List of Ingredients




1 orange spice tea bag
2 1/2 cups boiling water
3/4 cup long-grain brown rice
1 Fuji apple, cored and chopped
1 can (11 oz.) mandarin oranges, drained
1/2 cup dried currants
1/3 cup orange juice
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbsp. canola oil
1/3 cup pecans, chopped


Recipe



Place the tea bag in a medium saucepan. Pour in boiling water and steep 5 minutes. Remove tea bag. Add rice and set the pot over medium-high heat. When liquid boils, reduce heat, cover and simmer 35 minutes. Remove from heat and let rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Drain rice in a colander, letting it sit 15 minutes to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, place the apple, orange sections and currants in a large mixing bowl. Add orange and lemon juices, salt, and pepper. Mix in the oil.

Add warm rice to the fruit and combine, using a fork. Transfer mixture to a serving bowl. Sprinkle pecans on top and serve.
