Instructions: * Currants should be plumped in hot water to cover and drain

To make chicken or duck stuffing, place the warm rice in a mixing bowl.

Stir in currants, almonds, onion, butter, basil, parsley, egg (if using), and salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly. Use to stuff a chicken or duck for roasting or spoon into a baking dish, cover tightly with foil, and place in a 350 degree F oven until heated through, about 30 minutes.

Alternatively, heat in a microwave oven for about 5 minutes.

This is enough to stuff a 5 to 7 lb. bird or serve 6 as a side dish
