Red Riding Hood'S Raisin Rice(Serves 4)  
["1 c. long grain rice (uncooked)", "1 c. seedless raisins, well washed", "1 Tbsp. butter", "6 cloves (whole)", "2 small pieces cinnamon", "1 tsp. salt", "1 tsp. caraway seeds (optional)", "1/2 tsp. turmeric (optional)", "2 c. hot water"]
["Sort, wash and soak the rice for 1 hour. Heat the butter in a heavy, large skillet. Add the cloves and cinnamon and, if desired, the caraway and turmeric. Keep the heat very low and fry these only for a minute or two. Then add the washed and drained rice, salt and raisins. Mix and fry gently for a few minutes, stirring all the time. Next add the hot water. Mix thoroughly and bring to a boil quickly. Turn the heat very low and cook either on the stovetop or better still in the oven at 350\u00b0 for 30 minutes with the lid on."]
