Ingredients

serves 4

　　1 1/2 cups water

　　1 cup long-grain white rice

　　Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

　　1 cup golden raisins

　　1 tablespoon olive oil

　　3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

　　1 small head radicchio, thinly sliced crosswise

　　2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced diagonally

　　

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add rice; season with salt and pepper. Return to a boil; reduce heat to low. Cover; simmer until rice is tender and has absorbed all liquid, 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 5 minutes.

　　

Step 2

Fluff with a fork, then add raisins and oil; toss to combine. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour. Just before serving, stir in lemon juice, radicchio, and scallions; season with salt and pepper.
