pullao (cranberry and garbanzo)
Ingredients:
2-3 Tbsp canola oil
1 inch cinnamon stick
5-6 whole cloves
½ cup green string beans cut in thin circles
1 cup long grain basmati rice
1 ¾ cup water
1 tsp salt
1 cup boiled garbanzos
2 Tbsp dry cranberries
2 Tbsp dry roasted pine nuts
2-3 Tbsp canola oil
1 inch cinnamon stick
5-6 whole cloves
½ cup green string beans cut in thin circles
1 cup long grain basmati rice
1 ¾ cup water
1 tsp salt
1 cup boiled garbanzos
2 Tbsp dry cranberries
2 Tbsp dry roasted pine nuts
Garbanzos are the kind of beans which would
taste good in any form. So I will throw some boiled
garbanzos, dry cranberries, sautéed string beans
and nuts like dry roasted pine nuts to make this rice dish as complete meal.
Method
Heat the oil on medium to high heat in a medium size non stick pan. Stir in cinnamon stick and cloves for a few seconds. Add string beans and cook for 4-5 minutes until it is soft but still crunchy.
Add rice, cook for 2-3 minutes to get coated with oil. Stir in water, salt and bring to a boil on medium to high heat. Adjust the heat to minimum, add garbanzos, cranberries and pine nuts and simmer until all the water is absorbed and little holes are seen on the surface. It should take about 10- 12 minutes with a tight lid on the pan. Let the rice sit undisturbed for 5-10 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
