Also, if you are wondering where is the all-important salt in my recipes, the answer is I havent forgotten to add that to the ingredient list. I just dont use salt. And I didnt for this recipe as well. But I would definitely recommend using salt for this one. I will next time. The taste was quite bland.
Red rice with beetroot leaves
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup of red rice
- About two cups of beetroot leaves (including stalks)
- Teaspoon of sumac powder
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Salt to taste
To make:
Wash your red rice, drain, and soak the rice again in water for approximately 20-30 minutes before cooking. Cook for 30-40 minutes, along with the sumac and salt, with almost thrice the amount of water as the rice. Start off with a little less - keep adding water as you go along.
Chop up the beetroot leaves.

i luv red rice, we always cook this type of red rice, looks very delicious and healthy
I didn't even know the leaves were edible. I'll have to try cooking with them next time I have beets!
Do beet root leaves taste like beets?
What a rich gorgeous color! It sounds delicious!
@ Evan: I never had them before either. But I saw a blog post with beet leaves used to make fritters -and I figured, why cant i have this raw?! I'm still very much alive - so I guess its edible. :)
@Tiffany: No, they arent sweet like beets. Dont think they have much taste, actually. But they look so pretty.
Cool recipe! I really love beet greens.
