Pilaf with walnuts

Ingredients:

• 1 cup lightly salted chicken broth
• 1 cup of water
• 1 - 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 0.5 cup chopped green onions (white and green parts)
• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 50 g dried figs
• 0.5 cups toasted chopped walnuts

Preparation:

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the broth and water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and keep the broth hot.
2. In another saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the green onions and sauté for about 3 minutes. Stir in the rice, season with salt and pepper to taste, and sauté for another 2 minutes. Pour in the hot broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cover the pan. Simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
3. Add the walnuts and figs and taste, adding more salt and black pepper if needed. Transfer the pilaf to a serving platter and serve.
