Armenian Wedding Pilaf Recipe
This is my favorite type of pilaf similar to what my mother makes. You can customize it to your own taste.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Uncle Ben's converted brand rice
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3 cups water or 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups total of your favorite dried fruits (I use pine nuts, apricots, slivered almonds, currants and golden raisins) or 2 cups nuts, chopped into small pieces customize this part as you wish (I use pine nuts, apricots, slivered almonds, currants and golden raisins)
Instructions
- Put rice and broth into a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer. Cover until the liquid is gone (about 20 min).
- In a saute pan, melt the butter and add the dried fruit and nuts. Be careful not to burn the butter.
- When the rice is done, put it in a large bowl and top it with the fruit and nut mixture.
- Optionally, you may want to toast the nuts in a dry pan to help bring out more of their flavor.
