2. Heat a medium dry skillet over low heat. Add the almonds and saute, stirring, until lightly toasted, then transfer to a small plate. Add the butter to the skillet and heat until melted. Add the onion and saute until golden, about 5 min. Stir in the chanterelles and apricots, and saute for 2 min.
3. Add the apricot mixture to the rice and fluff with a fork. Spoon into a serving dish and sprinkle with the toasted almonds. Serve at once.
