A delightful spiced rice dish with a medley of dried fruits and nuts, perfect for any occasion.
Cook the rice with the fresh ginger and salt in boiling water until tender, about 20 minutes.
Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the rice from sticking.
While the rice is cooking, soak the raisins and currants in warm water until plump, then drain.
Soaking the dried fruits enhances their texture and flavor.
Once the rice is cooked, remove the ginger and transfer the rice to a serving dish.
Fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains.
Mix the pepper, nutmeg, shallots, lemon juice, and olive oil into the rice.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the rice grains.
Fold in the soaked raisins and currants.
Ensure the dried fruits are evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the top before serving.
Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet for a richer flavor.
