- Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked 7-grain pilaf blend (1 sleeve)
- 2 navel oranges
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 large green onion, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
- 1/4 cup dried currants

Instructions
- In a small saucepan prepare pilaf according to package directions. Remove saucepan from heat; let stand, covered, 5 minutes.
