BROWN RICE PILAF



Brown Rice Pilaf image

Brown rice, a whole grain, contains all the nutrients and essential parts of the entire grain seed. It adds almost three times as much heart-healthy fiber to this mild-flavored brown rice pilaf as white would. Consider enjoying its slightly nutty flavor often in family recipes. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Tips:

  • Use a good quality basmati rice. This will help ensure that your pilaf is fluffy and flavorful.
  • Rinse the rice before cooking. This will help remove any excess starch and prevent the rice from sticking together.
  • Toast the rice in a little oil before adding the liquid. This will help bring out the flavor of the rice and give it a slightly nutty taste.
  • Use a flavorful broth. This will add depth and flavor to your pilaf. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even a combination of both.
  • Don't overcook the rice. Pilaf is best when it is slightly al dente. Overcooked rice will be mushy and bland.
  • Add your favorite vegetables and seasonings to the pilaf. This is a great way to customize the dish to your own taste.

Conclusion:

Brown rice pilaf with onions and corn is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or main course. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful rice dish, give this recipe a try.
