Steps:
- 1. Melt butter on medium-low heat in a small ovenproof pot. Stir in onions, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until onions are translucent (but not browned or caramelized).
- 2. Add cumin, turmeric, cinnamon and rice, and stir well so that the rice is evenly coated with butter. Cook for 1 more minute.
- 3. Stir in stock and dried fruit. Bring to a boil on high heat. Once the stock comes to a boil, cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and let simmer 15 to 18 minutes or until rice is light and fluffy and has absorbed nearly all of the liquid.
- 4. Just before serving, stir in salt, pepper and almonds, and fluff with a fork. Serve immediately while still hot.
MOROCCAN CHICKEN PILAF
North African flavored rice cooked with chicken. From The Essential Rice Cookbook. You will need a casserole dish that can be used on the stove top as well as in the oven. A dutch oven works perfectly. A large, deep cast iron or cast aluminum skillet would also work provided it is entirely metal (no plastic handles) and you have a lid (again, no plastic). If you do not have stove-top safe casserole dish, you may use a frying pan for steps 3-6. In step 6, omit the chicken. In step 7, transfer to a large kettle. In step 8, transfer to a regular casserole dish, place the chicken on top of the rice, then proceed as directed.
