Pistachio and Toasted Almond Pilaf

Grains - Rice - -

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 1/2 cups long grain rice
5 cups vegetable stock (recommend using a vegan chicken-flavoured stock like the one imagine foods makes)
70 grams / 2 1/2 flaked almonds, toasted
70 grams / 2 1/2 pistachio nuts
2 spring onions, diced
Salt and ground white pepper

METHOD

Heat oil in a heavy-based pan over a medium heat. Add chopped garlic and cook 1 minute. Add rice and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Stir in stock and bring to the boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed. Turn off heat and let stand for 30 minutes.

Stir in toasted almonds, pistachios, and spring onions. Season to taste.

NOTES

Serves 4-6.
