About the Recipe

Ingredients

Makes 6 Servings

1/4 c (60 mL) vegetable broth
1 c (190 g) dry brown basmati rice
1/3 c (36 g) slivered almonds
1/4 tsp (1.2 mL) cinnamon
1/8 tsp (0.6 mL) ground cardamom

1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) iodized salt
1/2 c (80 g) golden raisins

1 c (145 g) frozen green peas, thawed

Directions

1. Heat vegetable broth in a large pot.

   
   
   

2. Add rice and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until rice becomes opaque and somewhat chalky-looking, about 2 minutes.

   
   
   

3. Add almonds, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, turmeric, and salt. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

   
   
   

4. Stir in raisins and boiling water. Cover and simmer until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, about 60 minutes.

   
   
   

5. Stir in peas just before serving.
