Sometimes simple cooking is the best. This is a simple starter pilaf rice dish that can be modified easily by adding onions, garlic, celery, carrots, the list goes on. Don’t be shy in making adjustments like trying vegetable broth instead. Or, just use butter and no oil. Or, try adding different seasonings. For me, I use this rice when I want an uncomplicated side that doesn’t overpower my main course.
