This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. Ingredients:
1/4 cup pine nuts |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1/3 cup long-grain white rice |
2/3 cup water |
1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves |
Directions:
1. In a 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan cook pine nuts in oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon transfer pine nuts to a bowl. Add rice to oil in pan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, 1 minute. Add water and bring to a boil. Cover rice and cook over very low heat until water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let rice stand, undisturbed, 5 minutes.
2. Finely chop basil. Fluff rice with a fork and stir in basil, pine nuts, and salt and pepper to taste.
