Como fazer Aromatic Basmati Pilaf
- Heat olive oil and butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add cinnamon stick and cloves; stir until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add chopped onion and cardamom; sauté until onion is translucent and softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add rinsed basmati rice and stir well to coat the grains with the oil and spices, about 1 minute.
- Pour in water and chicken broth. Stir in salt and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to the lowest setting, cover the pan tightly, and simmer for 13-15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and cloves.
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving.
- Garnish with chopped pistachios (or other nuts like pine nuts or almonds).
- For a longer holding time: Transfer the pilaf to a 200°F (93°C) oven for up to 30 minutes, covered. It can also be reheated, covered, in a microwave.
