Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups basmati rice
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds toasted
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper to the pot and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
  • Add the basmati rice to the pot and stir to coat the rice in the spices and butter mixture.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the raisins and toasted slivered almonds.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
  • Enjoy your delicious Middle Eastern Pilaf!
