Rice With Parsley, Almonds, And Apricots
- 1 cup skin-on almonds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 1 (3x1-inch) strip lemon zest
- 1/3 cup chopped dried apricots
- 2 cups chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Preheat oven to 300u0b0F. Toss almonds with oil on a small rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Roast, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Let cool, then chop.
- Meanwhile, rinse rice in several changes of water until water runs clear. Bring rice, lemon zest, and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan; season with salt. Reduce heat, cover pan, and simmer until rice is tender, 18-20 minutes. Remove from heat, uncover, and scatter apricots over rice. Cover; let sit 10 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork, then mix in almonds, parsley, and lemon juice. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
