SAVORY CURRIED RICE WITH DRIED FRUIT

Savory Curried Rice With Dried Fruit image

This rice not only looks beautiful, but it's bursting with savory flavors, and your house will smell delicious when you cook this! This is a recipe I adapted from Taste Of Home's Holiday Recipes. I made it my own by altering a few ingredients and adding others, but yield amount and cooking time/method are the same. I like to make the rice mix a day or two ahead to let all the flavors meld. This makes 2 batches of rice.

Time 30m

Yield 2 batches, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 cups uncooked long grain rice
1 cup dried mixed fruit (I use a mixture of dates, apricots, and cranberries)
1 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup raisins or 1/2 cup sultana
2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
4 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients. You can do this a day or two in advance to allow flavors to meld, but it's not necessary.
Combine water and butter in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
Add 2 cups rice mix, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed.
NOTE: I make this a complete meal by adding cooked chicken thighs. You can store this rice mix in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
