Spicy Almond Rice

 

serves 4 to 6

 

1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil

4 whole cloves

¼ teaspoon hot red pepper flakes

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 cups water or broth

1 cup brown jasmine rice

2 teaspoons cumin seeds (I used less, about ½ tsp)

1 bay leaf

1 small onion, diced

½ teaspoon salt

1/3 cup almonds, roasted, chopped

 

 

Heat the olive oil in a heave sauce pan and stir in cumin seed,

cloves, and bay leaf. Cook 5-10 seconds over moderate heat until

cumin seed darkens slightly in color (brown not black, black is burnt

and ruined). Add red pepper flakes, onion, an d garlic. Stir until

onion is softened. add rice and stir to coat grains. Add water and

salt, bring to a boil, cover and simmer 50 minutes. Remove from heat

and let sit, covered 10 minutes. Fluff with fork. Remove bay leaf.

Stir in or top with almonds.

 

Optional: Steam in a small amount of water - peas, corn, and fresh

diced red bell pepper for a few minutes only. Drain. Pour these on

top of the nuts for a colorful presentation. As people are served,

make sure they get some nuts and veggies. Oh, and I also grated just

a little fresh ginger over it all, final touch.
