BASMATI RICE WITH PINE NUTS

You'll need to follow the directions on the container of Aromatic or Basmati Rice.  In place of the water, use canned chicken broth.  For approximately 1 cup of uncooked rice, use approximately 1/4 cup of freshly chopped parsley and approximately 1/4 cup of pine nuts.  Salt and pepper to taste.  This is the brand I use, but any that says Aromatic or Basmati Rice will be fine...

Chop approximately 1/4 cup of fresh parsley.  I use the flat Italian parsley...

If you've never used pine nuts, you'll love their crunchy taste.  After opening, I always freeze the rest...

Following the directions on my rice container, I poured the correct amount of chicken broth into a pan and then added the parsley and pine nuts...

I then added a cup of the basmati rice to the pan...

Bring it to a boil,

Cover, simmer and serve when it's finished...

The flavor is wonderful!
