Jeweled Rice




Source of Recipe


Originally from Culinary Net


List of Ingredients




* 1 1/2 tablespoons light olive oil
* 2 cups long-grain rice, preferably basmati
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 4 cups hot water
* 1 large, ripe red or green USA pear, cored and diced
* 2/3 cup chopped Blue Ribbon Orchard Choice or Sun-Maid Calimyrna or Mission figs
* 1 large carrot, peeled and grated
* 2/3 cup Georgia pecan halves, toasted


Recipe



In medium pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add rice and salt; cook, stirring frequently, until rice is lightly toasted.

Add hot water, cover and simmer on low heat 15 to 20 minutes or until rice is almost tender. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 to 10 minutes or until tender.

Transfer rice to large platter. Scatter pears, figs, carrots and pecans over rice. Gently toss.

Make Ahead Tip: This dish tastes great at room temperature, so it can be made a few hours ahead. However, to avoid browning, add pears just before serving.
