ARROZ CON PINIONES

[Guest guest]

Rice with pine nuts

 

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup pine nuts

1 cup rice, or 1/3 cup per person

3 cups water

Salt and pepper

 

 

Heat the olive oil in a large pot, add the chopped onion and pine

nuts, and gently saute for 5-10 minutes. Add the rice and water to

cover to a depth of about 1 1/2 inches. Add salt and pepper and boil

gently until craters form on the surface. Remove from heat, cover

tightly, and set aside for 20 minutes.

This is excellent served with chopped fresh mint sprinkled over the

top, or with yogurt sauce (melt 4 tbsp butter, add 1 tsp paprika and

stir into a cup of yogurt)

Serves 3-4
