Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and cook onion, turmeric, and cardamom, stirring constantly, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add rice and mix well.

  2. Pour chicken broth into the saucepan, stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 17 minutes.

  3. Toast pistachios in a dry skillet until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes, remove from skillet and coarsely chop.

  4. Place golden raisins in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for 1 minute and drain well.

  5. Remove rice from heat and allow to stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Mix in pistachios, raisins, and green onions, season with salt.

Recipe Note

I usually make this Mediterranean pilaf whenever I want to change up our regular rice routine and my family loves it. It goes well with lamb or other meat dishes.
