directions

  • Put rice and broth into a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer. Cover until the liquid is gone (about 20 min).
  • In a saute pan, melt the butter and add the dried fruit and nuts. Be careful not to burn the butter.
  • When the rice is done, put it in a large bowl and top it with the fruit and nut mixture.
  • Optionally, you may want to toast the nuts in a dry pan to help bring out more of their flavor.

  1. I was intrigued with using the chicken broth in this recipe, especially with the dried fruits & nuts, but it all came together beautifully & was most satisfying! I did use a mix of pine nuts, almonds, raisins, dried apricots AND a bit of diced dates! Wonderful! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
