Ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions
- Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and toast them until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn them!
- Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and stir to coat the rice in the oil and pine nuts.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, cumin, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
- Stir in the raisins and fluff the rice with a fork.
- Serve the Pine Nut Pilaf garnished with fresh parsley.
