RICE PILAF WITH PISTACHIOS AND ALMONDS
This dish is inspired by a number of Persian rice pilafs, but it's simpler, and calls for much less butter than an authentic Persian pilaf. There are sweet and tart flavors at play here, especially if you use barberries, but apricots also have a tart edge to them. Rose water makes the pilaf wonderfully fragrant.

Steps:
- Place rice in a bowl in the sink and rinse several times with water, or soak for 30 minutes to an hour. Drain.
- Heat water or stock to a bare simmer in a saucepan or in microwave.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil, butter or ghee in a wide, heavy skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add onion and salt to taste. Cook, stirring, until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes, and add rice. Cook, stirring, until the grains of rice are separate, dry and beginning to crackle. Add hot water or stock, rose water and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes, until all of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Uncover rice and place a clean towel over the top of the pan (it should not be touching the rice). Replace lid and allow to sit for 10 minutes, undisturbed.
- Meanwhile, heat remaining tablespoon of oil, butter or ghee over medium heat in a medium frying pan or saucepan and add the nuts. Cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, and add spices and barberries or dried apricots. Continue to cook for another minute, until the spices smell fragrant, and remove from the heat. Immediately scrape over the rice.
- Pile the pilaf onto a platter or into a wide bowl and toss to incorporate the nut and spice mixture. Serve.

RICE SALAD WITH CURRANTS, ALMONDS AND PISTACHIOS
Summer buffets often feature potato salad and pasta salad, but rice salad, quite popular throughout the Mediterranean, is another terrific option to keep in mind. This simple one uses pantry ingredients and is delicious on its own with a bit of salad or with grilled chicken or fish. To keep the rice grains separate, boil the rice in a large pot of water as for pasta.

Steps:
- Bring 8 cups water to a boil in a large pot. Add the rice and 2 tablespoons salt. Boil rice as you would pasta, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until done, but still al dente. Drain and spread out on a rimmed baking sheet to cool.
- Once cool, transfer rice to a large salad bowl. In a small bowl, stir together olive oil, tahini, lemon juice and lemon zest. Add salt and pepper to taste. Gently fold mixture into rice.
- Add currants, almonds, pistachios, chives, mint, savory and parsley. Toss to distribute. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lemon juice or salt as necessary. Serve at room temperature.

BRAISED CHICKEN AND RICE WITH ORANGE, SAFFRON, ALMOND, AND PISTACHIO SYRUP
Here is a jewel of an Afghani dish. It is one I cook regularly, sometimes with shoulder of lamb instead of chicken thighs. I serve it with slow-cooked spinach, finished with leeks and a minuscule amount of rhubarb. This may sound strange, but the rhubarb is sweetened by the leeks and it really does work.

Steps:
- Rinse the rice in a sieve under cold running water until the water runs clear; put to one side.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot and throw in the onions. Cook over medium heat until they soften and turn golden. Season the chicken thighs and add them to the pan. Brown on all sides, then pour in 2 1/2 cups water and bring to a simmer. Cover with a lid and cook until the chicken is tender, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel the zest from the orange with a potato peeler, then cut it into matchstick strips. Blanch in a small pan of boiling water for a couple of minutes, then drain.
- Dissolve the sugar in 1/2 cup (scant) water in a small, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat, then bring to a boil and let bubble to reduce and thicken for 5 to 10 minutes until syrupy. Add the orange zest, slivered almonds, and pistachios and boil for 5 minutes, skimming off any froth. Strain the syrup and return to the pan; set aside the orange zest and nuts. Add the saffron and rose water to the syrup and boil again for 3 minutes, then add the cardamom seeds.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Strain the stock from the chicken thighs and add the syrup to it. Make this up to 3 cups with more water. Bring it to a boil in an ovenproof casserole and add the rice. Season and add two-thirds of the orange zest and nuts, keeping the rest to one side. Bring back to a boil, then cover and simmer until the rice is cooked. The liquid should have all been absorbed by now.
- Bury the chicken and onions in the rice and add the fava beans and peas, if you are including them. Put the lid on and cook in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Serve straight from the pan or, if you prefer, in a large, warmed serving dish. Sprinkle the last third of the orange zest and nuts over the top before bringing it to the table.

- Rice Pilaf: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice and garlic and let toast for 2 minutes. When the rice is toasted and the garlic is fragrant, add 2 cups of chicken broth and let it come to a boil, lower the heat to low, cover and let the rice cook for 15-20 minutes or until the water dries up. While the rice is cooking, start on the chicken. Let stand for 5 minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork.
- Cook the chicken: Season the chicken with a generous sprinkle of salt, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and let cook all the way through, about 4-12 minutes depending on thickness. While the chicken is cooking, zap the green beans in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. When the chicken is cooked, remove to a plate.
- Make the sauce: Add the mushrooms to the remaining butter and sauté them for 1-2 minutes or until they soften. Sprinkle the flour and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, stir to coat and let cook for 1 minute. Pour in 1 1/4 cup of chicken broth and the sour cream, use a whisk to help break up any of the flavor bits that may be stuck to the pan. Let the sauce come to a simmer and thicken. It should thicken enough to coat the back of a spoon in about 1-3 minutes, if you prefer your sauce slightly thinner, adjust with the remaining 1/4 cup of broth. Once the broth has reached your desired consistency, taste and adjust seasonings to preference. Add the chicken and beans into the skillet and drizzle with sauce. Sprinkle with the toasted almonds and serve immediately with the rice pilaf.
