Ingredients for Another Pilaf

  • 1 cup long-grain rice

How to Make Another Pilaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large, shallow baking dish, combine 1 cup long-grain rice, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 2 cups chicken or vegetable consommé, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Mix well to ensure all the rice is coated. Cover the dish tightly with foil.
  4. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
  5. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
  6. Fluff the rice gently with a fork. Stir in 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1/4 cup raisins, and 1/4 cup dried cranberries.
  7. Mix well to combine all ingredients. Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite protein, or enjoy it with fresh fruit and crusty bread.
