Indian Almond Rice

Deceptively fancy-looking, this rice dish is tops!

 

1 cup uncooked basmati rice

2 cups veggie stock or water

2 tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup golden raisins

1/2 cup slivered almonds

1 onion, chopped fine

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, minced

2 tsp tumeric

1 tsp curry powder

 

In a medium saucepan, heat the oil. Throw in the onions, raisins,

almonds, tumeric and curry powder and sautee for a few minutes, until

the onions are tender. Turn heat up to high and quickly add the rice

and water, stirring well. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat

to low. Cook for 10 minutes, or until rice is tender and all liquid is

absorbed (don't peek until 10 minutes is up, though!). Remove from

heat and let rest for another 10 minutes. Take of lid and fluff up

with a fork. Lightly stir in the minced

cilantro, and serve.

 

Serves 2-4
