Ingredients

1 cup chopped pecans
5 tablespoons butter, divided
1 small onion, chopped
2 cups uncooked long grain rice
1 carton (32 ounces) chicken broth
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

In a large saucepan, saute pecans in 2 tablespoons butter until toasted; remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, saute onion in remaining butter until tender. Add rice; cook and stir until rice is lightly browned, 3-4 minutes. Stir in the broth, 2 tablespoons parsley, salt, thyme and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add carrots; simmer until rice is tender, 3-5 minutes longer. Stir in toasted pecans and remaining parsley. Fluff with a fork.

Can you freeze Pecan Rice Pilaf?

Reserving pecans for later, freeze cooled pilaf in a freezer container. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Microwave, covered, on high in a microwave-safe dish, adding 2-3 tablespoons water to moisten, until heated through. Toast pecans; add to pilaf.
