ALMOND RICE PILAF



Almond Rice Pilaf image

This tasty rice pilaf dish features slivered almonds. Cooking rice via the pilaf method brings out nutty, toasty flavors, and it's less sticky, too.

Provided by Danilo Alfaro

Categories     Side Dish

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoon butter
1 cup long-grain white rice
2 tablespoon finely diced onion
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1 1/2 cups chicken stock or broth
1 bay leaf
Kosher salt, to taste
2 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F.​
  • Heat a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, then add butter. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring stock or broth to a boil.​
  • When butter gets foamy, add diced onion and almonds and sauté until onion is slightly translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes.​
  • Add uncooked rice and sauté, stirring constantly, for about a minute, or until rice is fully coated with the melted butter.​
  • Add hot stock or broth, bring back to a boil, then add bay leaf. Cover and place entire pot in the oven. Tip: Check seasoning of cooking liquid and make any necessary adjustments before pot goes into oven.​
  • Cook rice in oven for 18 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. If after 18 minutes, there's still liquid in the pot or rice is still too moist, re-cover and return pot to oven for another 2 to 4 minutes.​
  • Remove pot from oven and gently fluff rice with a wooden fork. Remove bay leaf and discard. Then place a paper towel across top of pot, replace lid, and let rice stand for 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve right away.
