Turmeric or cinnamon? Nuts or raisins? The players may change, but the fundamentals of fluffy, fragrant jasmine rice pilaf are always the same.

Preparation
Step 1
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high. Add onion, fennel, and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until onion is softened and translucent, 5–8 minutes. Add coriander and tumeric and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add rice and cook, stirring often, until some grains are translucent, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Add stock, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover saucepan, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12–15 minutes. Remove pan from heat and fluff rice with a fork. Cover with a clean kitchen towel, then lid. Let sit 10 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in fennel fronds and half of almonds. Top with cilantro and remaining almonds.

Back to TopMy family Loved this! You may be aware that American grown rice often has high levels of arsenic. For that reason, I always substitute Basmati Rice, as it's reported to have the lowest levels. I made a few other changes. I lessened the ratio of Fennel to onion to 1/6 but followed all other directions. Excellent and tasty. Making it in a Le Creuset allowed me to cook it a bit ahead of our event, but still serve it hot.
