Orange Rice Medley Recipe
This is a lovely, slightly sweet side dish. It looks so pretty with the harvest colors of chopped green and red peppers and orange slices tucked in with the rice.
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Onion, Diced
- 1/2 Cup Green Bell Pepper, Diced
- 1/2 Cup Red Bell Pepper, Diced
- 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 Cup Uncooked Long Grain Rice
- 1 1/2 Cups Reduced Sodium Chicken Broth
- 1/2 Cup Orange Juice
- 1/4 Tsp. Salt
- 1 Dash Black Pepper
- 11 Oz. Can Mandarin Oranges, Drained and Coarsely Chopped
Directions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, saute onion and peppers in oil until tender. Add rice; stir until lightly browned.
- Add broth, orange juice, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Stir in oranges.
- Note: This is great served with Southwestern Pork Chops.
- Tip: Try substituting chopped pineapple chunks and replace the orange juice with pineapple juice. It's great this way too!
