4-6
ingredients
- 1 cup rice, uncooked
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup water
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup pine nuts
- 1⁄4 cup pistachios, shelled and unsalted
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground mace (optional)
directions
- Rinse the rice under cold water in a colander. Drain. In a saucepan, over high heat, bring the chicken stock, water, 1 T of the butter and 1/2 t of the salt to a boil. Stir in the rice and cover tightly, simmer over very low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the grains have absorbed all of the liquid.
- In another skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 T of butter. Stir in the pistachios and pine nuts and saute until they are a light golden color. It doesn't take long, make sure you don't burn them! Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Put the cooked rice in a serving bowl and fluff it with a fork. Scrape the nuts over the rice and toss gently. Sprinkle the rice with the mace, if desired.

Hello! I have a wonderful husband and two fantastic kids. I love to read, have fun with family and friends, stay active with: running; soccer; golf; biking; hiking; and gardening. I love to travel. I'm looking forward to more international travel someday. Cooking has become a passion for me. I love to read cookbooks, watch the Food Network, and try new recipes. I have way too many cookbooks! A few of my favorites are: Barefoot Contessa (any - but especially 'Family Style'),Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2, Roasting by Barbara Kafka, Beyond Parsley & The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook. I try to carefully choose recipes that I think my family will enjoy, which is why most of my ratings are 3-5 stars. Happy cooking!
