Carbs: 12g




Cinnamon Scented Rice


Ingredients

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2/3 cup white basmati rice
2 green or brown cardamom pods or 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
3 whole cloves
1 bay leaf
1 cinnamon stick, broken in half, or 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup water
1 cup (8-fl-oz) Glucerna® Homemade Vanilla Shake

Serve with Grilled Cajun Spiced Fish, Spicy Grilled Chicken Breast, Curry Chicken or Turkey.


Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
     
  2. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to toast the rice. Add the cardamom, cloves, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and salt and continue to stir.
     
  3. Add the water and bring to a simmer.
     
  4. Add the Glucerna and continue to cook until it begins to simmer. (Do not allow the mixture to come to a boil.)
     
  5. Remove from the heat. Pour the mixture into an 8-inch-by-8-inch oven-safe baking dish. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
     
  6. Place on the middle rack of the oven and cook for 30 minutes. Check the rice. It may need an additional 5 minutes to absorb all of the liquid.
     
  7. Remove from the oven. Allow the rice to steam covered for 5 minutes. Remove the cover. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
