1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons pecans, finely chopped

1. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add carrot and onion; sauté 5 minutes.
2. Add broth and orange juice, and bring to a boil. Add rice, raisins, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
3. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Sprinkle with pecans.
