Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup chopped onion
¼ cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 cup rice
⅛ teaspoon white pepper
2 cups chicken stock
½ cup golden raisins
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
1 cup whole roasted cashews
Salt and pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat butter and cook onion, celery, curry powder, and garlic until tender. Add rice, pepper, and chicken stock. Stir well. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender.
While the rice is cooking, roast cashew nuts. In a heavy bottomed skillet, spread your nuts out in an even layer and heat over medium, shaking often – don't overcrowd your nuts. Keep stirring or shaking for about 5 minutes, or until nuts are fragrant and browned.
Fold in the raisins, green onions, and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Cover pot with a towel and then the lid and let rest for 10 minutes.
Garnish with whole roasted cashew nuts and serve.
