Title: Rice, Apple And Raisin Dressing
Categories: Cajun
Servings: 8
-------------------------------SEASONING MIX-------------------------------
2 ts Salt
1 ts Garlic powder
1 ts Ground cayenne pepper
1 1/2 ts White pepper
1 ts Dry mustard
1/2 ts Black pepper
------------------------------RICE INGREDIENTS------------------------------
1/4 c Vegetable oil
1 c Green bell peppers; chopped
1/2 c Raisins
1 1/2 c Uncooked rice (converted)
2 c Apples; unpeeled, chopped
1 c Onions; chopped
1/2 c Pecan halves; dry roasted
4 tb Unsalted butter
3 c Pork stock, beef stock, or
- chicken stock
Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
In a 2 qt saucepan, heat the oil over high heat until very hot,
about 2 minutes. Add the onions and bell peppers; saute about
2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the pecans and continue
cooking for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the raisins
and butter. These are added together so the raisins will absorb as
much butter as possible. Stir until butter is melted, then cook
until raisins are plump, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the rice and seasoning mix and cook until rice starts looking
frizzly, a bit like Rice Krispies. This will require about 2 to
3 minutes, stirring almost constantly before the rice looks
"frizzly". Stir in the stock, scraping pan bottom well, then stir
in the apples. Cover pan and bring to boil; lower heat and simmer
covered for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, until
rice is tender and stock is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Serve
immediately, allowing about 3/4 cup per person.
