Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup pine nuts
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/3 cup long-grain white rice
2/3 cup water
1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • In a 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan cook pine nuts in oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon transfer pine nuts to a bowl. Add rice to oil in pan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, 1 minute. Add water and bring to a boil. Cover rice and cook over very low heat until water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let rice stand, undisturbed, 5 minutes.
  • Finely chop basil. Fluff rice with a fork and stir in basil, pine nuts, and salt and pepper to taste.
