaining mango and the fish sauce dressing and then finish with the fresh coriander.
