This Rice Pilaf Dish for you could be made tonight
I don’t know about you but I have never been one to eat too many prepackaged boxed dishes. I do like a good rice pilaf and it’s really not that difficult to make. Generally the pre-packaged items have gluten in them so I definitely avoid them. But I have a rice pilaf dish for you.
I happen to love rice. I enjoy a wide variety or rice including Basmati, Jasmine, Brown, Wild, White, Arborio, Black, you get the idea. It’s easy to make and just so versatile as a result you can really pair it with any type of meal you are eating.
This is a great side dish to go with whatever you like to pair rice with. Just gives it some added flavor.
