This pilaf was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This was the worst pilaf I've ever had. The rice was dry and the vegetables were mushy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe was a disaster! The rice was mushy and the flavors were bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I guess I'll just have to stick to my old pilaf recipe.
