RICE WITH PINE NUTS AND PISTACHIOS



Rice With Pine Nuts and Pistachios image

This was a favorite of Thomas Jefferson. His cook was a slave from Africa and created many delicious meals. You could say that Jefferson's cook, Hemings, cooked his way to freedom. In 1793, Jefferson signed a document that emancipated Hemings if he promised to train a new chef for Monticello! Note: you can shortcut this recipe by using fast-cooking rice and adding the browned pistachios and pine nuts in at the end. Delicious either way!

PERSIAN RICE WITH PISTACHIOS AND DILL



Persian Rice with Pistachios and Dill image

Categories     Herb     Nut     Rice     Side     Vegetarian     Ramadan     Pistachio     Dill     Simmer     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 8 to 10 (side dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups basmati rice (1 1/4 pound)
4 quart water
3 tablespoons salt (for water)
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2/3 cup chopped fresh dill
1 cup coarsely chopped shelled natural pistachios (5 ounces)

Steps:

  • Rinse rice in several changes of cold water in a large bowl until water runs clear. Drain in a large sieve.
  • Bring water and salt to a boil in a 6-quart heavy pot and parboil rice, uncovered, 5 minutes. Drain in large sieve.
  • Melt butter in bottom of cleaned pot and spoon rice over it, alternating with sprinklings of dill and pistachios and mounding loosely, ending with rice. Make 5 or 6 holes in rice to bottom of pot with round handle of a wooden spoon, then cover pot with a kitchen towel and a heavy lid. Fold edges of towel up over lid (to keep towel from burning) and cook rice, undisturbed, over moderately low heat until tender and a crust forms on bottom, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Spoon loose rice onto a platter and dip bottom of pan in a large bowl of cold water 30 seconds to loosen tah-dig (the rice crust on the bottom). Remove tah-dig with a large spoon and serve in a separate bowl or over loose rice.

Tips:

  • To make sure your rice is perfectly cooked, use a 1:2 ratio of rice to water. This means that for every 1 cup of rice, you will need 2 cups of water.
  • Before cooking the rice, rinse it in cold water to remove any starch. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming sticky.
  • If you want to add a nutty flavor to your rice, toast the pine nuts and pistachios in a pan before adding them to the rice.
  • To make the rice more flavorful, add some herbs or spices to the cooking water. Some good options include bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, or cumin.
  • If you are using frozen peas, be sure to thaw them before adding them to the rice. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

This rice dish is a delicious and easy way to enjoy a healthy and flavorful meal. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The combination of pine nuts, pistachios, and peas adds a nutty and flavorful crunch to the rice, while the herbs and spices give it a warm and inviting flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
