List of Ingredients




1 cup brown basmati rice
1 14-ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon mild or hot curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 generous pinch finely crumbled saffron threads, (see Note)
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/3 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped celery
3/4 cup coarsely chopped dried cherries
1/2 cup chopped scallions, or chives, divided
1 cup fresh dark sweet cherries, pitted and chopped
3/4 cup unsalted mixed nuts, preferably pistachios, almonds and cashews, chopped, divided


Recipe



Combine rice, broth, water, curry powder, turmeric and saffron in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stir once, cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 35 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes more. Fluff with a fork.
Combine oil, lemon juice, honey, orange zest, ginger and salt in a large, non-reactive bowl (see Note). Stir in the cooked rice, celery, dried cherries and 1/4 cup scallions (or chives). Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
To serve, fold fresh cherries and 1/2 cup mixed nuts into the rice mixture. Serve at room temperature, garnished with the remaining 1/4 cup scallions (or chives) and mixed nuts.
