Description

This quick-to-make rice side dish has a deep red color and a pleasant tart flavor. It is especially suitable for decorating a festive table and pairs well with poultry and meat dishes.

Ingredients

Basmati rice - 10.6 oz
Salt - ½ teaspoon
Orange juice concentrate - 4 fl oz
Mustard Greens - 1 tablespoon
Chicken Broth - 3 cups
Dried cranberries with sugar - 8.8 oz
Orange zest - 0.7 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Bring the chicken broth to a boil, add the rice to the pot with the broth, season with salt, reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for 20 minutes until the rice absorbs all the liquid.

Step 2

Wash and sort the cranberries. Set aside a handful of berries for garnishing the dish, then bring the remaining cranberries to a boil in a saucepan with the orange juice, zest, and mustard. Simmer the mixture over low heat for 3 minutes, then combine it with the almost cooked rice and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Transfer the rice to well-greased molds, then serve on individual plates, garnished with thin strips of orange zest (zest from half an orange, grated) and cranberries. Serve immediately.
