RECIPE: Raisin and Almond Rice Pilaf

INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon butter (or to taste)
1/3 cup almonds, sliced or slivered
1 cup onion, diced small
1 cup brown rice, long grain
1/3 cup raisins
2 cups water
2 teaspoons chicken broth/seasoning, dry
Kosher salt (to taste)
Pepper, ground (to taste)

INSTRUCTIONS:
1: Melt butter over low heat in a saucepan. Add almonds and cook until they are golden brown. Stir frequently.
2: Remove the almonds and place them on a paper towel to drain. Set them aside.
3: Add the onion to the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until the onion is soft. Stir frequently.
4: Add the rice and raisins. Sauté for 2 - 3 minutes, stirring almost constantly.
5: Stir in the water and chicken seasoning.
6: Bring to a boil. Cover the pan. Reduce the heat to low. Cook until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed (about 35 - 45 minutes). If the water is gone but the rice is not tender, add a bit more water. Cook until desired tenderness.
7: Add salt and pepper to taste.
8: Stir in almonds and serve.

NOTES:
If you use white rice, cook 20 - 25 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed.

I use vegan chicken broth/seasoning. You can also use 2 cups of liquid chicken broth in place of the seasoning and water.

Double this recipe if desired.
