Ingredients:

  • 1 -2 cups left over cooked rice - we had out 'basmati oh so nice rice' posted here which we served the previous night with the added loads of fresh minced cilantro and scallions.
  • 1/2- 1 cup of raisins

Directions:

  1. Reheat rice - either in your microwave (which I refer to as the nuker) or in a pot in the oven.
  2. Take 1 cup of boiling water and reconstitute (big word here) raisins in heat-safe bowl so they become plump.
  3. In a skillet, sautee up the onions and celery with a little butter/olive oil or veggie oil - whatever your preference, till onions are translucent and celery still has some crunch to it. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. Throw almonds in same skillet and toss till toasted and set aside.
  5. Once rice is heated through, drain off raisins well then add to rice, add sauteed onions and celery and stir rice till all ingredients are combined.
  6. Sprinkle toasted almonds on top - and voila - the rice is ready for round two.
  7. You can easily put this all together and stuff your bird - add chopped toasted instead of the almonds and you got yourself one heck of a rice stuffing!
  8. Rock on with your Twice as Nice Rice!
