Almond Pilaf

Recently, One of my friend was diagnosed with diabetics. When we were talking about what to eat and what not, she gave me some recipes which was suggested by her dietitian. One of them was Almond Pilaf which was of Low Carbs and it's very healthy for everyone not only the diabetic patients. This pilaf is very easy to make and I thought of posting this recipe in my blog.

This also gives me an opportunity to make my entry to JZ's Lets Go Nuts: Almonds - March 31st event started by Aquadaze of Served with Love

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups Brown rice
• 3 cups Water
• 1/4 cup raw Almonds,raw and grounded
• 1/4 tsp Garlic powder, to taste
• 1 tsp Parsley,dried
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper, to taste

Method

• In rice cooker, place all of the ingredients in a rice cooker.Cook until the water evaporates, about 30 minutes. or as per your cooking instructions in the package
• Fluff cooked rice with a fork. This dish goes very well with grilled/baked fish or chicken.
• Add a large green salad to complete the meal.

Note

• If you are using microwave, place all ingredients in a large, covered, microwave-safe dish.Microwave on 80% power for 33 minutes.
• For more interesting, you can also mix in cooked vegetables, toasted almonds,raisins or cashews to the pilaf.
• I served with Dilled Salmon Cakes and stir fry vegetables.
