APPLE RICE

Steps:

• Start cooking the rice according to box directions, but leave out the seasonings.
• In a large pan over medium heat, cook the sausage until it's about halfway done.
• Add the apples, onions, garlic, carrot, and nuts.
• If the sausage has not released enough grease to coat all the ingredients, add butter.
• When the sausage is done and the apples and onions are beginning to caramelize, add the brown sugar and sprinkle with cinnamon, reducing heat to low.
• When the rice is done, add the rice to the pan with the sausage mixture and add enough butter to coat the rice, and additional brown sugar and cinnamon to taste.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the rice is coated with the butter and sugar and the ingredients are mixed well.
• It should be a fairly sticky consistency.

Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then add the chicken stock, apple juice, butter, vinegar and some salt and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
