Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup currants
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp chopped thyme
2 cloves garlic, crushed
freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 tbsp oil
2 cups rice
3 cups water
1/4 tsp cinnamon
salt
pepper
3 tbsp finely chopped dill
3 tbsp finely chopped mint
3 tbsp finely chopped italian parsley

Directions:

Mix the currants, vinegar, oil, thyme and garlic.
Season with a generous amount of pepper.
Let stand at least 4 hours before serving.
Toast the pine nuts in 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet over low heat until lightly browned, 2 minutes.
Watch them carefully; they burn easily.
Cook the onions in oil until golden, stirring often.
Add the rice and cook, stirring, an additional minute.
Add the water and season with salt, pepper and cinnamon.
Bring to a boil, lower heat and cook covered over low heat until the water is absorbed, 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and let sit undisturbed for 10 minutes.
Stir in the rest of the ingredients with a fork.
Transfer to a serving bowl or platter and garnish with Seasoned Currants.
