Amount Ingredient
5 tbl butter
1/2 cup chopped red bell peppers
3/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup basmati rice
(or other long-grain white rice)
3 cup low-salt chicken broth or more if needed
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp crushed saffron threads - (generous)
6 tbl freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
3 tbl chopped fresh chives
Instructions:
Instructions: Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add peppers and onion. Saute until soft, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add rice; stir 1 minute. Mix in 3 cups broth, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and saffron. Bring to simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes.

Remove from heat; stir in 6 tablespoons grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper. (Pilaf can be made 30 minutes ahead. Keep covered. Rewarm over low heat, adding more broth by tablespoonfuls to moisten if necessary.) Stir 1 1/2 tablespoons chives into pilaf. Mound in serving bowl. Top with cheese shavings and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons chives.

This recipe yields 6 servings.

Description: "Using the risotto method with long-grain rice yields rich flavor and light texture."
