  1. Heat oven to 350° F. Toast pistachios and almonds together for 20 minutes until lightly brown and fragrant. Set aside until later.

  3. Add another 1 Tbsp butter to the hot oil. Add onions and cook until soft but not brown. Add garlic, cardamom, turmeric, allspice and white pepper. Cook 2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. Add rice and mix into spices and onions until well-coated. Add raisins and apricots and stock. Season generously with salt. Stir.

  5. Return chicken to pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook 20 minutes until rice is tender.
