Curried Rice Pilaf

This recipe was sent to my by my neighbor, Danielle. I adjusted it to make it a little more points friendly. It was outstanding. I think this dish would accompany beef, chicken or pork quite well.

serves 8 ( 1/2 generous cup = 5 points +)

• 1/2 c. chopped green onion, divided
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 1/2 c. uncooked rice( I used Jasmine Rice)
• 3 c.  fat-free chicken broth
• 3/4 tsp. curry powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 c. golden raisins
• 1/2 c. sliced almonds, toasted

Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add 1/4 c. green onions and garlic. Cook until tender. Stir in rice and cook 2-3 minutes. Add broth, curry powder and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer very low until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. ( 15-20 minutes) Stir in raisins, remaining green onions and almonds.
