How to Make Baked Brown Rice With Curry Raisins And Cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in an oven-safe saucepan or 1 ½-quart casserole dish. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and ½ cup raisins.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the onion is softened and lightly golden (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
- Stir in 1 cup brown rice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon curry powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Cover the dish tightly.
- Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Check halfway through and stir gently if needed to prevent sticking.
- Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Stir in ½ cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts) and serve warm.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
