Hear me out. Christmas rice with raisins. They absorb moisture from the dish and become these sweet little treats in the midst of a very buttery and savory rice. I hate raisins but I fucking love that rice.
I dunno what Christmas rice is, but raisins are so much better in savory applications than sweet.
What the hell is Christmas rice?
Inquiring minds wants to know
Posted an explanation in this comment chain!
Maybe it's a cultural or family thing? So it's just pre-cooked rice, you cook it as you would any rice I guess, but you add chicken stock, raisins, and butter (at the end, after you're done cooking it). Variations often also include peas and corn, maybe diced carrots, but we stick to just raisins. The savory mix of the buttery rice with tiny packets of moist raisins sprinkled about the rice makes it delicious!
Interesting. That reminds that there is indeed another dish that is ok with raisins: Christmas loaf (Stollen).
Needs dried cherries too.
