CASHEW RICE
BECAUSE it is so versatile, this colorful side dish is one of my standbys. You can serve it with most any entree, and with the "magic" of instant rice, it's ready in a short time. The vegetables add a touch of color while the cashews give this economical dish a "gourmet touch". -Pat Habiger, Spearville, Kansas

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh oranges. If you only have access to store-bought orange juice, make sure it's 100% pure and not from concentrate.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of cashews and brown sugar to your liking. If you want a sweeter dish, add more brown sugar. If you want a more savory dish, add more cashews.
- To make sure the rice is cooked evenly, use a large pot with a tight-fitting lid. This will help the rice to steam and cook evenly.
- If you don't have a steamer basket, you can use a colander or a metal sieve. Just make sure that it fits inside the pot and that there is enough space between the rice and the water so that the rice can cook properly.
- Serve the orange cashew rice with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled chicken, fish, or tofu.
