Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1/2 cup pitted dates
  • 1 cup uncooked brown rice
  • 4 cups unsweetened vanilla almondmilk
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup toasted, chopped slivered almonds

Instruction

  • Place dates in a bowl and pour 1/2 cup boiling water over them.
  • Let soak 15 minutes, then transfer dates and water to a blender and purée until smooth to make a date syrup.
  • Meanwhile, bring rice and almondmilk to a boil in a medium saucepan.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the almondmilk, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes.
  • Stir date syrup, raisins, vanilla extract, almond extract, cinnamon and almonds into rice and serve warm.
