Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cranberry Almond Jasmine Rice Pilaf.
Step 1
To start your delicious dish, grab a large skillet or Dutch oven and warm up some olive oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in your chopped onions and sauté them until they become tender and translucent, which should take about five minutes.
Step 3
Next, add in the jasmine rice and dried cranberries, stirring them together until the rice is nicely coated with the oil and takes on a light toast, roughly five minutes more.
Step 4
Now it’s time to pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, and don’t forget to season it with a pinch of kosher salt and a dash of ground black pepper.
Step 5
Bring this delightful mixture to a boil, letting the aromas fill your kitchen.
Step 6
When it reaches a rolling boil, cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer gently until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, which will take about 22 minutes.
Step 7
Once the timer goes off, remove the skillet from the heat and gently fold in the chopped green onions, slivered almonds, and fresh cilantro.
Step 8
Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Step 9
Enjoy the vibrant flavors and textures of this comforting dish!.
