Basmati Rice With Pine Nuts Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Rice is a commonly served side dish in middle eastern cuisine and the more aromatic varieties like jasmine and basmati are the most popular. Basmati is slender, long grain rice that's typically associated with indian cuisine. The name itself is hindi for "Fragrant. " Native to the indian subcontinent, it's now grown and exported from india, bangladesh, and pakistan. Rice cooked in middle eastern recipes is most often done as a pilaf. Meaning it's cooked in stock instead of plain water and usually has added vegetables and/or spices. Typically, onion and garlic are sauteed in olive oil until translucent or even lightly caramelized. The basmati or jasmine rice is then added and sauteed for a few minutes in the mixture. Then various spices and chicken or vegetable stock are added. This fabulous side dish is full of nutty flavor. The already nutty flavor of the basmati rice is enhanced with some pine nuts to show just how much you can do with rice.
