Rice Stuffing With Pine Nuts And Rosemary
- 1 Tbsp. salt
- 2 1/2 c. unconverted long-grain rice
- 2 c. finely chopped onion
- 1/2 stick (1/4 c.) unsalted butter
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary or 1 1/2 tsp. crumbled dried
- 1/2 c. canned chicken broth plus additional 3/4 c. if baking stuffing separately
- 1 c. thinly sliced scallion greens
- 1 c. minced fresh parsley leaves
- 1/2 c. pine nuts, toasted lightly
- In a kettle, bring 6 quarts water to a boil with the salt; sprinkle in the rice, stirring until the water returns to a boil, and boil for 10 minutes.
- Drain the rice in a large colander over a kettle of boiling water and steam the rice, covered with a kitchen towel and the lid, for 15 minutes, or until it is fluffy and dry.
- Let the rice cool; transfer it to a large bowl and cover it with plastic wrap.
- In a skillet, cook the onion in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is softened; remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the rosemary and 1/2 cup broth.
- Add to the rice the onion mixture, the scallion greens, the parsley, the pine nuts and salt and pepper to taste; stir the stuffing until it is combined well and let it cool completely before stuffing.
- The stuffing can also be baked separately by spooning it into a shallow baking dish, moistening it with additional 3/4 cup broth and bake it, covered, in a preheated 325u0b0 oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Makes about 8 cups uncooked stuffing or enough for a 14-pound turkey.
- Adjust amount of ingredients for smaller turkey or chicken.
