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
