Broccoli Cashew Rice Pilaf image

I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and adapted it to include my favourite veggie, broccoli! You can also make this with asparagus. Butter lends a fantastic flavour to the recipe, so preferably, don't substitute it with any else. Although I've tried this only with water, using vegetable broth would add even more zing!

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup butter (Don't substitute)
2 ounces uncooked spaghetti, broken
1/4 cup onion, minced
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/4 cups long-grain rice or 1 1/4 cups jasmine rice
2 1/4 cups vegetable broth or 2 1/4 cups water (I use water)
salt and pepper
1/2 lb broccoli floret
1/2 cup cashews, halves, roasted

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
  • Increase heat to medium, and stir in spaghetti, cooking until coated with the melted butter and lightly browned.
  • Stir onion and garlic into the saucepan, and cook about 2 minutes, until tender.
  • Stir in rice, and cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in vegetable broth and season mixture with salt and pepper.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, and cook 20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed.
  • While the rice is cooking, place broccoli in a separate medium saucepan with enough water to cover.
  • Bring to a boil, and cook until tender but firm; drain excess water.
  • Mix broccoli and cashew halves into the rice mixture, and serve warm.

I added some chopped carrots and celery to the dish, and it was even more delicious. I highly recommend adding some extra vegetables to this dish.

I'm not a big fan of cashews, so I substituted them with chopped peanuts. It was still delicious!

This dish is a great make-ahead meal. I often make it on the weekend and then reheat it for lunch or dinner during the week. It's also a great dish to take to potlucks or picnics.

I'm a vegetarian, and I love this dish. It's a great way to get my daily dose of protein and vegetables. I usually add some tofu or tempeh to the dish, and it's always delicious.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less soy sauce next time. Otherwise, it was a great recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as expected. The rice was a bit mushy, and the broccoli was overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices, and it was much better. I will definitely be making this again, but I'll add more spices next time.
