Cinnamon-Apple Rice

This side-dish is so healthy, it almost doesn’t belong on OntheFly…

[Prep: 5min / Cook: 20min]

Ingredients

– 1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
– 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
– 1 cup apple juice
– half a chicken stock cube
– 1/2 an onion
– 1 or 2 celery ribs
– about 1 cup of walnuts
– 1 apple
– 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Steps
  1. Mix the uncooked rice together in a saucepan with the apple juice, chicken stock cube and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil and let simmer unter water is absorbed and rice is fully cooked (about 15 min).
  2. Chop the onion, celery and walnuts. Core and chop the apple.
  3. Heat a large frying pan or wok over high heat and coat the pan with a small bit of olive oil or butter. Add the onions and celery and saute until softened.
  4. Add the cooked rice, walnuts and apple. Coat with cinnamon, mix well and heat for about a minute or two more.
  5. Ready to eat!

Notes
  • The apples in this dish don’t taste so great the next day, so if you’re planning for left-overs, maybe leave the apples out or pack the whole mixture with the apples separate.
  • The mixture of brown and white rice is a key part of the texture and flavor of this dish, but it would also go quite well with wild rice.
