-------SEASONING MIX--------
2 Teaspoons Salt
1 1/2 Teaspoons White pepper
1 Teaspoon Garlic powder
1 Teaspoon Dry mustard
1 Teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
1/2 Teaspoon Black pepper
------RICE INGREDIENTS------
1/4 Cup Vegetable oil
1 Cup Chopped onions
1 Cup Chopped green bell peppers
1/2 Cup Pecan halves, dry roasted
1/2 Cup Raisins
4 Tablespoons Unsalted butter
1 1/2 Cups Uncooked rice (converted)
3 Cups beef stock
2 Cups Chopped unpeeled apples
Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the oil over high heat until very hot, about 2
minutes. Add the onions and bell peppers; saute about 2 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Add the pecans (we ran out of pecans, so Lucy substituted
hickory nuts - good!) and continue cooking for about 3 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Add the raisins and butter (these are added together so the
raisins will absorb as much butter as possible). Stir until butter is melted,
then cook until raisins are plump, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add
the rice and seasoning mix and cook until rice starts looking frizzly (a bit
like ce Krispies) Chef Prudhomme recommended using converted rice. Lucy used
brown, long grain rice - super!. This will require about 2 to 3 minutes,
stirring almost constantly before the rice looks "frizzly".
Stir in the stock, scraping pan bottom well, then stir in the apples.
Cover pan and bring to boil; lower heat and simmer covered for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and let sit, *COVERED*, until rice is tender and stock is
absorbed, about 30 minutes. (We cook the rice this slow way to let the flavors
build to their maximum.) Serve immediately, allowing about 3/4 cup per
person.
