CASHEW RICE PILAF

This is a very simple recipe, but it's made savory by using chicken broth and adding the cashews. It doesn't take long to make, and I've found that fresh parsley really enhances the flavor of the dish rather than dried parsley.

1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup long-grain rice, uncooked
1/2 teaspoon salt

  • Add the cashews at the end of the cooking process. This will prevent them from becoming overcooked and tough.
