Sweet Rice with Apples, Raisins, and Sour Cream

This dish I learned many years ago from Savta Rivka. It is a tasty and filling dish, perfect for a dairy meal.

It’s a great solution if you have left-over cooked white rice. The amounts don’t matter – use as much rice as you want, and as many apples and raisins as you like.

This is a wonderful comfort food!

Ingredients:

• cooked white rice
• peeled apples cut into cubes
• raisins, dark or light
• sugar, to taste
• 1-2 eggs (depending on the amount of rice, apples, etc.).
• sour cream
• a touch of cinnamon
• butter for frying

Preparation:

1. Peel and cube as many apples as you like, depending on the amount of cooked rice you are using.
2. In non-stick frying pan, put some butter, and add the peeled and cubed apples, the raisins, and some sugar. Heat for a few minutes.
3. Add the cooked rice, and mix with the apples, raisins and sugar in the pan.
4. Cook on a very low flame for about 15 minutes, adding some butter if needed. Pan should be covered.
5. Mix in 1-2 eggs, mixing until well incorporated. Continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, on a small flame. The applesshould be soft by now.
6. Add a few spoonfuls of sour cream and mix. Cook for another few minutes.
7. Serve together with some extra sour cream if desired.
