Recipe Information

Recipe Created By: Amy Hugon

Ingredients

2 Tbsp margarine OR canola oil
2 Tbsp dried minced onion
2 tsp minced fresh or jarred garlic
6-8 baby carrots, diced
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups uncooked rice
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/3 cup dried cherries
6 dried apricots, diced

Directions

In a large saucepan, melt the margarine or heat the oil. Saute the onion, garlic, and carrots for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the cumin and salt in, stirring. When they're looking nicely browned, stir in the rice. Stir and brown for about 3 more minutes.

Pour in chicken broth, and dried fruit. Turn heat up to bring to a boil.

Once it's boiling, turn the heat down to low and cover the pot. Cook for about 15 minutes, until water is absorbed. Check at 10 minutes, stirring through, to ensure bottom is not sticking.

Serve hot.
