DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Place shallots, cut-sides down, on prepared baking sheet. Bake 25 minutes, or until shallots are very soft. Prepare rice according to package directions, omitting salt; set aside to cool.

Remove and discard skin and stem ends of toasted shallots. Place pulp in food processor container. Add garlic, salt and mustard; cover. Process until well blended. Add lemon juice and vinegar, 1 tablespoon at a time, processing well after each addition. With food processor on, add olive oil and broth in a slow steady stream through feed tube at top of food processor, processing until well blended. Pour into large bowl; stir in chives and black pepper. Let stand 15 minutes to allow flavors to blend.

Add rice, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes and basil; mix lightly. Serve on lettuce-covered plates, if desired.
