Cranberry and Almond Rice Pilaf

I’ve been making this dish for years - it’s different from typical rice pilaf dishes in that the cranberries add the sweetness and the tartness that you don’t expect in a savory dish. Oh, and it’s super hard to fumble.

Step: 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step: 2

Stir cranberries and jasmine rice into onion until rice is coated with oil and rice is lightly toasted, about 5 minutes more.

Step: 3

Pour chicken broth into skillet and season with kosher salt and black pepper.

Step: 4

Bring rice mixture to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 22 minutes.

Step: 5

Remove skillet from heat; stir green onions, cilantro, and almonds into rice mixture. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
