Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Saute the onion and almonds over medium heat until onion is soft (not brown) and the almonds are golden. Stir in rice; cook stirring for about 4 minutes to release flavor. Stir in chopped carrot, currants, orange peel, cinnamon, black pepper and red pepper flakes.

Step 2

Carefully stir in chicken broth and water into the rice mixture, stir slightly with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat.

Step 3

Cover the saucepan and simmer until all liquid is absorbed, and the rice is tender (about 20 minutes). Season with salt.
