Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c white rice or brown rice
1/3 c chopped dried apples
1/3 c slivered almonds, toasted
1 Tbsp parsely flakes
1 Tbsp chicken boullion granules
2/3 c apple juice or apple cider
1 Tbsp butter
1 1/2 c water

Steps:

  • 1. Combine rice, apples, almonds, parsley, bouillon granules, apple juice/cider, butter and water in a 2 to 3 quart saucepan.
  • 2. For brown rice, use 1 3/4 c water; white rice uses 1 c of water.

  • 5. Cook for 15 minutes (45 minutes for brown rice) or until the liquid is absorbed.
  • 6. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve!

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot to cook the rice. This will help prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any starch from the rice, which will help prevent it from becoming gummy.
  • Add salt to the water when cooking the rice. This will help to flavor the rice.
  • Cook the rice over low heat. This will help to prevent the rice from overcooking.
  • Once the rice is cooked, let it stand for a few minutes before fluffing it with a fork. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
  • Serve the rice immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use.

Conclusion:

Apple almond rice is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice.
