Ginger Basmati Pilaf with Cumin and
Scallions
From Gourmet, Sept 2003, pg. 167.
Directions
Wash rice in cold water in a bowl until water is clear, drain well in a
sieve.
Cook white and pale green scallions and ginger in oil in a 2-quart heavy
saucepan over moderate heat, stirring until scallions are softened,
about 3 minutes. Add rice and cumin seeds and cook, stirring, until
fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in water and salt and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until rice is tender and water is
absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and add scallion greens (do
not stir), then let stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork,
stirring in scallion greens.
Serves 4.
