This is an adaptation on a recipe that was emailed to me. The original recipe was from The New Family Cookbook for People with Diabetes. It goes well with Apricot Chicken for the Gourmet Crock Pot. Ingredients:
1 medium onion, chopped |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 cup basmati rice |
2 cups chicken stock or 2 cups broth |
1 teaspoon ground turmeric |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped |
1/3 cup golden raisin |
Directions:
1. In a heavy saucepan, warm the olive oil.
2. When warm add the onion and rice; cook stirring constantly until onion is transparent and rice begins to brown.
3. Stir in the broth, turmeric, cinnamon and salt.
4. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
5. The last 5 minutes, stir in the raisins.
6. Remove from heat, stir in parsley, cover and let stand, covered for 5 minutes.
