The rice is cooked in chicken broth instead of water to give it a good flavor. This dish would complement any meat, poultry, or fish. Delicious!
INGREDIENTS (for 4 servings):
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 2 tablespoons raisins
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
PREPARATION:
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion, stirring, until tender. Stir in the rice, raisins, broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, or until rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed. Stir in almonds before serving.
