Roasting cherries is a great way to bring out their sweet, spicy and nutty notes that work so beautifully with black rice. It is worth investing in a bottle of white balsamic vinegar for this - it goes beautifully with any roast summer fruit – though sherry or moscatel vinegar would work just as well, if need be. And if you like, swap the black rice for black barley, if you can find it, and cook it according to the packet instructions
