Direcciones
- Heat olive oil in a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Add bay leaf, cardamom, star anise and cinnamon stick. Let it heat until aroma of spices is released.
- Stir in the onion and saute until translucent and aromatic but not browned. Now add chopped carrot and saute for another 2 - 3 minutes or until you smell the aroma of nuts.
- Add the rice and sauté the rice for a few minutes until it is translucent around the edges.
- Add the saffron and its water, the stock, raisins, peas, salt, turmeric and chilli powder. Increase the heat and bring to a boil.
- Bring the dish to a simmer. Then turn the heat to medium, cook until all the water is been absorbed by the rice.
- While the pilaf is cooking, toast the nuts until golden brown. Once done, set aside to cool.
- Check the rice to see that all of the water has been absorbed and that the rice is cooked through and tender.
- Once the rice is done, cover with a tight fitting lid and let the dish rest for at least 10 to 20 minutes.
- To serve the dish, fluff the rice with fork and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, toasted nuts and pomegranate seeds.
- Serve hot with chilled yoghurt and salad.
