ARMENIAN RICE PILAF WITH RAISINS AND ALMONDS
This traditional Armenian rice pilaf has been passed down through the generations of Christine Vartanian Datian's family. Peas, parsley and allspice have been added to the original for extra flavor and color.

Steps:
- In a 5- to 6-quart pan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Break or crush the vermicelli into 1-inch lengths. Add the pasta and rice to the butter and stir often until golden, about 5-8 minutes, being careful not to burn the vermicelli.
- Add the broth, allspice and salt and pepper. Bring to a full boil over high heat, then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until rice is tender to bite, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a sauté pan over medium heat, melt remaining 1 or 2 tablespoons butter. Add the almonds and stir often until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the raisins and stir until they puff, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Stir peas if using, parsley and lemon juice into rice. Cover and simmer until peas are hot, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour pilaf into a serving bowl or on a platter and sprinkle with the raisin and nut mixture over the top. (Diced dried dates, figs, apricots or chopped walnuts may also be used in this topping.)

RICE PILAF WITH ALMONDS AND RAISINS
Pilafs may be served at everyday meals but are grand enough for entertaining as well. If you like, you could add a generous pinch of saffron threads to the rice just before you cover it and let it simmer. You could also use chicken stock instead of the 22 cup water.

Steps:
- Put the rice in a bowl. Wash in several changes of water. Drain. Let the rice soak in water that covers it generously for 30 minutes. Drain through a sieve and leave in the sieve suspended over a bowl to drip. Pour the oil into a heavy, medium pan (that has a tight-fitting lid) and set over medium-high heat. When hot, put in the cinnamon. Let it sizzle for 10 seconds. Put in the onions. Stir and fry the onions until they start to brown. Add the almonds. Stir until they are golden. Add the raisins. Stir until they are plump, just a few seconds. Add the drained rice and salt. Stir very gently to mix. Add 2 2/3 cups water and bring to a boil. Cover tightly, turn heat to very, very low, and simmer gently for 25 minutes.

ALMOND WILD RICE
Made with both brown rice and wild rice, this popular pilaf has a hint of fruity sweetness, thanks to golden raisins. I prepare the casserole the morning of the party, then refrigerate it in an ovenproof dish to heat through later. -Mark Trinklein, Racine, Wisconsin

GRILLED MOROCCAN CHICKEN WITH RAISIN & ALMOND PILAF, COOL CU
Skinless chicken thighs are rubbed with Moroccan spices and then grilled for a smoky flavor. The chicken rests atop a bed of rice pilaf and is drizzled with a cool cucumber dressing and accompanied with a flat bread to complete the meal. I love this recipe because each component of spice, sweet, and cool complement one another so well as to create a meal to remember. My husband and I enjoy it as much as our kids, which makes it an excellent family meal, in addition to being exotic enough for company.

Steps:
- For the Grilled Moroccan Chicken, remove the skin and any fat and set aside.
- In a small bowl combine the red chili powder, 1 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoons of paprika, cumin, coriander, onion powder, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and four minced garlic gloves. Stir to combine and drizzle with 1 tbs. of olive oil to create a paste.
- Using your hands, rub the mixture into the chicken completely coating each piece. Place in a re-sealable bag and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
- Grill the chicken on a clean and oiled grill that is set to medium-high heat. Cook until the inside of the meat registers 160 degrees on a meat thermometer, approximately 6 minutes on each side.
- For the Raisin and Almond Pilaf, heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the remaining 1/2 tbs. of olive oil. Once hot add the remaining two minced garlic gloves, stirring constantly (30 seconds or so) before adding the raisins and almonds. Stir to combine and then add the rice, 1 teaspoons of salt, the chicken broth, and 1 1/2 cups of water. Stir and bring to a boil before lowering the heat to the lowest setting and covering for 20 minutes. Once done, fluff with a fork and add 2 tbs. each of the fresh parsley and cilantro.
- For the Cool Cucumber dressing, add the cucumber, sour cream, garlic powder, black pepper, 1/2 teaspoons salt, remaining 1/2 teaspoons of paprika, and the remaining 2 tbs. each of the fresh parsley and cilantro. Pulse until smooth and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

Stop adding water when the mixture become dough-like and you can roll it onto a floured surface. Knead the dough several time before rolling it out to 1/4 inch. thickness. Spray each side with a light coating of olive oil spray before grilling on medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side. Once done, cut flat bread with a pizza cutter and serve with the meal.
