Step by Step Method
Step 1
Roughly chop 1 onion and cook in a lightly oiled pan with 1/2 teaspoon curry powder and 2 cups basmati rice, stirring well to combine and then add 3 cups chicken stock and bring to a simmer and cover and reduce heat to low and cook for 12 to 14 minutes.
Step 2
Add 1 1/2 cups leftover chopped ham, chicken or turkey to the surface of the rice and cook for a few more minutes and then mix to combine.
Step 3
Serve with a dollop of yoghurt and top with a few roasted pistachio nuts, cranberries and mint leaves.
Step 4
Accompany with a side of chopped steamed green beans, if desired.
Step 5
VARIATION - to spice up the pilaf a little, add 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamon when cooking the onion and curry mix. A squeeze of lemon will go nicely when serving the pilaf.
