BASMATI RICE SALAD WITH MANDARIN ORANGES
Many a great recipe started just this way: The reicpe in the cookbook sounds good, but none of this, or none that, too little....We've all been there and as they say: "Necessity is the mother of invention". This is good served on a few leaves of butter or bibb lettuce.

Steps:
- 1. Place water, salt and butter in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add Basmati rice. Return to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Then remove from heat and let stand about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and allow to cool.

- 4. In a large bowl, toss together rice, currants, juice, oil and vinegar.
- 5. Just before serving, add mandarin orange slices and slivered almonds. Best served at room temp.
