My friend Stephen in New Jersey teases me because I like to cook things in orange juice. I have cooked yams sliced up in orange juice and I like to use it to cook rice in once in a while.
When I do the rice, I use:
Two cups of orange juice,
1 cup of washed basmati rice (yes, I rinse it under cold water using a sieve),
I add 1 tbsp of butter,
A dash of salt (I would use about a teaspoon, but I'm supposed to be cutting back because of the high blood pressure)
Then depending on my mood I will add various complimentary spices such as:
2 tablespoons of mild to medium curry
or
1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger
or
1 teaspoon of hot pepper seeds
or
2 teaspoons of tumeric and cumin
