Expert Tips

This flavorful cinnamon rice is the perfect complement to a grilled pork chop and plantains.

Directions

  • 1 Melt 1 tablespoon Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread in 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add slivered almonds; cook until almonds are browned and caramelized (2 to 3 minutes). Remove from pan, set aside.
  • 2 Melt additional 1 tablespoon Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread in same pan over medium heat; add onion and garlic. Cook until softened. Add rice; continue cooking, stir constantly, until lightly browned (2 to 3 minutes). Add chicken broth and raisins; cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a boil.
