Wild Raisin Nut Rice Pilaf With Olive Oil Butter & Sea Salt #SundaySupper

My Sunday Supper team is testing out a great new product. LAND O LAKES^® has come out with brand new butter infused with olive oil and sea salt.  What a combination !! The group’s theme this week is Simple and Fresh Summer Recipes . As a team we all received coupons to get  free butter and have all come up with foodie creations using the new LAND O LAKES^® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt .  I usually shy away from using too much butter, but a butter infused with olive oil …  ooh who can resist ? I made a buttery wild rice pilaf which tasted simply ‘ melt in mouth like butter’  delish! I call it “wild” because it’s a wild  blend of 4 kinds of raisins.  There’s golden, black, red and flame raisins ! This is the jumbo raisin medley pack from Trader Joe’s, but you can use any raisin mix you want. You can also use a  mix of raisins, dried cranberries or other dry fruit. I used cashew nuts, but any kind of nut is good. Be creative and use your favorite fruit nut combo. There’s butter all over this recipe, but it’s olive oil butter,  so eat up !! It’s super simple to make.  It’s super simple to make. Long grain basmati rice is cooked with a little cumin and butter. Wild raisins, nuts and onion are roasted to perfection in butter and mixed into the rice. The end result is a delicately flavored fruit nut rice pilaf that is simple and fresh enough to eat at a barbecue or elegant enough to serve at a banquet.  Hmmm.. Delish ! Thank you LAND O LAKES^®  for creating such a delightful product !! I will be using it a lot

Ingredients ! Wholesome and Yummy !!
