Directions
Moroccan Rice Pilaf,The word pilaf is enough to send me right to the dining table with a mouth that can’t wait any longer to begin my meal. This is a wonderful pilaf(pulao) from the Thursday magazine dated August 10-16’06. Enjoy!,Spicy, but super yummy! If I were to make this for guests who did not care for spicy food I would cut the cayenne in half. used 1 and 3/4 cup chicken broth when I made this recipe (I always use 1 3/4 cup liquid when I cook with basmati rice and it always turns out perfect!). I also rinsed the rice thoroughly till the water was clear before adding it to the pan. Rinsing first and then toasting it in the pan prior to adding liquid really make for a more fluffy rice. I did add ~1/4 tsp cinnamon with the other spices for some warmth. I didn’t have currants and instead used golden raisins. The crunch of the almonds and sweetness of the raisins really elevated the rice and made for a delicious contrast between nutty, spicy and sweet. We eat a lot of rice in our house and my husband the entire night was raving how much he loved it!
