Step 3To this, add butter and when it’s melted and starts to sizzle, throw in onions and red peppers; sauté until soft about 2 minutes. Add cumin, turmeric and garlic; sauté for 1 minute.

Step 4Pour in chicken broth and then add rice; season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add dried raisins and dried apricots; stir to combine. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 15 minutes or until liquid is all absorbed.

Step 5Remove from heat and add toasted nuts; cover again and let it sit for 10 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick and gently fluff rice with a fork before serving.
