Orange Zested Rice 

-1 Prepare your rice as instructed on the package. You can cook your rice in a pot or rice cooker, however you prefer. If cooking in a pot, I like to toast the rice in 1 tsp of olive oil on medium heat for 2-3 minutes before adding in the water
-1 While that cooks, heat a skillet with butter on medium heat. Add in the onion and garlic and saute for about 5 minutes, until the onions begin to soften
-1 Add in the carrots and almonds and give everything a stir
-1 Mix in the spices and parsley, and cook over a medium/low flame for another 5 minutes
-1 Once the rice is ready, combine everything together in the rice pot or a serving bowl and garnish with more parsley and almonds
