Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups long grain white rice
4 cups water, approximately
1/4 cup golden raisin
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/8 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon saffron (optional)
plain yogurt, for serving

Steps:

  • Wash rice well. Place 2 cups rice in a rice maker (or pot), add 4 cups water, or enough water to just cover the rice with no grains sticking out.
  • Add raisins, salt, cinnamon, saffron (optional) and then drizzle olive oil around in a circle over the rice mixture. Mix well with spoon so rice and ingredients are blended together. There should be enough cinnamon added to give off a strong scent of cinnamon. Adjust amount as needed.
  • Cook rice in rice maker or pot and after rice is cooked, stir ingredients together one more time. Spoon onto large platter and serve with plain, nonfat yogurt.
