Ingredients:

  • 3 cups of basmati rice
  • 1 1/2 cups of halved cashews
  • 1 bunch of scallions
  • 2-3 cups of stock
  • 2 oz. of amoretto
  • 1 tsp. of turmeric
  • 1/4 lb of butter

Directions:

  1. Cook the rice in 2 gallons of water to which the turmeric was added until it is 3/4 of the way done. Rinse it and let it drain completely.
  2. Toast the cashews and chop the scallions small.
  3. Heat 1/4 a lb. of butter in a shallow roundel then dump in the rice and Amoretto - Stir it well.
  4. Put in the stock, cashews and the saffron and mix together. Cover and let it cook over a very low heat until the stock has been absorbed and the rice finished. The scallions should be added right at the very end. Season with salt and white pepper.
  5. *Use any stock for whatever dish this is to accompany. If using a fish or shellfish stock do not use any Amoretto…insipid!
