NUTTY BROWN RICE PILAF



Nutty Brown Rice Pilaf image

The pine nuts add the nutty flavour while the raisins bring a sweetness to the rice. I found this recipe in Canadian Living and it has become a staple. I wasn't a fan of brown rice until now. Try different brands as they do make a difference in texture and flavour, and the time for cooking can vary. Be careful when adding the pinch of cinnamon that a pinch is all you add or the flavour can be overpowering. Great as left overs.

Categories     Other Salads

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cup(s) short grain brown rice
1/2 cup(s) sliced, toasted almonds
1/4 cup(s) pine nuts, toasted
1/4 cup(s) extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoon(s) lemon juice
2 cup(s) chopped parsley, flat leaf
1 cup(s) chopped cilantro
1/4 cup(s) sunflower seeds, toasted
1 cup(s) diced fresh tomatoes (or halved cherry tom.)
1/4 cup(s) rice vinegar, plain or seasoned
- salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In a saucepan, bring the rice and 1 quart of water to a boil. Cover and cook over low heat for 50 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Let stand for 5 minutes; fluff with a fork. 2. Preheat the oven to 350°. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and toast until golden, about 5 minutes. Watch them! The oil content causes them to burn quickly. You may be able to buy toasted sunflower seeds. 3. In a large bowl, whisk the oil with the lemon juice and rice vinegar. Add the rice, almonds, pine nuts, parsley, cilantro, sunflower seeds and tomatoes to the dressing. Toss well, season with salt and pepper and serve.
  • The original recipe called for hydrated dried apricots chopped. Too sweet for me! Citrus would be good though - lime, lemon or orange. Enjoy!
