• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon Italian parsley, freshly chopped
• 1 1/2 cups short grain rice
• 1/2 cup dark raisins
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups hot broth or water
• Pepper
  
  Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add garlic, parsley, and rice. Cook over high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until garlic begins to discolor. Add raisins and salt.
  
  Add hot broth or water, 1/4 cup at a time, & continue to cook uncovered over high heat until rice is done -- about 15 minutes in all. Taste for salt & pepper & add if necessary. Serve hot or at room temperature.
