GRANDMA'S APPLES AND RICE



Grandma's Apples and Rice image

LIKE MOST women of her generation, my husband's grandmother was a "no-measure cook". This recipe of hers suffered as it was handed down, so I made an effort to work out the kinks. Finally, my husband pronounced the results as good as he remembered, and we declared it the "official" recipe. -Joan Kasura, Silver Spring, Maryland

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice. Basmati rice is a long-grain rice that is known for its light and fluffy texture. It is the perfect choice for this dish because it will absorb the flavors of the apple cider and sautéed apples without becoming mushy.
  • Use fresh apples. Fresh apples will give your dish the best flavor. If you can, use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady. This will give your dish a complex flavor profile.
  • Sauté the apples until they are caramelized. This will give them a delicious sweet and savory flavor. Be sure to cook them over medium heat so that they don't burn.
  • Use a good quality apple cider. The apple cider is the star of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for an apple cider that is made with 100% apple juice and that has a deep amber color.
  • Don't overcook the rice. Basmati rice cooks quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.

Conclusion:

Apple Cider and Sautéed Apple Basmati Rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a fall meal. The combination of sweet apples, savory sautéed onions, and fragrant apple cider creates a dish that is both comforting and satisfying.
