Pomegranate Pecan Rice Pilaf Ingredients:
Basmati Rice Pomegranate Pecans Onion Ginger Spices: All-Spice, Cinnamon, Cardamom, Star Anise Coconut Oil Vegetable Stock ” The combination of pecans with pomegranate is DIVINE “ And then mixing it with pecans, flavorful spices and I made this one using vegetable stock (you can use water too). The Pomegranate Pecan Rice seriously tastes heavenly. No seriously, imagine biting into those delicious red jewel-like poms arils along with nutty pecans and melt-in-your-mouth rice —-Totally Yummm!!!
How to Make Pomegranate Pecan Rice Pilaf:
The recipe is fairly simple, you just need to cook rice, spices, and pecans along with vegetable stock or water, and then once the rice is cooked. Just add heaps of fresh pomegranate seeds and mix the rice using a fork (gently). The key to the Pomegranate Pecan Rice is mixing the pomegranate lightly once the pilaf is ready. If you push or add any force, the pom arils will blister and that will make your rice look kinda mush and a weird red color that no one wants to eat.
Now here’s a TIP:
If you plan to make this dish for a potluck or even an office lunch, just keep the pomegranate separately and mix just before serving.
