CURRIED RICE

     CURRIED-RICE - Baked rice with a mild curry flavor

     This is a slight modification of the "Riz a l'Indienne" from
     the 60-Minute Gourmet (Pierre Franey).  It's more French
     than Indian, and goes well with, say, sautéed chicken in
     cream.

INGREDIENTS (4 servings)
     2 1/2 Tbsp
               butter
     1 cup     chopped onion
     1/4 tsp   minced garlic
     1 cup     rice
     1 Tbsp    curry powder, vary amount to taste.
     1 1/2 cups
               chicken broth, (or chicken bouillon, or water)
     2 sprigs  parsley
     1         bay leaf

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Preheat oven to 400 deg. F.

          (2)  Obtain casserole or heavy ovenproof saucepan with
               a close-fitting lid.

          (3)  Over a burner on moderate heat, melt half the
               butter in the casserole and cook the onion and
               garlic, stirring constantly, until the onion is
               translucent.

          (4)  Add the rice and stir until well-coated with
               butter.

          (5)  Add the curry powder and stir until well-blended.

          (6)  Add the broth and stir to make sure there are no
               lumps.

          (7)  Add the parsley and bay leaf on top.

          (8)  Cover and bake in the oven for 17 minutes (Franey
               says exactly 17 minutes, but basically "cook until
               done.")

          (9)  Discard parsley and bay leaf, and stir in remain-
               ing butter.

NOTES
     This basic recipe may be varied by modifying quantities (for
     example, less onion) or adding ingredients (for example,
     pine nuts or apple chunks).

RATING
     Difficulty: easy Time: 15 minutes preparation, 25 minutes
     cooking.  Precision: Measure the rice and broth.
