Festive Rice Stuffing
The tastes of tart green apples and sweet raisins complement the undertone of curry in this versatile stuffing. Use Wehani rice or any unseasoned rice blend.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Wehani or rice blend
- 3 cups water
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp canola oil
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/4 cup diced celery
- 2 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 2 Tbs medium curry powder
- 1/4 cup apple juice
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1 1/2 cups diced Granny Smith apple
Directions
- Rinse rice and let drain. Bring water and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in rice, cover, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Transfer the cooked rice to a strainer and rinse quickly with cold water to stop cooking. Drain the rice thoroughly, then transfer to a mixing bowl.
- As the rice cooks, heat oil in a small skillet until hot but not smoking. Add onion and toss to coat with oil. Cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Reduce heat and continue to cook, stirring often, until onion is soft, about 8 minutes.
- Raise heat to medium. Add garlic, celery, mushrooms, and curry. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms have softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in apple juice and cook just to blend.
- Add the mushroom mixture along with the raisins and apples to the rice and stir to combine. Reheat stuffing in a 350F (175C) oven for 20 minutes before serving.
- Serve the rice as a side dish or as a stuffing for bell peppers, prebaked winter squash, or eggplant.
