This recipe came from a book about the healing properties of food. The main healing ingredient is turmeric. I could not tell you why though. My recipe card smells of turmeric from when I make this recipe. I serve this with my Indian Lima Beans. My husband says this meal cures a sore throat. This is one of my all time favorite meals.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups basmati rice, rinsed and soaked for an hour
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons pine nuts
2 large onions, diced
1 cup raisins
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

1
Heat the oil in a 2 quart sauce pan.
2
Toast pine nuts until they are fragrant, about 3 minutes.
3
Add onions and cook until soft.
4
Add raisins, rice, turmeric and salt.
5
Add water until rice is covered. boil and cook until the water has mostly absorbed. Keep this up until the rice is cooked, about 25 minutes (almost like cooking a risotto).
