Provided by Tara Parker-Pope

Time 45m

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 11

5-6 tablespoons butter
4-5 ounces dried vermicelli or egg noodles
2 cups long-grain white rice
1 quart fat-skimmed vegetable, chicken or turkey broth

Steps:

  • In a 5- to 6-quart pan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Break or crush the vermicelli into 1-inch lengths. Add the pasta and rice to the butter and stir often until golden, about 5-8 minutes, being careful not to burn the vermicelli.

RICE PILAF WITH ALMONDS AND RAISINS



Rice Pilaf With Almonds and Raisins image

Pilafs may be served at everyday meals but are grand enough for entertaining as well. If you like, you could add a generous pinch of saffron threads to the rice just before you cover it and let it simmer. You could also use chicken stock instead of the 22 cup water.

Categories     Raisin     Almond     Potluck

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups basmati rice
3 tablespoons olive or canola oil or ghee
One 2-inch cinnamon stick
1/2 medium onion, sliced into fine half Rings
2 tablespoons slivered blanched almonds
2 tablespoons golden raisins
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Put the rice in a bowl. Wash in several changes of water. Drain. Let the rice soak in water that covers it generously for 30 minutes.

When hot, put in the cinnamon. Let it sizzle for 10 seconds. Put in the onions. Stir and fry the onions until they start to brown. Add the almonds. Stir until they are golden. Add the raisins. Stir until they are plump, just a few seconds. Add the drained rice and salt. Stir very gently to mix. Add 2 2/3 cups water and bring to a boil. Cover tightly, turn heat to very, very low, and simmer gently for 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your rice with almonds and raisins will taste. Look for long-grain rice that is free of pests and debris, and use fresh almonds and raisins that are plump and moist.
  • Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast them in a pan over medium heat, in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or in a toaster oven.
  • Soak the raisins: Soaking the raisins in hot water for 10 minutes plumps them up and makes them juicier. This will also help to prevent them from burning when you cook them with the rice.
  • Cook the rice according to package directions: The best way to cook rice is to follow the directions on the package. This will ensure that the rice is cooked properly and is not over or undercooked.
  • Add the almonds, raisins, and butter to the rice after it is cooked: This will prevent the almonds and raisins from burning and will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the rice with almonds and raisins hot or cold: This dish can be served as a side dish or as a main course. It is also a great addition to packed lunches.
