Categories     Rice

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup roasted pistachios
1/3 cup dried apricot, roughly chopped
1/4 cup roasted almonds, roughly chopped (I used slivered almonds and skipped the chopping)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup jasmine rice (can substitute basmati or any other non-sticky rice)
1/2 teaspoon salt (reduced from 1 teaspoon)
1 -2 star anise
2 1/8 cups boiling water
2 red onions

Steps:

  • Reserve a tablespoon each of pistachios, apricots and almonds for garnish.
  • Melt a tablespoon of butter in a medium saucepan on low heat. Toss the rice in the butter, then add the remaining pistachios, apricots and almonds, plus the salt and star anise.
  • Add boiling water and simmer. Cover and check after 15 minutes, but do not stir.
  • Slice onions thinly and place on a baking tray in a flat layer. Drizzle with 4 tablespoons of butter and place in a 350-degree oven. Bake, tossing occasionally, until crispy.
  • Place rice mixture in a serving dish and garnish with the reserved pistachios, almonds and apricots, plus the crispy onions.
  • Heat remaining butter almost to bubbling, then pour over the rice so that it glistens.

This recipe was easy to follow and the rice turned out great. I added a little extra saffron to the water, and it gave the rice a beautiful golden color. The jeweled mix was a nice touch, and added a bit of sweetness and crunch to the rice.
