Riz au Miel

Riz au Miel is a delightful Moroccan dish that combines fluffy rice with the natural sweetness of honey and the warmth of spices. This healthy recipe is perfect for a comforting meal that brings a taste of Morocco to your table.

Ingredients

• Basmati rice - 150 grams
• Water - 300 milliliters
• Honey - 2 tablespoons (30 grams)
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters)
• Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon (2 grams)
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon (3 grams)
• Almonds, sliced - 30 grams
• Raisins - 30 grams
• Fresh mint leaves - a handful

Steps

1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
4. In a separate small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced almonds and toast them for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
5. Once the rice is cooked, remove it from heat and fluff it with a fork. Stir in the honey, cinnamon, toasted almonds, and raisins until well combined.
6. Let the rice sit covered for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
7. Serve warm, garnished with fresh mint leaves.
