Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups water

  • 1 cup apple cider

  • 1 cup golden raisins

  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar

  • 1 ¼ cups jasmine rice

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored, and diced

  • 1 small sweet onion, diced

  • 1 stalk celery, diced

  • ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper

  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

  • 1 dash ground cinnamon

  • ¼ cup blanched slivered almonds

Directions

  1. Combine water, apple cider, and golden raisins in a pot. Bring to a boil; add rice. Cook, stirring often, until most of the water is absorbed, about 17 minutes. Mix in white sugar, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon; continue cooking until rice is tender, about 3 minutes more. Remove from heat.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir apple, onion, and celery in the hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Season with white pepper, salt, and a dash of cinnamon. Stir in almonds; cook until starting to brown, 3 to 5 minutes.

  3. Fold apple and almond mixture into rice. Let stand until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Substitute grape juice for the apple cider if desired.
