Asparagus Rice Salad

- 120 minutes to make
- Serves 6
This is one of my favorite spring dishes. It's a variation of a recipe I attribute to Terese Allen, one of the nicest cookbook writers I've ever met. Easily made vegetarian.
Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp balsamic or red wine vinegar shopping list
- 2 garlic cloves, slightly crushed shopping list
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme shopping list
- Freshly ground black pepper shopping list
- 1 tsp salt shopping list
- 1 1/2 cups jasmine or basmati rice, cooked shopping list
- 1/2 cup asparagus, tough ends removed, chopped, blanched shopping list
- 1 smoked pork chop shopping list
- 1/3 cup chopped green onions shopping list
How to make it
- Combine the vinegar, garlic, thyme, pepper, and salt. Let stand 1-2 hours or more. Remove garlic.
- Pan fry the pork chop so that it develops a little carmelization/becomes a little brown. Cut into small pieces when it's cool enough to handle.
- Toss the rice, asparagus, pork chop and onions with the dressing. Season to taste with additional black pepper as desired.
- Serve at room temperature.
