Curried Apple Rice Pilaf

List of Ingredients




2 tsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup basmati rice
1 Granny Smith or Golden Delicious apple, peeled, cored, chopped
1/4 cup chopped dried apricots
1 cinnamon stick
1 Tbs chopped fresh ginger
1 1/4 tsp curry powder
1 tsp salt
2 cups water

Recipe



Heat oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and gently fry until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and stir 30 seconds. Stir in rice, apple, apricots, cinnamon stick, ginger, curry powder and salt. Add 2 cups water and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 18 minutes. Remove from heat. Season to taste with pepper and additional salt, if desired. Transfer pilaf to bowl. Sprinkle with almonds and serve.
