Ingredients

  • 1 cup 7-grain pilaf rice blend, uncooked
  • 2 Navel oranges
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Scallion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Dried currants
  • 1 tbsp Fresh tarragon, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan prepare pilaf according to package directions. Remove saucepan from heat; let stand, covered, 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare orange segments. Using a small paring knife, cut away peel. Working over a large bowl to catch the juice, cut between membranes to remove orange segments. Squeeze membranes over bowl to release additional juice. (Juice should measure about 3 tablespoons.) Add oil, onion, currants and tarragon; toss lightly to combine.
  3. Add pilaf to orange mixture; toss gently to combine. Season with pepper to taste, and serve.
