Christmas Rice

Nothing like a festive looking Christmas rice on the dinner table for Christmas.
Rice being Trinidadians main staple, we really know how to jazz it up.

When I am making my Christmas rice, I add raisins, olives, pimentos, corn, green peas and carrots. These ingredients definitely give the rice a kaleidoscope of color to infuse that festive look and taste to the rice.

When preparing
be sure to shred the carrots, as this is what gives the rice that yellow/golden color.

Method
Boil rice and set aside until cool
Saute garlic and pimento and then add the remaining ingredients and sauté for 10 minutes before adding the rice.
Add oregano, salt and black pepper to taste and cook until rice is hot.

Absolutely delicious!
