1 cup brown rice
1 16oz bag frozen shelled edamame
1/4 cup dried cranberries
4 oz crumbled feta
20 pitted kalamata olives, halved
3 Tbs chopped cilantro
2 Tbs olive oil
1 Tbs lime juice
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1) Bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil, stir in rice, and season with salt. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 45 minutes, or until rice is tender.
2) Bring 2 cups salted water to a boil, add edamame, and cook 2 minutes, or until tender; drain and set aside.
3) Toss together rice, edamame, cranberries, feta, olives, cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, and red pepper flakes in large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Review: I used instant brown rice and followed the directions on the box. That greatly reduced my cooking time. I love all the ingredients, but wasn't sure how they would go together. It was such a perfect balance of sweet, salty and spicy. Mmmmmm yummy. Also, this made about 2 servings, and this recipe is double the original ingredients!!

Made again on 11/10/2010, but I lacked cilantro and forgot to get dried cranberries. I substituted pomegranate arils (YUM).
