far east fruited rice
This recipe is simple and tastes great when served cold or warm. The rice I use for this is a basmati-style rice grown in the USA, When this rice is cooked, the grains swell only lengthwise,giving it a long slender grain that are dry, light and separate. It has a great aroma and delicious flavor. Great used in casseroles and is ideal for absorbing sauces.If you do not have this type of rice you can substitute with Jasmine or regular white rice. I hope you like this dish- It is so good you will want to serve to your guests.
