This pilaf is a great make-ahead meal. I made it on the weekend and then reheated it throughout the week for lunch. It was just as delicious reheated as it was fresh.

I'm not usually a fan of pilaf, but this recipe changed my mind. The rice was fluffy and flavorful, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. I especially loved the crunch of the bell peppers.
