Directions:
- NOTE: If using spaghetti, break up the strands into small 1/4 pieces using a rolling pin.
- Heat up 3 tablespoons of butter on medium heat until the butter smells nutty but NOT burnt.
- Sautè the rice with the orzo, leek (or onion), cinnamon stick and allspice until rice grains and pasta glisten and are lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato and broth; bring to a boil.
- Lower heat to simmer, cover and cook for 18-20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter on low-medium heat and lightly toast the almonds.
- Stir in the raisins and dried apricots, stirring until dried fruit is very slightly plump. This will only take a minute.
- Set the almond/dried fruit mixture aside.
- Once the rice is done cooking, stir in the almond/dried fruit, parsley and mint.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove cinnamon stick before serving.
