Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large shallots, minced
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
8 tablespoons chopped unsalted pistachios
1 14-ounce can (or more) low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 tablespoons 1x1/8-inch strips lemon peel

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté 3 minutes. Add rice and 2 tablespoons pistachios; stir 2 minutes. Stir in 1 can broth, lemon juice, and salt; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Mix in 4 tablespoons pistachios and 2 tablespoons lemon peel. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Spread rice out onto baking sheet; cool. Before continuing, drizzle with more broth and rewarm tightly covered with foil in 400°F oven until heated through, about 10 minutes.) Transfer rice to bowl. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons pistachios and 1/2 tablespoon lemon peel.

This pilaf is a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

This pilaf is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would use less lemon next time. Other than that, it's a great recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of pistachios, but I really enjoyed this pilaf. The lemon flavor is very strong, and it really masks the flavor of the pistachios. I would definitely make this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rice. I had some leftover jasmine rice, and this pilaf was the perfect way to use it up. The lemon and pistachio flavors really brightened up the rice and made it a delicious and flavorful dish.
