Macadamia Pilaf

• 1/3 cup (1/6 lb.) butter or margarine
• 3/4 cup (4 oz.) salted roasted macadamia nuts, very coarsely chopped
• 1 onion (1/2 lb.), chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
• 2 2/3 cups short- or medium-grain white rice
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

1. In a 10- to 12-inch frying pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add the macadamia nuts and stir until slightly darker brown, about 3 minutes. Scrape from pan into small bowl and set aside.
2. Add remaining butter, onion, and garlic to pan. Stir often over medium-high heat until onion is limp, about 5 minutes.
3. Add rice and stir often until grains turn opaque, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the broth and pepper. Heat to a simmer. Pour the mixture into a shallow 2 1/2- to 3-quart casserole; cover tightly.
5. Bake in a 375u0b0 oven until rice is tender to bite, 40 to 45 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with nuts and parsley.
