Pilaf W/curry, Raisins, & Almonds Recipe
Yield: 4 servingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
2 tbsp: Butter, unsalted
1 tsp: Turmeric, ground
1/2 cup: Onion, chopped
1/2 cup: Raisins, golden/dark
1 tsp: Curry powder, to 2 teaspoons 1 1/4 c Broth, chicken, unsalted
1 cup: Rice, imported basmati
-preferably homemade,
-Or Am. Basmati-type white,
2 tbsp: Almonds, slivered
Directions:
"The sweetness of the raisins help to balance the heat and spice of
the curry in this pilaf. I like the monochromatic yellows in the
dish--- yellow rice, golden raisins, and toased almonds---but if you
choose dark raisins, the effect will be dramatic; black raisins
against a background of vibrantly colored rice."
Melt the butter in a large wide saucepan over medium heat. When the
foam subsides, add the onion and saute over low heat, stirring, until
golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the curry, turmeric, rice, and
raisins, and saute 2 minutes more.
Add the chicken broth and heat to boiling, stirring once. Cook,
covered over medium-low heat until the broth is absorbed and the rice
is tender, about 15 minutes. Let stand, uncovered, off the heat for
5 minutes before serving.
Meanwhile, toast the almonds in a 350 degree oven about 7 minutes.
Sprinkle over the pilaf just before serving.
