Ingredients

1 cup brown rice, uncooked

1 1/2 cups vegetable broth

1/2 cup orange juice

2 T. orange zest

1 1/2 t. curry powder

1 1/2 t. ground cumin

1 large bell pepper, any color, seeded and chopped (1 cup)

1 medium onion, chopped (3/4 cup)

1/4 cup raisins

chopped parsley or cilantro

1 fresh mango or peach, chopped

Preparation

  1. Put rice, broth, oj, zest, curry powder, cumin, pepper, and onion in a rice cooker or covered pot and cook about 40 minutes, until rice is one.
  2. Add raisins when rice is just cooked. Stir and let stand a few minutes so raisins plump up.
  3. Add parsley. Serve topped with chopped mango or peach or eat as is with steamed broccoli or greens.

Note: If fresh mangoes or peaches are not available, substitute mango chutney.
