RICE PILAF WITH FRESH DILL, WALNUTS AND RAISINS



Rice Pilaf With Fresh Dill, Walnuts and Raisins image

Reminiscent of flavors of the Middle East and surrounding area, in this recipe I substituted basmati rice; or use long grain white rice if basmati is not available. From Bon Appetit September 1997 with a few small changes.
