Cashew Rice Pilaf
A fragrant rice pilaf tossed with toasted cashews, herbs, and sometimes raisins. It’s nutty, buttery, and makes a great accompaniment to curries or grilled meat.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked long grain rice
- 1 cup chopped onion 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup golden raisins
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon onion salt
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 1 1/2 cups cooked wild rice 1 cup cashews
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
Directions:
- In a Dutch oven, saute the long grain rice, onion, carrots and raisins in butter until onion is tender. Add the broth and onion salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Stir in peas, wild rice and cashews; heat through. Sprinkle with green onions if desired.
