Her Almond Currant Rice is 9-year-old Whitney's favorite. 'Stirring in the almonds and currants at the last minute is a snap, and we love the flavor,' Felicia says. 'You can substitute your favorite dried fruits and nuts if you like.'
i tried this recipe with brown rice and the almonds i used were chopped and roasted from the bulk section at our grocery store. it tastes great! it was so easy to make ( i used a rice cooker and then just threw handfuls of almonds and currants in). i love the taste and it is a well rounded dish because of the fat and protein in the almonds and you get a fruit serving mixed in there! it is mild enough to go with a wide variety of dishes. i tried it with broccoli and breaded chicken breasts.

Very good and easy rice. Served with the Lemon-Orange Orange Roughy from this site and it was a good combination.
Very good, we really enjoyed this. I cooked the rice in my rice cooker in vegetable stock (I used brown rice, not instant). I used toasted cashews in place of the almonds b/c I had some to use up. I omitted the butter. I added some sliced green onion right before serving. Thanks for the recipe:)
