Steps:

• Spread pine nuts on baking sheet and bake in oven set at 350 degrees until golden brown. Melt butter in saucepan. Add onion and saute until softened. Add rice and stir until coated with butter. Add water, bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat. Continue to cook until water absorbs and rice is light and fluffy, about 20 minutes. Toss in pine nuts and serve.

Steps:

• Soften the shallot with the carrot in the butter in a saucepan. Add rice and two cups chicken stock. Cover and simmer gently. As the liquid dries, add more stock. The rice should take about an hour and is done when it is open and soft.
• Meanwhile, toast the pine nuts. Mix them into the rice, season and serve at once.

Steps:

• Rinse the rice under cold water in a colander. Drain. In a saucepan, over high heat, bring the chicken stock, water, 1 T of the butter and 1/2 t of the salt to a boil. Stir in the rice and cover tightly, simmer over very low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the grains have absorbed all of the liquid.
• In another skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 T of butter. Stir in the pistachios and pine nuts and saute until they are a light golden color. It doesn't take long, make sure you don't burn them! Remove the skillet from the heat.
• Put the cooked rice in a serving bowl and fluff it with a fork. Scrape the nuts over the rice and toss gently. Sprinkle the rice with the mace, if desired.
