This was some of the best rice I've ever tasted. Super easy and delicious! I left out the almonds because I didn't have any. So much better than the boxed stuff and just as easy.

Used sesame seeds instead of almonds; they coated the rice and added a wonderful crunch. Went with vegi broth and it was fab. Every grain of rice was gone; unusual in this house. Recommend letting those nuts/seeds brown more than the picture shows. You will get much more flavor.
