Step by Step guide

Step 1

Rinse the rice and place it in a pot with boiling water, cooking until done. Drain the rice in a colander and rinse with cold water to maintain its structure.

Step 2

Finely chop the dried persimmon and dried apricots. Lightly crush the nuts in a mortar. Soak all the dried fruits and nuts in water for about 20 minutes.

Step 3

Melt the butter and half of the honey in a skillet. Sauté the dried fruits with the nuts. After 5 minutes, add the rice. Cook for another 5–8 minutes. Remove from heat and let the pilaf sit covered for 8 minutes.
