Step-By-Step Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to boiling. Add the rice and salt and return to boiling. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the rice is tender.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion for 7 to 8 minutes, until soft. Add the celery and carrots and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, and marjoram and sauté for 1 minute; set aside until the rice is cooked.
- Toss the cooked rice with the vegetable mixture. Stir in the cherries, pepper, parsley, and almonds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
