Basmati Rice with Dressing - 8 servings

Preparation: 5 min. Cooking: 25 min. Total: 30 min.
  • 1 quart water or chicken stock
  • 2 cups basmati rice
  • 1/8 tsp saffron
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1-1/2 cups celery, diced
  • 1/4 lb canned sliced mushrooms
  • 3/4 cup raisins
  • 1 Tbsp parsley
  • 1 tsp sage
  • 1 tsp marjoram
  • 2 small apples, peeled, cored and diced
  • 1 cup chicken stock

Bring water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Stir in rice and saffron and immediately reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 15-20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes, covered. Fluff with a fork and chill thoroughly before mixing dressing.

Heat butter in oil in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat. Sauté onion and celery 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently until onions are translucent. Add mushrooms and sauté 2 minutes. Stir in rice and remaining ingredients, except stock, and mix thoroughly. Add enough chicken stock to moisten mixture. Serve immediately.
