TURKISH RECIPES

PILAF WITH ALMONDS

2 tablespoons finely
chopped dill
salt, allspice

Ingredients

1,5 cups rice
3 cups meat stock
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons blanched almonds

* SHORT NOTES *

The three most diverse and sophisticated cuisines in the world are said to be the Turkish, Chinese and French. All three are characterised by a fusion of their own strong culinary traditions with influences and borrowings from other cultures with which they have come in contact over the centuries. At the same time, like all cuisines they are shaped equally by the tastes of society and by the available variety of foodstuffs

Preparation

Melt the butter in a saucepan and fry the almonds. Wash and drain the rice, add the saucepan and stir over the heat for a few minutes. Add the stock and salt to taste, cover and cook for a few minutes over medium heat, and then over low heat. When the rice grains are tender, place a sheet of kitchen paper over the pan and cover again. Set aside for 10 minutes. Stir in the chopped dill and allspice. Serve hot. Hmm delicious!!!
