I found this great-sounding recipe on a Russian cooking website and thought it would be a good accompaniment to Baked Chicken, Russian Style. Try it for yourself! Recipe: Ruscuisine.com Photo: www.mydeliciousrecipe.com

Categories     Rice Sides

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 c blanched almonds
2 Tbsp butter
1 c unconverted white long-grain rice
2 c chicken stock, fresh or canned
1/2 tsp white sesame seeds
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Spread almonds on a cookie sheet in a single layer and toast in a 350-degree oven for about 5 minutes, watching closely so they don't burn. Set aside.
  • 2. Melt the butter in a heavy 1-1/2 to 2-quart casserole over moderate heat. Add the rice and stir with a wooden spoon until the rice turns somewhat white and opaque. Stir in the sesame seeds, then pour in the chicken stock, ginger, salt and a few grindings of black pepper.
  • 3. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil, then cover the casserole tightly and bake in the center of the oven at 350-degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the liquid has all been absorbed and the rice is tender.
  • 4. Sprinkle the reserved almonds over the rice and serve at once. Try this dish alongside Baked Chicken, Russian Style.
