Report
Get creative with a spin on a favorite classic. I've added almonds and golden raisins to this brown rice pilaf recipe, and it does not disappoint.

Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter divided
- 2 shallots minced
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
- 1/3 cup golden raisins
- 1 1/2 cups brown rice rinsed
- 3 cups chicken broth can sub veggie broth
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- fresh parsley optional garnish
Instructions
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium to large pot over medium heat. Stir in the shallots and cook until they just begin to soften, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir in the almonds and raisins and cook for another couple minutes until the almonds begin to turn golden brown.
- Stir in the rice until it is well coated and the grains begin to turn translucent. Add in the broth and salt and bring to a boil. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, turn down the heat to low and cook until the rice is tender, anywhere from 25 to 45+ minutes depending on the type of rice you bought (quick-cooking vs. regular brown rice).
- Mix in the extra tablespoon of butter, season with more salt (and pepper) to taste (if desired), garnish with fresh parsley (if desired), and serve.
Notes
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
- Can be vegetarian when using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
