Steps:
- Melt butter in a medium high-sided saucepan set over medium heat. Add onion, cloves, and cinnamon; cook until onion becomes translucent and mixture is very fragrant.
- Place rice in sieve, and rinse under cold running water. Add rice to saucepan, and stir so grains are coated in butter mixture.
- Add bay leaf, cinnamon stick, raisins, salt, and pepper to saucepan. Stir in 2 cups water. Raise heat, and bring to a boil. Cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until all water has been absorbed and rice has cooked, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat, and let stand, covered, 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds brings out their nutty flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat or in a toaster oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, until they are golden brown and fragrant.
- Use good quality rice: The type of rice you use will make a big difference in the final dish. For this recipe, I recommend using a long grain rice such as basmati or jasmine rice. These rices have a light and fluffy texture that is perfect for pilaf.
- Cook the rice according to package directions: Each type of rice has its own cooking instructions, so be sure to follow the directions on the package. Generally speaking, you will need to cook the rice in boiling water for 15-20 minutes, or until it is tender and fluffy.
- Add the almonds and cinnamon to the rice: Once the rice is cooked, stir in the toasted almonds and ground cinnamon. This will give the rice a delicious nutty and aromatic flavor.
- Serve the rice immediately: Almond cinnamon rice is best served immediately, while it is still hot and fluffy. You can garnish it with additional toasted almonds, chopped fresh herbs, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Conclusion:
Almond cinnamon rice is an easy and delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. The toasted almonds and ground cinnamon give the rice a nutty and aromatic flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table.
