1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp fresh dill, snipped or 2 teaspoons dried dill

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your pilaf a more complex flavor. Some good options include shiitake, oyster, cremini, and chanterelle mushrooms.
  • Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the pilaf. This will help to brown them and enhance their flavor.
  • Use a good quality broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pilaf. Try to use a homemade broth if you can.
  • Cook the pilaf over low heat. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
  • Fluff the pilaf with a fork before serving. This will help to separate the grains of rice and make the pilaf light and fluffy.
