Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup orange rind, finely chopped
1/2 cup dried apricot, finely chopped
1/4 cup dry white wine
5 cups water
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 cup brown rice
1 cup white rice
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
140 g water chestnuts, drained
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
6 spring onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Soak orange peel and apricots in wine.
  • Bring 5 cups of water to the boil. I find the water to rice ratio is usually 3:1 for brown and 2:1 for white. Your brand may be different so follow the guidelines for water quantity for boiling the brand you are using.
  • Add bouillon cubes to the boil and add brown rice only.
  • Boil brown rice for 20 minutes and then add white rice.
  • Reduce heat and cook for another 20 minutes or until rice is tender.
  • Drain rice and combine with all other ingredients.
