Инструкции
- In a large saucepan, heat the butter and extra virgin olive oil over low heat. Add in onion and garlic and cook till softened about 4 min stirring frequently.
- Increase the heat a little and add in the chile, cumin seeds, cardamom, and ginger. Cook, stirring, about 2 min till it is fragrant. Add in the saffron and chicken stock, mix well and remove from the heat. Cover and let the saffron flavor the stock for 5 min or possibly so.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring the stock to a simmer over moderate heat. Stir in the rice, cinnamon, bay leaf, currants, apricots and the salt. Return to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for another 15 to 16 min. If the rice is too wet cook a little longer.
- Meanwhile, place the almonds and pine nuts on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 3 to 4 min till lightly golden brown. Add in the pistachios and toast for another minute. Remove from oven and put on a plate to cold.
- Uncover the rice and using a fork stir to fluff. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Add in the nuts and toss it together. Sprinkle the coriander on top and serve.
- Judi's Notes: I made this dish using 1 c. of orange juice for one c. of the chicken broth. My friend Marilyn would scold me if she only knew, but it did give it a very good flavor. I also included 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric with the other spices that enhanced the dish nicely and gave it a lovely color too. This is great with lamb kebabs, warmed pita bread, a nice middle eastern cucumber salad, and a Persian pastry for dessert.
