Directions

Step 1

Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring water to a boil, add salt, and then the rice. Cook until the rice is just tender but still firm.

Step 3

In a small bowl, steep the saffron in 2 tablespoons of hot water to release its color and flavor.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a pan, sauté the chopped onion until golden brown, then add the cardamom and cinnamon.

Step 5

Add the drained rice to the pan, mix in the saffron water, and fold in the pistachios and raisins.

Step 6

Cover the pan and allow the pilaf to steam on low heat for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
