Rice Hermes with Belgian salad, pine nuts and goji berries

Today a good recipe, particular and well balanced.

I don’t like to make extravagant combinations that give a particular taste, I prefer simple flavors and well-balanced, this does not mean that you can not do original plates.

I ate this receipe by my cousin for dinner and I was excited, the only difference from her version is that I used  goji berries instead of raisins.

The type of rice is an integral red, called Hermes, with elongated grain and typical aroma.

It ‘s a variety of natural rice like the black one, it contains powerful antioxidants.
