Preparation

Step 1

Bring water to a boil, add brown rice, cover and cook over very low heat for 30 minutes. Check the brown rice; if not tender, cook for 5 minutes longer. Drain and spread the rice out in a shallow bowl to cool somewhat.

While rice is cooking, in the bottom of a mixing bowl combine the oils, vinegar, mustard and season to taste with salt and pepper.

When ready to serve, combine the rice, peas, basil and parsley and adjust the seasoning.
