Quick Almond Rice Pilaf

By Addie

MY NOTES: Use 1 cup regular rice and adapt this recipe for my rice cooker. Use the amount of chicken broth called for in the rice cooker directions.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup slivered almonds
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups uncooked instant rice
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, saute onion and almonds in butter for 5-6 minutes or until onion is tender and almonds are golden brown. Add broth. Bring to a boil. Stir in the rice, peas, salt and pepper. Cover and remove from the heat. Let stand for 6-8 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

This was delicious, simple and quick. I served it with the Quick Cordon Bleu on the same page.

I love this recipe. It is fast, easy and tasty. Even my husband, who doesn't usually care for rice, likes it.
