Looking for recipe for Portuguese Rice with raisins, pinenuts, almonds?
A friend attended a dinner catered by a Portuguese chef and was served a rice dish that she loved. She said it was white rice and had raisins, pinenuts and almonds in it. I have searched the web and haven't found one that quite matches her description. Wish I had eaten it myself as I could probably figure it out. Does anyone out there have a recipe for this?
Thanks!
I don't speak Portuguese, but I used a translator and got the gist of it think. I wonder if Parrot leaves are bay leaves? That was the only thing that translated in a way I couldn't figure out.
The first recipe in English sounds very close to what my friend described. I will give her both. Her son's girlfriend is first generation American with parents from Portugal, so I am sure they can translate the Portuguese recipe for her.
It is almost impossible to pick a best answer since both are great! Thank you!
