Christmas Rice

Serves: 4
Preparation time:  10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Level: Easy

Ingredients:
1 cup rice
1 1/2 tbsp grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium sweet pepper (green), chopped
1 medium sweet pepper (red), chopped
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 sprig celery, chopped finely
2 sprigs fine leaf thyme, chopped finely
1/3 cup raisins
2 tbsp butter
Salt to taste

Direction:
Boil rice drain and set aside.  Melt butter over a medium flame. Saute the ginger, garlic, and onion for one minute. Add celery, thyme and sweet peppers. Let cook for one minute.  (Note: Try not to overcook the sweet pepper because they would lose some of their vibrant colour.)  Add raisins and mix well. Allow to saute for about 30 seconds.  Add rice. Mix well and adjust salt to taste.   (If you like you can add a bit of black pepper now).  Remove from heat.  Serve hot.
