RICE WITH PINE NUTS AND PISTACHIOS
This was a favorite of Thomas Jefferson. His cook was a slave from Africa and created many delicious meals. You could say that Jefferson's cook, Hemings, cooked his way to freedom. In 1793, Jefferson signed a document that emancipated Hemings if he promised to train a new chef for Monticello! Note: you can shortcut this recipe by using fast-cooking rice and adding the browned pistachios and pine nuts in at the end. Delicious either way!

Steps:
- Rinse the rice under cold water in a colander. Drain. In a saucepan, over high heat, bring the chicken stock, water, 1 T of the butter and 1/2 t of the salt to a boil. Stir in the rice and cover tightly, simmer over very low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the grains have absorbed all of the liquid.
- In another skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 T of butter. Stir in the pistachios and pine nuts and saute until they are a light golden color. It doesn't take long, make sure you don't burn them! Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Put the cooked rice in a serving bowl and fluff it with a fork. Scrape the nuts over the rice and toss gently. Sprinkle the rice with the mace, if desired.

This is a fantastic flavorful side that I found in one of my favorite cookbooks by Cheryl Alters Jamison and Bill Jamison, "American Home Cooking". They're all great!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. If baking stuffing outside of bird, grease a 2-quart casserole, large gratin dish or 9-by-13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil; salt it. Add rice and simmer, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender but not mushy, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain it, rinse it and drain it again.
- Heat 1/4 cup oil or butter in a large deep skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Toss in nuts and raisins or currants, if you are using them, and stir for a minute or 2. Add rice and stir, sprinkling with salt and pepper, while cooking for another minute; rice need not get hot. Add more oil or butter as needed to moisten mixture thoroughly. Add lemon juice and half the herbs. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. (You may prepare recipe in advance up to this point; refrigerate, well wrapped or in a covered container, for up to 2 days before proceeding.)
- Use stuffing to fill bird. Or put stuffing in prepared pan, cover tightly with foil and bake until rice is tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until mixture top is nicely browned, another 10 to 15 minutes or so.

RICE PILAF WITH PISTACHIOS AND ALMONDS
This dish is inspired by a number of Persian rice pilafs, but it's simpler, and calls for much less butter than an authentic Persian pilaf. There are sweet and tart flavors at play here, especially if you use barberries, but apricots also have a tart edge to them. Rose water makes the pilaf wonderfully fragrant.

Steps:
- Place rice in a bowl in the sink and rinse several times with water, or soak for 30 minutes to an hour. Drain.
- Heat water or stock to a bare simmer in a saucepan or in microwave.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil, butter or ghee in a wide, heavy skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add onion and salt to taste. Cook, stirring, until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes, and add rice. Cook, stirring, until the grains of rice are separate, dry and beginning to crackle. Add hot water or stock, rose water and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes, until all of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Uncover rice and place a clean towel over the top of the pan (it should not be touching the rice). Replace lid and allow to sit for 10 minutes, undisturbed.
- Meanwhile, heat remaining tablespoon of oil, butter or ghee over medium heat in a medium frying pan or saucepan and add the nuts. Cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, and add spices and barberries or dried apricots. Continue to cook for another minute, until the spices smell fragrant, and remove from the heat. Immediately scrape over the rice.
- Pile the pilaf onto a platter or into a wide bowl and toss to incorporate the nut and spice mixture. Serve.
