Step 1
Rinse the basmati rice with tap water 3 to 4 times then soak for a couple of hours. If soaking for longer, refrigerate the soaked rice.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a bowl, combine the Brussels with leeks, olive oil, black pepper and sea salt. Spread on a baking pan and roast in the oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until they have some color at the edges yet remain bright green.
Step 3
In the meanwhile, in a stockpot combine the drained rice with 2 cups of water, salt and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil then cover and simmer.
Step 4
As soon as all the water has been absorbed ~ roughly 7 to 8 minutes, turn the heat off. Let the rice rest for about 5 minutes then add the roasted Brussels and currants, then cover the dish for another 10 minutes.
Step 5
Stir gently before serving.
