Recipe View Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the rice to fully absorb any remaining liquid. (10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of water. You can also substitute different types of nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, for the almonds.
Feel free to add other vegetables, such as mushrooms or carrots, to the casserole. Adjust the amount of liquid as needed.
If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large oven-safe baking dish. Cover it tightly with aluminum foil while baking.
