Rice Pilaf shorts

Rice Pilaf There are 100s of versions of pilaf and this is one of the more basic ones. It is perfect as it is but can easily be elevated with dried fruit, nuts and other spices. It’s a great side to grilled or braised meat or vegetables.

In a shallow pan you have the lid for, add the butter on medium heat, then add the onions season with salt and saute for 3-4 minutes. 3. Add the rice (no not washed, uncle roger fans come at me) and stir through the onions. 4. Once the onions are stirred through the rice well, add the hot stock and mix.
