Inspired by Ottoman palace cuisine, this lightly sweet pilaf pairs rice cooked in butter with toasted almonds, cinnamon, and sugar. Its elegant flavor makes it a special choice for entertaining and celebrations.

Step by Step

1

Toast the rice

6 min

Melt the butter, add the rinsed rice, and toast for a few minutes until it has absorbed the butter.

2

Cook the rice with hot water

18 min

Add the hot water, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cook over low heat until the water is absorbed.

3

Toast the almonds

4 min

In a separate skillet, toast the sliced almonds until lightly golden.

4

Let the pilaf rest and serve

10 min

Remove the pilaf from the heat, cover it with a cloth, and let it rest for 10 minutes. Transfer it to a serving dish and sprinkle the toasted almonds on top.

Reminder

Important: Lightly toast the almonds in a dry skillet and add them to the pilaf at the end to preserve their crunch and aroma. Allergens: contains tree nuts (almonds) and dairy (butter).
