Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup pine nuts
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1/3 cup long- grain white rice
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves

Directions:

  1. In a 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan cook pine nuts in oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon transfer pine nuts to a bowl. Add rice to oil in pan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, 1 minute. Add water and bring to a boil. Cover rice and cook over very low heat until water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let rice stand, undisturbed, 5 minutes.
  2. Finely chop basil. Fluff rice with a fork and stir in basil, pine nuts, and salt and pepper to taste.
