Rice pilaf with hazelnuts
2 tablespoons butter
In a large heavy-based saucepan, melt the butter and cook the onion over
medium heat, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1
minute.
Add the rice and stir for 2 minutes to coat the grains.
Pour in the stock, and add the currants, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil,
lower the heat, and cover the pan. Cook the rice over low heat for 15 minutes.
Remove the rice from the heat and let it sit for 5 to 8 minutes to finish
cooking. Stir in the hazelnuts, taste for seasoning, and serve with pork
chops.
