Preparation

Step 1

In a sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat, stir in onion, cooking until almost translucent, then stir in rice, garlic, apple and raisins. Sauté for 3 or 4 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, simmer 16 to 18 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is done. You can reduce the butter by using cooking spray, and one pat of butter. Variations: Use a long grain wild rice mixture or brown rice adjusting the liquid and cooking time to accommodate.

If you have a rice cooker you can combine all the ingredients after sautéing in the butter, into the cooker and follow the manufacturer's instructions for amount of liquid compared to rice and cooking times.
