Ingredients:
Recipe created by Joy Marr
3 cups brown rice
4 qt water
4 Bigelow Green Jasmine Tea
bags
1 teaspoon salt
2 green onions, sliced thinly
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Prep time 10 minutes
Cooking time 25-30 minutes
Yield: Makes 8 servings
Instructions:
Rinse rice in several changes of cold water until water runs
clear. Drain well in a sieve. Bring water and tea bags to a boil,
set aside. Meanwhile melt butter in large saucepan over medium
heat. Add rice, green onions, salt, pepper and fruits. Stir until
onions start to soften and rice starts to get white around the
edges 8-10 minutes.
Remove tea bags from water, squeezing well, discard. Carefully
pour Bigelow tea water over rice-it will bubble and steam up- stir
and reduce heat to low. Cook, covered, until rice is tender and
liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat, raise lid
and cover rice with a cotton (non terrycloth) dishtowel, replace
cover. Let stand, covered and undisturbed, 10 minutes. Open lid and
remove dishtowel, fluff gently with a fork.
Note: Basmati rice can be used instead of brown rice, for extra
jasmine flavor.
