Grated peel of 1 orange

Place the rice in a strainer and rinse thoroughly under cold water. In a

medium, heavy saucepan, place the rice. Add the chicken-style broth

and heat to boiling. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes to 1

hour or until the rice is tender. Drain and place in a bowl. Add the
