This recipe comes from the package of apricots I have in my pantry. I love the flavors of the Mediterranean and thought this sounded yummy. If you would like and have some cooked chicken, you can shred the chicken and add to the dish along with the apricots for a light main course. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 -2 garlic clove, finely chopped |
1/2 teaspoon cumin |
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger |
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon |
2 cups chicken stock |
1 cup water |
1 1/2 cups long grain white rice |
3/4 cup dried apricot, chopped |
1/4 cup chopped green onion |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, over medium heat, warm the olive oil, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
2. Stir in the chicken stock and water; bring to a boil.
3. Add the rice; reduce heat, cover and cook for 15 minutes or until rice is almost tender.
4. Stir in seasonings, apricots and green onion; cook an additional 5 minutes to blend flavors.
