Directions
Fragrant Apricot Rice, This rice dish is made lively with dried apricots, fresh ginger root, onion, garlic, coriander and basil Make a meal out of this or serve as a side , This was perfect with simple roasted chicken We couldn’t decide if the dish were moreEast Indian, Thai-influenced, Middle Eastern They we finally settled on a happy combination of all three First I rinsed the rice under cold water in a sieve for 1 minute (plain white long grain rice but I think you could very easily sub jasmine or basmati depending on your menu) Finely minced the onion and garlic in a food processor and lightly sauteed with the rice Added the wine (locally vintered) for another minute until absorbed and added only half of the zest, lightly crushed coriander seeds, unsulphured Turkish apricots Used vegetable broth and garnished with the zest, fresh basil and roasted cashews Loved it! We especially liked the ginger because it didn’t overpower the other flavors as it can if overused Prepared for Veg Tag/May and definitely going into my Best of 2012 cookbook! Thanks!
