                                          • Preheat oven to 350 °F.
                                          • In a tilted skillet or skillets, heat oil on medium–high heat.
                                            For 25 servings, use 2 extra-large skillets.
                                            For 50 servings, use 4 extra-large skillets.
                                          • Add onions and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.
                                          • Add uncooked rice, almonds, salt, allspice, turmeric, curry powder, and black pepper.
                                          • Stir constantly until rice is yellow and almonds and seasoning are lightly toasted, 1–2 minutes. Do not burn.
                                          • Stir in chicken broth. Increase heat to medium–high and bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
                                          • Lightly coat a half steam table pan (10³⁄8″ x 12³⁄4″ x 2”) with nonstick cooking spray.
                                            For 25 servings, use 1 steam table pan.
                                            For 50 servings, use 2 steam table pans.
                                          • Transfer rice mixture to steam table pan. Cover with foil, and bake 45 minutes to 1 hour or until liquid is fully absorbed. Fluff the rice gently with a fork.
