Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup (1/6 lb.) butter or margarine
  • 3/4 cup (4 oz.) salted roasted macadamia nuts, very coarsely chopped

    Add the broth and pepper. Heat to a simmer. Pour the mixture into a shallow 2 1/2- to 3-quart casserole; cover tightly.
  5. 5
    Bake in a 375° oven until rice is tender to bite, 40 to 45 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with nuts and parsley.
