This ia a great recipe i adapted from 'Cooking for Dummies'. I love the sweet and sour taste. (A great side dish for this meal would be baked chicken drumlets seasoned with curry powder)

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic (peeled and minced)
1 cup long-grain white rice (uncooked)
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/4 cup raisins
1 slice lemon (thin)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tomatoes, chopped
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup parsley, chopped (optional)
1 pinch pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the chicken stock- let it simmer while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • Melt the butter in a frying pan and saute the garlic and onion for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the rice and tumeric powder to the garlic and onions, and lightly fry the mixture until the rice is yellowed (about 2 minutes).
  • Transfer the rice/onion/garlic mixture to a small pot, then add raisins, lemon slice, and salt to the mixture.
  • Add the chicken stock into the rice mixture, making sure that there isn't too much or too little liquid (the liquid level should be about 1 inch above the rice level) Bring mixture to a boil, then bring to low heat, allowing to simmer for about 20 minutes.
  • Stir occasionally to prevent the rice at the bottom from getting burnt.
  • Mix in remaining ingredients (cinammon, parsley, tomato, pepper).
  • Serve warm.

This rice pilaf was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.
