By WheretheMagicHappens

Very good with chicken or fish

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 tbsp Onion, minced
• 1 cup Long-grain White Rice (not quick cooking)
• 1-1/2 cups Chicken Broth
• 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
• Rind of one Lemon, finely grated
• 2 tbsp Currants
• 1/4 cup Slivered Almonds, toasted

Preparation

Step 1

In a 2-quart saucepan, melt butter and saute onion until transparent. Add raw rice and stir to coat grains with butter. Stir in chicken broth, lemon juice and lemon rind. Bring to a boil, then immediately lower heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, covered.

When almost all the liquid is absorbed, stir in currants. Continue simmering, covered, until all liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and add almonds just before serving.
