Macadamia and Pineapple Rice Pilaf image

Rice is one of the staple foods in Hawaii. This recipe makes ordinary rice exciting and flavorful. From A Taste of Hawaii cookbook. In a pinch, you could probably use any type of nut. I love that this rice cooks in the oven.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup yellow bell pepper, diced
3 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup raisins (either dark or golden)
1/2 cup roasted macadamia nuts, preferably unsalted, chopped
1 -2 sage leaf, chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup cilantro, chopped (or more, if you love cilantro!)
1 cup pineapple, diced

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In an oven-proof and flame-proof casserole, set over medium heat, melt the butter and add the rice. Stir for a few seconds, until the butter coats the rice. Add the garlic and stir for a few seconds (not long enough for the rice to change color).
  • Add the red and yellow peppers and cook for a few seconds. Add the stock and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Add the raisins, nuts, sage and salt. Cover and place in the oven. Bake for about 18 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for about 10 minutes. Add the chopped cilantro and pineapple. Season if necessary and serve.
  • Note: If you use salted macadamia nuts, you won't have to add the salt in the recipe.

I'm allergic to macadamia nuts, so I used chopped walnuts instead. It was still delicious.
