While I have time I'll post a few more...BTW, Love the crockpot recipe!

Basmati Rice pilaf

1/2 white onion
5-6 cremini or button mushrooms

sauteed in 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp of butter until browned and softened

Add

2 TBSP curry paste
1 tsp of ground coriander, cumin and chili powder
1 tsp cinnamon
salt and pepper

1 cup of basmati rice (rinsed well)

toast in pan with spices and veggies

Add 1 cup water 1 cup low sodium chicken stock (total 2 cups liquid)
1/2 cup raisins

Cover and cook until rice is tender then fork until fluffy.

I add about 1/4 cup of toasted nuts, whatever I have on hand.

This takes about 20 minutes with 12 minutes of the 20 being cook time.
