Pecan Rice Pilaf

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Cook: 20 min. YIELD: 9 servings.
This is one of my standby side dishes, which can complement most meat and meatless entrees. It is special enough for company and quick enough for weeknights.—Jacqueline Oglesby, Spruce Pine, North Carolina

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 5 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 small onion, chopped
