Toasted Almond-Scallion Rice | Delish D'Lites

I’m a huge fan of rice, it’s such a versatile side dish.  Unfortunately, rice can be overlooked sometimes because it can tend to be boring.  The best way to keep rice interesting is by mixing lots of different ingredients to change the personality of your rice.  This toasted almond scallion rice was inspired by my Sesame Ginger Salmon recipe.   I needed a side dish with some personality that would match will with the Asian flavors of the salmon.  This rice was the perfect fit.  The fluffy basmati rice and pungent scallion pairs perfectly with the aromantic sesame seeds and crunchy almonds.  It’s a perfect harmony of textures and flavors; this toasted almond scallion rice would go well with lots of different dishes, from Roast Chicken to Grilled Lamb and more.  The possibilities are truly endless.
