Asparagus Cashew Rice Pilaf
22
SABRINATEE
"This is an adaptation of an old Armenian recipe, and this variation is so delicious I can't stop eating it. It's a great way to stretch expensive seasonal asparagus and pricey cashews. It's great as a side dish or as a vegetarian entree."

Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, and cook 20 minutes, until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed.

Delicious,though a little bland until I added 1/6 cup of thyme and I served it with tilapia.

UPDATE 9-26-07: I've made this a hundred times (at least!) since my original review - I think I could make this blindfolded! Now I only put in Asparagus if I have leftovers, and I rarely add th...

Very good. Used sliced almonds as I did not have cashews, but it would have been way better with cashews, I can tell. I used chicken broth and then chicken base granules instead of salt. Also, s...

Lovely recipe but WAY too much butter. I usually make this recipe camping, which is a rather unconventional side dish for under the stars but so easy. In place of the vegetable broth, I use ho...

I would have rated this a five, but I surveyed my dinner table after the meal and it was a four concensus. I loved it. To make the measurements easier than they are in the recipe, I used one ...

This recipe has to be the exact duplicate of Rice A Roni. The only difference were the cashews and the asparagus which added a nice twist to this recipe. It was excellent but since it was exac...

This pilaf is incredible, although it can do without so much butter... 2 Tablespoons would be adequate. The mixture of these ingredients is to die for.

This recipe is excellent as is, but it's also a great starting point for coming up with your own version. I used broccoli because I couldn't afford asparagus this week(also last time I tried an...

I've been using this recipe for a few months and I like it more every time I make it. I use at least double the amount of asparagus, and increase the amount of cashews. I've taken it to picnic...
