Ingredients : Fruited Basmati Rice Recipe
2 1/2 cup uncooked basmati rice
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 orange
5 slice ginger root, chopped
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/2 tsp cumin seed
1/4 cup slivered almonds
Place the rice into a pan and rinse it with water to remove milky coating
(until water runs clear). Bring to a boil in ample water. Reduce heat to
very low, cover the pan and simmer.
Grate the peel from 1/2 an orange. Add to the simmering rice. Peel the
ginger root, cut 5 slices, chop and stir them into the rice. Add the
raisins and dried chopped apricots. Sprinkle the rice mixture with cumin.
Cover and cook for a total of 30 minutes.
Just before serving, toast the almonds in a heavy sauté pan until fragrant
and light brown. Top each serving of rice with toasted almonds.
This recipe yields 8 generous servings.
Comments: This is an excellent main course dish served with thin slices of
grilled chicken or chunks of grilled fish.
