Savory Potato Rice Pilaf

1In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat.

2Add the chopped onion (1) and minced garlic (2 cloves). Saute until onion (1) is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3Stir in the diced potatoes (2 medium) and cook for another 5 minutes until slightly golden brown.

4Add the cumin powder (1 tsp), turmeric, paprika (½ tsp), and dried thyme (½ tsp). Stir well to coat the potatoes (2 medium) and onion (1) with the spices.

5Pour in the vegetable broth (2 cups) and bring to a simmer.

6Add the rice, stir to combine, and bring to a gentle boil.

7Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it simmer for about 15-18 minutes until the rice is fully cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

8Remove the skillet from heat, fluff the rice with a fork, and let it sit covered for 5 minutes to steam.

9Sprinkle chopped parsley, raisins (¼ cup), and toasted almonds over the pilaf. Gently mix to combine all the ingredients.

10Serve the savory potato rice pilaf warm as a delicious side dish or a main meal.
