What would any holiday be without serving traditional pilaf? Christine Vartanian Datian learned from the best – her mother Alice Vartanian and her late grandmother, Pepay Sarkisian. They taught her how to prepare many holiday dishes including this festive nut-and fruit-topped pilaf.
Christine’s recipe for Armenian Pilaf with Raisins and Almonds was originally published in the New York Times 2014 Thanksgiving Food Blog.
This updated version of a family favorite is in demand, especially during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.
