Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small red onion, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 cup basmati or jasmine rice
1 1/2 cups homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
1/2 cup chopped unsalted pistachios or almonds
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds (about 1/2 pomegranate)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion, and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add rice; cook, stirring 1 minute to coat. Add chicken stock; bring to a boil. Cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice has absorbed all liquid, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, and fluff with a fork. Stir in apricots, nuts, pomegranate seeds, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

This pilaf was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time. The pomegranate seeds were a nice touch though.

This pilaf was a bit too dry for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't add enough liquid. Otherwise, the flavors were great and the pomegranate seeds were a nice addition.
