ASPARAGUS CASHEW RICE PILAF
This is an adaptation of an old Armenian recipe, and this variation is so delicious I can't stop eating it. It's a great way to stretch expensive seasonal asparagus and pricey cashews. It's great as a side dish or as a vegetarian entree.

CASHEW RICE PILAF
This is a very simple recipe, but it's made savory by using chicken broth and adding the cashews. It doesn't take long to make, and I've found that fresh parsley really enhances the flavor of the dish rather than dried parsley.

BROCCOLI CASHEW RICE PILAF
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!

Tips:
- To make the perfect cashew rice pilaf, use a good quality basmati rice. It cooks evenly and has a lovely, nutty flavor.
- Be sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any starch and help the rice cook evenly.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or pan to cook the rice. This will help prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Add the cashews to the rice during the last few minutes of cooking. This will help them to stay crunchy.
- Serve the cashew rice pilaf immediately, or allow it to cool and then reheat it gently.
Conclusion:
Cashew rice pilaf is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's perfect for any occasion, from a casual weeknight meal to a special holiday dinner. With its nutty flavor and crunchy cashews, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
