Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Melt butter and olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until onion is lightly browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Combine rice and onion mixture in a 9x13-inch casserole dish placed on a baking sheet. Stir thoroughly to coat the rice.
- Combine chicken stock, salt, saffron, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Pour chicken stock mixture over rice in the casserole dish and stir to combine. Spread mixture evenly along the bottom of the pan. Cover tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove foil and fluff with a fork to separate the grains of rice.

[email protected]This recipe is a fail. The rice was mushy and the flavors were bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of rice pilaf, but this recipe changed my mind. The rice was fluffy and flavorful, and the almonds and raisins added a nice touch of sweetness and crunch. I'll definitely be making this again.
