About

The dark brambles add a sweet sharpness to the earthy rice and give a definite sparkle to this salad. I add red currants too if I can find them. Blueberries or blackcurrants would work just as well if you’ve missed bramble picking. You’ll find red Camargue rice mixed with wild rice in most large supermarkets, but any wild rice mix could be substituted here.
