Cinnamon Brown Rice

4 servings

• 1 cup brown rice, long grain
• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1/2 cup dried currants
• 1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Cook the brown rice in the 2 1/2 cups water.

While rice is cooking, place the 1/2 cup slivered almonds on a flat oven pan and put into a 350° preheated oven. Cook 8-10 minutes until almonds start to turn a light golden color. Turn over and cook another 3-5 minutes. Set aside to cool off.

When rice has finished cooking, stir in currants, almonds, and cinnamon. Serve immediately, or keep warm in the pan for up to 20 minutes

Bon appetit!
