Turkey Pilaf with Apricots and Almonds

Make turkey pilaf with apricots and almonds, from the first ingredient to the finished dish.

INGREDIENTS | Makes 1 serving
160 g Turkey breast (Cut into 2 cm pieces so they cook in the time the rice takes. Weighed raw. The same piece weighed after cooking has lost water, so the protein per gram is higher and the total would come out about a quarter over.)
60 g Basmati rice (Dry weight, before cooking.)
60 g Onion
200 g Chicken stock (Made up from a cube or a pot.)
3 apricots, about 24 g Dried apricots (Snipped into quarters. Three is enough sweetness. They are 43% carbohydrate by weight, nearly all of it sugar.)
8 g Almonds (Flaked or roughly chopped, toasted dry in the pan first.)
60 g Frozen peas
Half a teaspoon Ground cinnamon
A teaspoon Ground cumin
A handful, torn Fresh coriander
4 sprays, about 1 g Olive oil spray (Counted at a quarter of a gram per spray, which is what the nozzle on most bottles delivers. Four sprays is 9 kcal.)
To taste Salt
Ingredient notes on the recipe page.

METHOD
1. Toast the almonds in a dry saucepan until they smell nutty, then tip them out.
2. Spray the pan, soften the onion for five minutes, then add the turkey and spices and stir for two minutes until the meat has coloured on the outside.
3. Rinse the rice, add it with the apricots, stock and salt, and bring to the boil. Cover, turn the heat to its lowest and leave for twelve minutes.
4. Scatter the peas over the top without stirring, cover again for three minutes, then take off the heat and rest for five. Fork through, and finish with the almonds and coriander.

Contains tree nuts, celery and sulphites.
Nearly every stock cube and pot lists celery. Home-made stock without it carries no flag.
Bright orange dried apricots are treated with sulphur dioxide. Unsulphured ones are brown and carry no flag.
