Fruited Basmati Rice Pilaf
Total cook time: 42 minutes | Prep time: 12 minutes

A little bit of salty and a little bit of sweet makes the perfect combination for this basmati rice. You can cook it, freeze it, and reheat it all in the same Ziploc® Endurables™ Medium Container. Simple as that.
Ingredients
-
-
1
cup basmati rice
-
1
Tbsp. virgin coconut oil
-
1
tsp. minced fresh ginger
-
2
cups very hot tap water
-
¼
cup dried currants

Directions

1
Get a pot of water ready to later cook the rice by first selecting a pot that is just a bit larger than the Endurables™ Container. Then, fill with water to about 2 inches below the top rim of pot. Bring water to a boil.

Meanwhile, with zipper open microwave the rice, oil and ginger in Endurables™ Container on a microwave-safe dish for 1 min. on HIGH; stir. Continue microwaving 1 to 2 min. or until rice is lightly toasted, stirring after each minute.

Add the 2 cups water and all remaining ingredients except pistachios to the rice. Squeeze air from Endurables™ Container ; close zipper. Use tongs to carefully add the Container to the pot of boiling water, pressing the Endurables™ Container into the water with tongs to completely submerge under the boiling water.

Cook 30 min., adjusting the heat as necessary to keep the water at a gentle boil.
Tip
For best results, try to completely submerge the Endurables™ Container in the boiling water. However, if the top empty portion of the Endurables™ Container is not submerged, the rice will still cook. Squeezing out the air before closing the Endurables™ Container will allow it to more readily remain under water.
