Spice up brown rice by transforming the ordinary side dish into a fruity, fragrant pilaf. Leeks and garlic provide savory notes, currants add sweetness, and a handful of toasted walnuts brings crunch. Preparing the dish in a precision cooker makes the pilaf almost entirely hands-off, and you’ll never have to worry about the rice scorching on the stove.
