Rice Pilaf image

This classic recipe is a great way to upgrade your meal. It only takes a few minutes longer to cook as plain rice, with a few added ingredients. Pierre Franey served this alongside chicken and seafood in sauce, but feel free to pair it as you wish. It has a subtle flavor that won't clash with sauces or spices.

This rice pilaf was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more salt and pepper.
