Savory Curried Rice With Dried Fruit Recipe - Food.com 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.

Number Of Ingredients 10

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.
