Sweet Nutty Black Rice Pilaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups black rice
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion (sweet?)
2/3 cup golden raisin, chopped
3 tablespoons orange zest
3 cups water

1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Preparation

In a 2-quart sauce pan, heat the oil over medium heat, add onions and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes, making sure not to brown the onions.
Add the orange zest to the onions. Stir in the rice and immerse it in the oil until the rice is hot.
Stir in the water, add salt and bring to a boil. Cover, lower heat and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes or until the rice is nearly tender.
Let rest for a few minutes before fluffing. Add the chopped raisins and walnuts on top and serve.
