Rice Pilaf with Raisins and Veggies

Rice Pilaf with Raisins and Veggies

Surprisingly easy and extremely flavorful. The curry powder does not add an actual curry taste, just a nice rich flavor, so give it a try even if you aren’t a curry fan.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 stalks celery, chopped
  • ½ large onion, diced
  • 4 green onions, white and green parts separated and sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups uncooked white rice
  • ½ cup golden raisins

Directions

Step 1
Bring chicken broth to boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat; continue simmering while preparing remaining ingredients.

Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir celery, onion, green onion white portions, garlic, curry powder, and salt in the hot oil until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a bowl.

Step 3
