List of Ingredients

3/4 cup raw long grain brown rice
1/2 cup raw pearl barley
1 cup chopped mixed dried fruits
1/2 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
2 teaspoons butter
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cinnamon stick, broken in half


Recipe

Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a 2 quart baking dish, combine the rice, barley and dried fruits. In a saucepan, combine the orange juice, orange peel, butter, salt and cinnamon stick with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, stirring until the butter melts. Pour the liquid over the rice mixture, stir once with a fork, and cover the baking dish tightly with a sheet of foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, until the rice and barley are tender and the liquid is absorbed. Before serving, discard the cinnamon stick and fluff the casserole with a fork. Serves 4.
