This pilaf was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This recipe is missing some key ingredients. It needs more salt and pepper, and maybe some garlic powder.

This pilaf was a lot of work to make and it didn't turn out that great. I don't think I'll be making it again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pilaf turned out mushy. I think I might have added too much water.

This pilaf was a little too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This pilaf is a great way to use up leftover rice. I added some chopped vegetables to the mix and it turned out delicious.
