Ingredients for Armenian Wedding Pilaf
How to Make Armenian Wedding Pilaf
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- While the rice simmers, prepare the fruit and nut topping. In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the dried fruit and nuts to the melted butter. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes, or until the fruit is softened and the nuts are fragrant. Be careful not to burn the butter.
- Fluff the cooked rice with a fork. Gently stir in the fruit and nut mixture.
- Serve warm. Garnish with extra nuts or dried fruit, if desired.
