Ingredients:
2 sun-dried tomatoes, packed without oil |
1/4 cup hot water |
1 1/4 cups uncooked basmati rice |
2 cups water |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2/3 cup (2.5 ounces) feta cheese, crumbled |
2 tablespoons dried currants |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted |
Directions:
1. Combine tomatoes and water in a small bowl; let stand 10 minutes. Drain and chop; set aside.
2. Place rice in a large bowl; cover with water to 2 inches above rice. Soak 30 minutes; stirring occasionally. Drain and rinse.
3. Combine rice and 2 cups water in a small saucepan; stir in salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Boil 5 minutes or until water level falls just below rice. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook 10 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 10 minutes.
