HERBED RICE WITH CURRANTS IN OLIVE OIL AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR
A Persian recipe by Israeli chef Hanoch Bar Shalom. Kosher for Passover only for Sephardim. Bar Shalom suggests making a double amount of the currant mixture to save for garnishing salads, meats and poultry. That part of the recipe is kosher for everybody.
