  • Combine water and butter in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
  • Add 2 cups rice mix, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed.

SMOKED-TURKEY AND FRUIT WRAP WITH CURRIED AïOLI



Smoked-Turkey and Fruit Wrap with Curried Aïoli image

Provided by Scott Winkelhausen

Categories     Sandwich     Fruit     turkey     Super Bowl     Quick & Easy     Apple     Pear     Curry     Fall     Poker/Game Night     Tortillas     Lettuce     Gourmet     Texas

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon curry powder
4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
2 cups thinly sliced soft-leaf lettuce such as Boston (from 1 head)
1 medium sweet onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
1 medium Granny Smith apple, cut into 1/4-inch-thick matchsticks
1 firm-ripe pear (preferably Anjou or Bosc), cut into 1/4-inch-thick matchsticks
1/2 pound thinly sliced smoked turkey

Steps:

  • Stir together mayonnaise, garlic, and curry powder to make aïoli.
  • Lightly toast tortillas, 1 at a time, directly on burner (gas or electric) at moderately low heat, turning over once with tongs, until browned in spots but still flexible, about 30 seconds on each side.
  • Spread 2 tablespoons curried aïoli on each tortilla. Divide lettuce, onion, apple, pear, and turkey among tortillas, layering them evenly. Tightly roll up tortillas and cut in half diagonally.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fruit. Not all fruits are created equal when it comes to curries. Some fruits, like apples and pears, hold their shape well and can withstand the cooking process. Others, like berries and bananas, are more delicate and may break down.
  • Use a variety of spices. Curry powder is a great starting point, but don't be afraid to experiment with other spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric.
  • Don't overcook the fruit. Fruit should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked fruit will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Serve with rice or yogurt. Curried fruit is often served with rice or yogurt. The rice helps to absorb the sauce, while the yogurt provides a cooling contrast to the spicy curry.

Conclusion:

Curried fruit is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover fruit, and it is also a healthy and affordable option. So next time you're looking for something new to try, give curried fruit a try. You won't be disappointed!
