I attended an<a href=\"https:\/\/shescookin.com\/2011\/10\/17\/star-olive-oil-tasting\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Olive Oil Tasting<\/a> hosted by <strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Star Fine Foods<\/span><\/strong> and Diane Cu and Todd Porter of <a href=\"http:\/\/whiteonricecouple.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">White on Rice Couple<\/a>. Much like wine tasting, but instead we were taken on a tour of the world&#8217;s richest olive oil regions including Spain, the Mediterranean, and the Holy Lands and, while we were there, the first to taste STAR\u00ae California Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), one of the first olive oils made exclusively from olives grown in California.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, their EVOO California Olive Oil has honestly become my go-to olive oil &#8211; it&#8217;s light with fruity notes and a bold peppery finish (doesn&#8217;t that sound like wine) which makes it an ideal choice for dipping sauces, dressings, and cooking vegetables and proteins when you don&#8217;t desire a bold olive oil taste. Here I&#8217;ve combined it with the warm flavors of apple cider vinegar and curry to lightly coat exotic ebony grains of organic Forbidden Rice from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lotusfoods.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lotus Foods<\/a> dotted with the vibrant jewel tones of dried apricots and cranberry, crunchy pistachios and the pleasurable pop of fresh pomegranate seeds.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22430\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shescookin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Jeweled-Forbidden-Rice-2.jpg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Jeweled Forbidden Rice |Shescookin.com\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shescookin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Jeweled-Forbidden-Rice-2.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shescookin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Jeweled-Forbidden-Rice-2.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shescookin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Jeweled-Forbidden-Rice-2.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"print-this-button-shell\">\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"print-this-button\" onClick=\"parent.location='https:\/\/shescookin.com\/jeweled-forbidden-rice-and-a-star-giveaway\/?printthis=1&printsect=1'\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Print This!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<!-- Print This Section 1 Start -->\n<div class=\"print-this-content\"><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Jeweled Forbidden Rice<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>1 cup Lotus Foods Forbidden Rice*<\/p>\n<p>1\/3 cup coarsely chopped pistachios<br \/>\n1\/3 cup chopped dried apricots<br \/>\n1\/3 cup fresh pomegranate seeds<br \/>\n1\/3 cup dried cranberries<br \/>\n1\/4 cup Star California Extra Virgin Olive Oil<br \/>\n3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar<br \/>\n1 tablespoon honey or agave<br \/>\n1 teaspoon curry powder<br \/>\n1 tablespoon minced shallots<br \/>\nsalt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n<p>1.
