Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon White pepper
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable oil
  • 1 cup Chopped onions
  • 1 cup Chopped green bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup Pecan halves, dry roasted
  • 1/2 cup Raisins
  • 4 tablespoon Unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cup Uncooked rice (converted or long-grain)
  • 3 cup Pork, beef, or chicken stock
  • 2 cup Chopped unpeeled apples
Directions
  1. 1
    In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, dry mustard, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, and white pepper to create the seasoning mix. Set aside.
  2. 2
    In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot, about 2 minutes.
  3. 3
    Add chopped onions and green bell peppers; saut for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to soften.
  4. 4
    Add dry-roasted pecan halves and continue cooking for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to toast lightly without burning.
  5. 5
    Add raisins and butter to the pan. Stir until the butter melts and coats the raisins. Cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until raisins plump up.
  6. 6
    Add uncooked rice and the prepared seasoning mix to the pan. Cook, stirring almost constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes until the rice grains look slightly translucent and "frizzly" (similar to crispy rice cereal).
  7. 7
    Stir in the stock, scraping the bottom of the pan well to release any browned bits. Add chopped apples and stir to combine evenly.
  8. 8
    Cover the pan and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  9. 9
    Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 5 minutes.
  10. 10
    Remove from heat. Let the pan sit covered for 30 minutes to allow the rice to become tender and fully absorb the liquid.
  11. 11
    Fluff with a fork and serve immediately.
