2 1/2 cups canned unsalted chicken or veggie broth

 

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 red bell pepper, diced

2 tablespoons chopped garlic

1 cup long-grain white rice

1 tablespoon curry powder

1 15-ounce can low-salt kidney beans, rinsed, drained

1 10-ounce package frozen chopped collard greens, thawed, squeezed dry

1/2 cup dried currants

Place chutney in blender. Add broth gradually and puree. Set aside.
