INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Just a few recipes from Country Living I downloaded and wanted to share.
1. In heavy 5-quart Dutch oven, heat 2 quarts water to boiling over high
heat. Stir in rice and 1 t salt; return to boiling and cook, uncovered, 10
minutes. (Rice will not be completely cooked. Drain rice thoroughly in
strainer.
2. In same pan, melt butter with 2 tablespoons oil over low heat. Spoon
half of hot rice into pan and press down with the back of spoon to make a
firm layer that covers bottom of pan. Spoon remaining rice loosely on top
of bottom layer, then top this with carrot strips. Cover top of pan with a
linen towel (folded so edges are not near heat source) and a tight lid.
Cook 35 to 40 minutes or until the bottom layer of rice forms a crisp,
golden crust. (After 20 minutes, check to see if a crisp, golden crust is
forming by lifting bottom layer of rice gently with a fork. If crust is not
forming, increase heat slightly.)
3. Meanwhile, in large skillet, saute chicken in remaining 1 T oil over
medium heat until golden on all sides. Add apple juice, curry powder,
coriander, cumin, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; stir until chicken is
coated with spices. Cook, stiffing frequently, until chicken is cooked
through and liquid has evaporated-about 5 minutes.
4. To serve, in large bowl, combine the steamed top part of rice (reserving
the bottom crust) with carrots, the raisins, pistachios, and almonds; toss
to blend. Spoon rice mixture onto individual plates or serving platter and
top with chicken mixture. Break bottom rice crust into pieces and place
around plate. Serve immediately.
