Cranberry and Almond Rice Pilaf image

I've been making this dish for years - it's different from typical rice pilaf dishes in that the cranberries add the sweetness and the tartness that you don't expect in a savory dish. Oh, and it's super hard to fumble.

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
¾ cup chopped onions

ground black pepper to taste

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
