For Seasoned Basmati Rice with Roasted Grapes:

4 cups             basmati rice
6 cups             water
1 1/2 tsp.         sea salt (more if desired)
3 each             bay leaf
1/4 tsp.            clove, ground
1/2 tsp.            cardamom ground
2 tsp.               vegetable oil, divided
8 cups             green seedless California grapes

Procedure

  • For Rice: Rinse rice under cool water until water runs clear. Place in sauce pan, cover with water, add salt, bay leaves, clove, cardamom and 1/2 the oil. Bring to a boil for 1 minute, mix and cover with lid. Reduce heat to low, cook for 20 min. Remove lid, fluff and remove bay leaves. Reserve.

Cook on both sides until cooked through. Brush with reserved, fresh marinade, if desired. Toss the “rice” grapes with a pinch of salt and remaining oil and roast in oven for 5 minutes; gently fold into the rice and place in serving pan.
