For a richer flavor, toast the cashews in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned. Watch carefully, as they can burn quickly. Ensure the rice is cooked through. If the liquid is absorbed but the rice is still firm, add a little more broth and continue to cook until tender. Feel free to substitute slivered almonds or chopped walnuts for the cashews. Add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving to brighten the flavors.
