Categories     Pork

Time 49m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons white pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, Ground
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup onion, Chopped
1 cup green bell pepper, Chopped
1/2 cup pecan halves, dry roasted
1/2 cup raisins
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups rice, Uncooked, converted
3 cups beef stock or 3 cups chicken stock
2 cups apples, unpeeled, Chopped

Steps:

  • Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the oil over high heat until very hot, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the onions and bell peppers; saute about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the pecans and continue cooking for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the raisins and butter (these are added together so the raisins will absorb as much butter as possible).
  • Stir until butter is melted, then cook until raisins are plump, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the rice and seasoning mix and cook until rice starts looking frizzly (a bit like ce Krispies) Chef Prudhomme recommended using converted rice.
  • This will require about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring almost constantly before the rice looks "frizzly".
  • Stir in the stock, scraping pan bottom well, then stir in the apples.
  • Cover pan and bring to boil; lower heat and simmer covered for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let sit, *COVERED*, until rice is tender and stock is absorbed, about 30 minutes. (We cook the rice this slow way to let the flavors build to their maximum.) Serve immediately, allowing about 3/4 cup per person.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: Stale bread works best for dressing because it absorbs the flavors of the other ingredients more easily. Some good choices include French bread, sourdough, or Italian bread.
  • Cut the bread into small cubes: This will help the dressing cook evenly.
  • Toast the bread cubes: Toasting the bread cubes gives them a nice, crispy texture.
  • Use a variety of ingredients: The best dressings are made with a variety of ingredients, such as apples, raisins, nuts, and herbs. This gives the dressing a complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can make the salad soggy.

Conclusion:

Apple raisin dressing is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of salads. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it sweet, savory, or somewhere in between, apple raisin dressing is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a new salad dressing to try, give apple raisin dressing a try.
