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

This pilaf was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think it could have used less chili powder or cayenne pepper.

This pilaf was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices or herbs. The rice was also a bit dry.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pilaf came out great! I used a mix of brown and white rice, and it turned out really well. The pilaf was flavorful and fluffy, and the toasted almonds added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
