Saffron Rice Pilaf




Source of Recipe


Heinz It Up


Recipe Introduction


Serves 4


List of Ingredients




1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small red pepper, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup uncooked long grain brown rice
3 1/2 cups Heinz 25% Less Salt Tomato Juice
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp saffron
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup golden raisins

Recipe



Heat the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the
onion, red pepper and garlic and cook until softened and fragrant,
about 6 minutes.

Add the rice, stirring for 1 minute. Stir in the tomato juice, pepper
and saffron. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cook, covered,
for 35 to 40 minutes.

Uncover the pan and stir in the parsley and raisins. Cook, uncovered
for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until almost all the liquid is
absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

Twists:

Twist 1 For a vegetarian entre that provides complete protein, stir in 2 cups drained and rinsed legumes such as chickpeas, kidney beans or black beans during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Twist 2 For a one dish meal, stir in 2 cups cooked fish, seafood or lean chicken, into the rice during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Twist 3 For a folate boost, stir 3 cups chopped spinach, kale or Swiss chard into the rice during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Twist 4 For a flavour twist, omit saffron and substitute chopped fresh basil for the parsley and chopped sun-dried tomato for the raisins.
