Curried Rice with Raisins and Cashews is a quick and easy rice dish that would be great as a side for Thanksgiving. Turkey gets all the attention during Thanksgiving and the sides are usually neglected. So we end up with some uninspiring and boring side dishes.I recently made a Iranian Morsaw pilaf from Bon Appetit magazine. You guys have to check out their Instagram page, it’s just amazing. I saw the very pretty looking rice dish and made it for a pot luck. It was very flavorful and absolutely delicious. Everyone liked it at the party. Here’s a version of the Iranian pilaf that I made a few years back.I love rice dishes that are nutty, slightly sweet and slightly spicy. So I found this curried rice with raisins and cashews recipe in the Food Network magazine - Thanksgiving edition. It looked like a perfect side dish to make for any dinner party. It literally takes minutes to cook and tastes fantastic.I used S&B curry powder, but you can use any store bought or homemade curry powder you have on hand. Add it your menu this holiday season and I’m sure you will love it. I served the rice with sauteed edamame and asparagus.This goes for the November: Week 3, Cooking from Cookbook Challenge Group.
