A delightful rice dish infused with warm spices, crunchy cashews, and sweet raisins.
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning the spices.
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the turmeric and cumin, cooking for 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Toasting the spices enhances their flavor.
Add the rice and stir to coat it with the spice mixture.
This step helps toasting the rice slightly for a nutty flavor.
Pour in the water, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil.
Use a tight-fitting lid to ensure even cooking.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Avoid lifting the lid to maintain the steam.
Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
This resting period allows the rice to finish cooking evenly.
Fluff the rice with a fork and gently stir in the cashews, raisins, and parsley.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the rice grains.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Golden Cashew Pilaf.
Pair with a protein or salad for a complete meal.
