Rinse the rice, soak it in water for 15 minutes, then drain.
Finely dice the onion and garlic.
Soften the onion in butter for 5 minutes.
Add the cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and bay leaf, and bloom for 1 minute.
Add the tomato puree, vegetable stock, and salt to the pot.
Add the rice and raisins, cover, and cook for 18 minutes.
Turn off the heat, rest the pilaf for 8 minutes, then fluff with parsley and serve.
💡 Tip: Drain the rice before adding it to the tomato liquid; excess starch makes the pilaf heavy.
