Method
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium high heat. Saute onion, celery, garlic and mushrooms until nicely browned and tender, about 10 minutes. Add rice, apricots, broth, salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with toasted pecans.
Notes: This is a favorite at our house, the sweet and savory, nutty rice is so good, the main dish is almost forgotten. Leftovers are great with cubed chicken or ham tossed in to make it a one dish meal.
Number of Servings: 8-10
