Scheherazade and Tender-Hearts Salad Curried Brown Rice Pilaf
Serves 2
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon soybean oil
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
Ground pepper to taste, and salt, if you can't do without it
Dash Cayenne
1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
1 tablespoon raisins (optional)
1 can (10-ounces) low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon snipped fresh or frozen chives
Directions:
Preheat oven to 3500F. In small, non-stick skillet over
medium-low heat, heat oil. Sauté onion and spices and salt, if you're
using it, in hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes until tender but not browned. Stir
in rice and raisins; remove from heat and set aside.
In an ovenproof saucepan, over high heat, bring chicken
broth and water to a boil. Stir in rice mixture; cover and boil 5 minutes.
Place covered saucepan in oven and continue to cook 45 to 50 minutes until
rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed. To serve, toss pilaf with
chives.
