Instructions: In a large pan, lightly brown the almonds in the margarine, stirring often.

Add the dates and sultanas or raisins. Continue to cook and stir until the fruit is plumped. Place the cooked rice over the fruits and nuts and cover pan. Let cook over low heat (or in low oven), 10 to 20 minutes, until heated through.

Just before serving, sprinkle rice with rose water and additional almonds and orange peel.
