I followed the recipe exactly, but my rice pilaf didn't turn out right. The rice was mushy and the flavors were off. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a little bland for my taste. I think it could have used more salt and pepper, or maybe some additional herbs. I also found that the rice was a little dry.
