How to Make Almond And Raisin Pilaf

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the rice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is almost cooked through.
  5. Stir in the almonds and raisins. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
  6. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
