Name: Crispy Green Rice Pilaf
Cuisine: American, Asian, Indian
Ingredients: ½ cup raw pistachios; 4 cups cilantro, mint, basil, and/or dill; 1 (or up to 3) serrano chile, stems removed, split lengthwise; ¼ cup fresh lime juice; 2 Tbsp. white miso; ½ tsp. kosher salt, plus more; ⅓ cup plus 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil; 4 cups cooked white rice, chilled overnight; 6 oz. sugar snap peas; 3 scallions; ¾ cup crumbled feta; ½ cup golden raisins; 1 cup shelled fresh peas (from about 1 lb. pods) or frozen peas, thawed

Instructions

You need day-old rice to make this vibrant, springy pilaf recipe, but it’s worth planning ahead. The precooked rice gets super crisp before it’s tossed with soft feta, crunchy pistachios and snap peas, and jammy golden raisins. It’s a true study in textures.
