Basmati Rice with Pistachios

Basmati Rice with Pistachios

Basmati rice is a luxuriously perfumed rice that is prized throughout the world. We added panache with gorgeous pistachios and tart cranberries. We urge you to take the time to prepare the brightly flavored candied orange peel garnish. DELICIOUS!

Garnish the rice with Candied Orange Peel.
