Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup olive oil
2 1/2 cups chopped onions
1 cup long-grain white rice
1 1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and sauté 10 minutes. Mix in rice, then broth, raisins, lemon juice, and allspice. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until rice is tender and broth is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Mix in pine nuts, mint, and dill. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • For the most flavorful rice pilaf, use basmati rice. It has a long grain and a nutty flavor that pairs well with the cumin and other spices.
  • Be sure to toast the rice before adding the liquid. This will help to bring out its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your pilaf. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Cumin is a classic, but you can also try coriander, cardamom, or turmeric.
  • Let the pilaf rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the rice to absorb all of the liquid.

Conclusion:

Cumin herb rice pilaf is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal, give cumin herb rice pilaf a try.
