Method
0 of 3 done- Heat the olive oil in a heavy saucepan over moderate heat. Add the pine nuts and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove the pine nuts with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add the rice to the oil remaining in the pan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, for 1 minute. Pour in the water and bring to the boil. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to very low, and simmer until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and leave it to stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Chop the basil finely. Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in the basil, the reserved pine nuts, and salt and pepper to taste.
