ORANGE AND CRANBERRY RICE PILAF
This is an extremely flavorful rice pilaf and if you love the taste of curry & marmalade you will most definitely enjoy this.

Steps:
- 1. In a large saucepan saute celery and onion in butter till tender. Remove from pan and set aside. Now saute your mushrooms till tender and set aside. I love the color of the sauteed veggies.
- 2. Now brown your rice in a pan for about 5 minutes and then cook as directed on box (15 minutes usually) but with your chicken broth and spices. When rice is finished add your sauteed veggies, cranberries and your marmalade.
- 3. Stir in your parsley last and then plate it. Add your orange zest for garnish. I set the nuts in a bowl on the table for those who can have them and want them. Mainly cause my husband can't have them.
- 4. Now this is not how I made this tonight. I added all the sauteed veggies and cranberries in the rice while cooking. Well, I really am disappointed with how my dish looks....yes, I am. I am posting though I am disgusted. I prefer the brightness and crunch of slightly sauteed celery and I love the mushrooms freshness too. So, it only makes sense to me to add them last; however, if you don't care about crunch and brightness just add them into your rice while cooking. Oh, and I also tried adding 1/2 cup of fresh squeezed orange juice in place of the chicken broth. That must of changed the color of the rice....no didn't like that either. LOL
