How to make Rice with raisins and pine nuts:
- To make this easy recipe for rice with raisins and pine nuts, the first thing we will do is gather all the ingredients that we are going to use
- Next, put a pot with water and bring it to a boil. When it boils, add the basmati rice and cook it for about 8 minutes, since it will finish cooking later with the raisins and pine nuts.
- Once it is cooked, we drain the rice and wash it with cold water to remove the starch that has been released. In this way we will get a dish of basmati rice with raisins and pine nuts, very loose, and not a sticky ball of rice.
- Next, in a frying pan, brown the raisins and pine nuts with a little olive oil. I said brown and not toast, because we want the rice with raisins and pine nuts to not taste burnt, and there is a fine line between browning, toasting and burning the nuts.
- Finally, we add the washed and well-drained rice to the pan and fry it together with the raisins and pine nuts for about 5 minutes so that we have fried rice.
- And ready! We can accompany our rice with raisins and pine nuts with some sweet and sour orange chicken as a main dish, or we can enjoy it simply as a starter for any occasion.
