Nutty Rice Pilaf
1 tablespoon sesame oil
¾ cup chopped onion
1 large clove of garlic minced
½ teaspoon fresh minced ginger
¼ teaspoon of seeds (fennel or sesame)
1 cup of Inari Rice Trio
3 cups boiling water ( ½ for soaking rice)
½ tablespoon butter
¾ cup mixed chopped nuts (any combination of pecans, walnuts, almonds cashews)
½ cup raisins
¼ teaspoon salt

PREPARATION:
Add rice to a bowl or pot and cover with 2 cups boiling water. Allow to soak for 15 – 20 minutes and then drain. In a wok or deep skillet sauté onion, garlic, ginger and seeds in oil on medium heat for about 5 - 10 minutes, until onions are clear. Add the Rice and sauté for an additional 8 minutes, stirring frequently. Add remaining 2 cups of boiling water to wok. Cover and reduce heat to simmer for up to 40 minutes (until rice is cooked). While rice is cooking, melt butter in a small skillet and sauté nuts on low heat (10- 15 minutes). Stir and watch carefully to avoiding burning. Stir remaining ingredients (except nuts) into rice and cook for an additional minute or so. Add nuts just before serving.
