Walnut Rice
Walnut rice is a special and delicious dish that makes a perfect accompaniment to any roasted meat or vegetable dish. The harmonious combination of sweet and savory flavors makes this dish truly unique. Toasting the walnuts with a little butter and honey adds extra depth of flavor to the dish, while the rice remains soft and light. For an even richer flavor, try sprinkling with a little grated Parmesan cheese. This dish is an ideal choice for festive occasions or when you want to prepare a quick yet elegant side dish. Walnut rice is not only delicious but also healthy, as walnuts are full of valuable nutrients and omega-3 fatty acids, which have a beneficial effect on the body.

Preparation Steps
1
Rinse the jasmine rice in cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch and prevent it from becoming too sticky.
2
Bring 400 ml of water to a boil in a saucepan, then add the rice and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat for 12-15 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the water. Let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the roughly chopped walnuts and toast for 3-4 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
4
Sprinkle with black pepper and a pinch of salt, then stir in the honey to caramelize the walnuts. Cook for another 1-2 minutes over low heat.
5
Add the cooked rice to the skillet and mix thoroughly with the walnut mixture. Sauté for an additional 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6
Finally, sprinkle with finely chopped parsley and serve warm as a side dish or a standalone dish.
