Rice Pilaf

This is a great side dish.

3 TB butter

1 cup uncooked converted rice(I use Jasmine)

2 1/4 cups chicken broth

1/8 tsp salt

1/3 cup slivered almonds

1/4 cup diced celery

1/4 cup diced onion

1 tsp parsley

Melt 2 TB butter and add rice. I stir constantly. Saute rice for 4-5 minutes until it begins to brown. Add broth and salt. In a small saucepan add 1 Tb butter and the celery, almonds, and onion. Saute for about 5 minutes and add to rice. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Check the rice if it done. If not add a little bit more water and cook 3 more minutes. I actually put this in my rice cooker and it turns out great.
