Directions
Soak rice 2 hours to shorten cooking time.
Rinse and drain.
In a large non-stick saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon, heat 1 tablespoon oil and sauté onion and garlic until tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add cloves and cook 1 minute.
Add rice and stir to coat.
Add salt, broth and the cinnamon stick.
Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 20 to 25 minutes, until liquid is absorbed.
Discard cinnamon stick.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil; add raisins and almonds and warm.
Mix with rice and serve.
