I used to make this quite often when I lived in Australia. Not sure where the recipe came from? If memory serves me correctly, it was a recipe card from Woolworth’s Grocery store. Very yummy rice dish!

2 teaspoons Olive Oil

1 Onion, chopped

1 Zuchinni, chopped

1 Carrot, chopped

1 Red Pepper, chopped

1 Tablespoon Curry Powder

1 teaspoon Cumin

1/4 cup Chopped Dried Apricots

1/4 cup Raisins

1 can (540ml) Chick Peas, drained and well rinsed

1 1/2 cups Long Grain Rice, uncooked

3 cups Vegetable Broth

Heat oil in large saucepan.

Add onion and saute for 3 mins, stirring often.

Add zuchinni, carrot, red pepper, curry powder and cumin; stir.

Add uncooked rice, stir to coat.

Add vegetable broth, chick peas, dried apricots and raisins, stir, bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 25 – 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

I served these with Falafel, Sauteed Spinach, Tomato Chutney and Tomato Raita.
