Steaming the apricots over the rice while it rests softens them just enough.

  • I made this as a side for a semi-saucey grilled chicken. I thought the flavors would pack a little more punch. It came out fairly dry. I added another 1/4 cup of water and cooked for 6 more minutes and it was much better. It's critical to get perfectly roasted and crisp almonds. I love parsley but only used 1/2 cup. 2 cups seemed an overwhelming amount. Perhaps next time, I will try it with a cup of parsley and keep increasing that amount until I'm proven wrong.
