Toasted pine nuts dress up rice with a pleasant crunch. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter or margarine |
1 3/4 cups uncooked converted long-grain rice (we tested with uncle ben's) |
2 (14-ounce) cans chicken broth |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
6 green onions, chopped |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted |
garnish: fresh basil sprig |
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add rice, and sauté 4 minutes or until golden brown. Combine sautéed rice, broth, and next 3 ingredients in a 4-quart slow cooker.
2. Cover and cook on HIGH 2 hours or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Stir in pine nuts. Garnish, if desired.
3. Fresh is Best: If you have fresh basil on hand, use 1 tablespoon fresh instead of 1 teaspoon dried basil.
