Pecan-Rice Pilaf
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onions
- 1/4 cup chopped carrots
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 1 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 dash salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup toasted pecan pieces
Directions
Makes 4 servings
Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and carrots and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are slightly soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the rice and chicken broth, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the rice is tender and the broth is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Add the pecan pieces and fluff with a fork.
To serve, place equal portions of the pilaf in the center of 4 dinner plates, top with the chicken and garnish with the green onions.
