Moroccan Pilaf

A great side dish

Moroccan Pilaf:

Ingredients:

1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1.5 cups long grain rice
1 Tbsp canola (or other) oil - NOTE: many canola oils are genetically modified - try another oil if you're not sure
4 shallots, finely chopped
1 Tbsp Moroccan seasoning (MasterFoods has a nice one)
1 cup peas
1/2 cup currants

Method:

1. Cook the rice - however you normally would - I put it in the rice cooker
2. Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 1-2 mins. Add the moroccan seasoning and stir to combine.
3. Add the drained rice, peas, currants and slivered almonds. Stir-fry until heated through.
4. Serve alone or as a side dish
