Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup almonds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped sweet onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chopped rhubarb
½ cup white wine
½ cup golden raisins
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 cup cooked wild rice
1 cup cooked long-grain white rice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spread almonds onto a baking sheet.
  • Toast almonds in preheated oven until golden and fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion in hot oil until just translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix rhubarb into onion and garlic and saute until slightly softened, about 2 minutes more.
  • Stir wine wine, raisins, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper into rhubarb mixture; cover the skillet with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until rhubarb is tender to the bite but still firm, 5 to 8 minutes. Add honey and soy sauce; stir.
  • Mix wild rice and white rice into the rhubarb mixture; cook and stir until rice is heated through. Top with toasted almonds.

The pilaf was good, but I think it would have been better with a different type of rice. I used brown rice, and I think it was a bit too chewy.

This pilaf was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more liquid next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more herbs or spices.

This pilaf was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not a big fan of rhubarb. Otherwise, it was a well-made dish.
