Your family will love this festive tasting rice. The combination of apple and cranberries can make any dinner feel like a celebration. This healthy rice is given its fruity flavour from apples, apple juice, cranberries and cinnamon. There is no butter or cream in this delectable dish.

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups brown rice, cooked
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cup apple juice
  • 1 apple, cored and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

  1. Cook rice according to package instructions.
  2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion for 4 minutes, or until fragrant.
  3. Add rice, apple juice, apple, raisins, parsley, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Stirring occasionally, simmer for 10 minutes, or until apples soften and sauce is absorbed by the rice.
  4. Plate and enjoy!
