    PINEAPPLE - MACADAMIA RICE


    Source of Recipe


    Tea Cozy

    List of Ingredients




    1 Tbsp vegan margarine
    1-1/2 cup long grain white rice
    2 tsp minced garlic
    1/2 red bell pepper, diced
    1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced
    3 cups strong chicken-like seasoning
    1/2 cup golden raisins
    1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
    A couple of fresh sage leaves
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    1 cup diced pineapple (drained, if you use canned)

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 375oF. In a flameproof casserole, melt margarine at medium-high and add the rice. Stir for a few seconds until the butter coats the rice. Add the garlic and stir for a few more seconds, but not long enough to let the
    rice change color, or burn the garlic. Add the red and yellow bell pepper. Cook for a few more seconds.

    Add the chicken-like seasoning and bring mixture to a gentle boil.

    Add the raisins, nuts, sage and salt. Cover and place in oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest (without uncovering) for another 10 minutes. Add the cilantro and pineapple bits. Correct seasoning, if
    necessary and serve at once.

    NOTE: If I use canned pineapple bits, I save the syrup and add it to the chicken-like broth to make up the amount of liquid needed.

    NOTE II: It is better to use unsalted macadamia nuts. If you would like to get more taste out of the nuts, "toast" them at medium-high in a heavy skillet for a couple of minutes. Do not brown or burn.
