Fruitful Spiced Rice

Ingredients

• 1 onion
• 1 Carrot
• 4 oranges
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 150 g cooked white rice
• 300 ml Vegetable broth
• 0.5 tsp ground coriander
• 0.5 tsp ground cardamom
• 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
• Salt
• black pepper (ground)
• 2 tbsp raisins
• parsley

Instructions

1. 1.

   Peel the onion and slice into thin strips. Peel, wash, and cut the carrot into 2 cm long, wood‑thin sticks. Juice three oranges and measure out 150 ml of juice.

2. 2.

   Heat oil in a high‑sided pan, sauté onion and carrot while stirring. Rinse the rice, add it to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes.

3. 3.

   Pour in vegetable broth and orange juice. Add coriander, cinnamon, cardamom, salt, and pepper; cover and simmer on low heat for about 40 minutes.

4. 4.

   Using a sharp knife, peel the remaining orange thickly so that all white pith is removed. Separate the flesh from the skin and catch the released juice in a small bowl. Soak raisins in this orange juice.

5. 5.

   Season the finished rice with salt and pepper. Fold in orange slices and soaked raisins; let everything rest for another 5 minutes before serving garnished with parsley.
