Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
2 clove garlic, thickly sliced
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup currants
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/8 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cumin
1 cup long grain rice
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 - 2 cup chicken broth
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp fresh italian parsley, chopped

Directions:

Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan set on medium-high heat until sizzling, about 2 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, bay leaf, currants, pine nuts, turmeric, cinnamon and cumin and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the onion is soft.
Stir in the rice and cook for 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the white wine, stir to scrape up any browned bits from the pan bottom and cook for 1 minute, until the wine is absorbed. Stir in the remaining wine, the chicken stock, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove from the heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir the rice to fluff, remove the bay leaf and stir in the parsley. Serve.
