Iraqi Rice Timman

Produces a light fluffy, tasty grain. I always use chicken or beef stock depending what i am serving it with. May be made yellow by adding 1/2 tsp turmeric. enjoy this with recipe #365961 with or without stock, recipe #363669, recipe #11761 or other stews, kabobs, etc.

Steps

Wash rice well in a sieve and drain.
Heat olive oil or butter in a large based pot , add rice and stir over high heat for two minutes.
Add stock and bring to high simmer stirring once at first to separate the grains from the bottom of the pot.
Reduce heat to medium low and cover pot tightly for 15 minutes.
Open pot and fluff rice with a fork.
Place paper towels around rim and cover tightly again.
Reduce heat to low and leave for 25 minutes then remove paper towels and you can leave longer on low.
Meanwhile in a small dry pan toast pine nuts over medium high heat until golden.
Watch carefully as they tend to burn quickly.
Sprinkle over rice and fluff with a fork to incorporate.
Enjoy with any meat stew , bamia dish or chicken.
