Rice with Chestnuts

 

Recipe By : Amber Waves of Grain, Alex and Gale Jack

Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Grains

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups brown rice

1/2 cup chestnuts

- soaked for several hours

5 cups spring water

1 pinch sea salt

 

Chestnuts make the rice taste very sweet. Women and children are

especially fond of this dish.

 

Dry roast or soak the chestnuts and remove as much of the brown outer

husk as possible. Wash the rice, layer the rice and chestnuts in the

pressure cooker, and place over the flame. When the water is warm,

add a pinch of sea salt. Put on the cover and bring up to pressure.

Cook for 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from fire and let set for 5

minutes. Then lower the pressure and remove gently from the pressure

cooker.

 

* The amount of chestnuts may be adjusted for your family's taste,

but generally should be about 20 percent of the amount of rice.
