Rice with Dried Apricots and Ghee

A light rice dish for a nourishing breakfast! Rice with dried fruit fills you up nicely without weighing you down. It pairs beautifully with herbal tea, and it's lovely served with a whole-fruit homemade jam (cherry, strawberry, or sweet cherry). Sweet spices give the rice an extra-special touch, too.

  • To make rice with dried fruit, rinse the amount of rice you need, put it in a pot, and pour boiling water over it. Add the salt, sugar, and ghee (you can use regular butter instead). Add sweet spices if you like, to taste—real vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, and so on. Bring the rice to a boil and cook over the lowest heat for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the rice sit on the stove for 15 minutes. Depending on the variety, the rice will be more or less fluffy, or a bit sticky; I used parboiled rice here. Spoon the finished rice onto plates and top each portion with plain raisins and diced dried apricots.
