How to Prepare Jeweled Yellow Rice With Pignoli Nuts and Golden Raisins [Vegan]
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the pine nuts on a baking sheet and cook until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Be mindful pine nuts burn quickly. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and rice. Cook, frequently stirring to prevent sticking, 4-5 minutes until onions begin to soften and rice begins to take on some color.
- Stir in the turmeric and kosher salt until rice turns a golden yellow. Add the golden raisins and vegetable broth and heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook for 15 minutes or until rice is tender. You can add additional broth 1-2 tablespoons at a time, if necessary.
- Stir in the pignoli nuts and chopped parsley.
- Serve!
Notes
You can substitute white rice, but you may need to increase the vegetable broth by 1/4-1/2 cup and increase cooking time by five minutes.
