Her savory rice side dish has become a favorite with family and friends, writes Carolyn Keith from Evanston, Illinois. Studded with golden raisins, dried cherries and nuts, it goes together in no time using a convenient rice mix and dresses up a variety of main dishes. Ingredients:
1 small onion, chopped |
1 celery rib, chopped |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 package (6 ounces) long grain and wild rice mix |
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth |
3/4 cup golden raisins and cherries |
1/2 cup water |
1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, saute onion and celery in butter until tender. Add rice mix with contents of seasoning packet; stir to coat.
2. Stir in the broth, fruit and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 24-28 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
3. Remove from the heat; stir in pecans. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving. Yield: 5 servings.
